DON’T JUST GET THE JOB DONE

Colossians 3:23 – “Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men.“ In today’s busy days, where so many things are practically instant, we have an urgency to get things done quickly. And in the process, we don’t realize that we are just getting the job done, fast, and out […]

Living the Scriptures

Philippians 4:9 “Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.” What we say and what we do is reflective of who we are and where we come from. It is no secret that our actions speak louder than […]

God’s Little Light

Matthew 5:14: You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. The attribute of salt is the distinctive thing that gives the salt its identity and uniqueness. A Believer also has a light smaller than from where they get their source of Light – Jesus! Jesus […]

Obedience before sacrifice

If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in His love. John 15:10 Just think of what a difference in meaning it would make if the words in this sentence were interchanged. “If you remain in my love, you will keep my […]

God’s Dwelling Place in Us!

John 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, if anyone loves me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. Our God desires to make His home with us. This is the most beautiful aspect we find in today’s devotion. […]

Give Praise to God

Psalm 50:14 “Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High” When we go through times of trouble, when everything around us seems to be going wrong, God is our refuge and our strength. We call upon God to bring us out of our times of trouble and He never lets us […]

The Perfect Plan of God

Ephesians 2:10 NKJV “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” God may not always reveal our purpose to us. Sometimes He conceals it from us, until such time that we are prepared to walk into it. He always finishes […]

The Reward to Obedience

John 15:10 – “If you keep my commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in His love.” The dictionary defines obedience as “compliance with an order, request, or law, or submission to another’s authority”.  To what extent are we willing to obey and comply with God’s commandments?  Jesus “was” […]

Love Proof

  If you love me, keep my commandments. John 14:15 (NKJV)   Must love be proven? If you have to buy something to show love, is it really love? Can a gesture or words alone bridge the gap between two individuals? We often hear people talking about showing love to others. Everyone wants to be loved […]
