You Must VI
Mark 12:30 “And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.”
Each time there is a space between you and the person you are in a relationship with and you are faced with the question, who should move, the answer is you. And to take that a step further into the heart of God, what God wants is that both of you will become mature in God and will both collide with each other on the seat. Read the rest of this entry
You Must V
1Cor.13:4 “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged”
Remember our closing story from yesterday’s devotional? We will be taking our answer to the question of who moved a step further today. The seat that was between the couple at the end of the pastor’s message was now filled and the question is, who moved? The person that should move is the person that is closer to God.
You Must IV
Phil.2:3 “Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves”
If you are still single, my advice is do not marry a selfish person. It is just an advice. Selfishness is a huge destroyer. A person cannot be selfish and humble at the same time. It does not work that way. Selfishness is one of the major cankerworms that destroys the fabric of marriage. Read the rest of this entry
You Must III
Eph.4:32 “Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you” [with emphasis].
If love is to last in our relationships, we must Listen with all our hearts and Forgive with all our hearts. Yesterday we explained the difference between acceptance and forgiveness. However, some issues in marriage are actually forgiveness issues. Relationships are between two imperfect people. Read the rest of this entry
You Must II
Rom. 15:7 “Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory” [with emphasis]
The second thing that you and I must do if love is to last in our relationships is that we must forgive with all of our heart. The challenge with us is we confuse acceptance with forgiveness. Acceptance is not forgiveness. There is a difference between acceptance and forgiveness. Read the rest of this entry
You Must I
1 Peter 1:22 “You must keep on loving with all your heart.” [CEV, with emphasis]
Paul says you and I “…must keep on loving with all your heart”. When I read this I had to ask God to help me. You must keep loving not with a part of your heart but with all your heart. The question is how can one do that? How do we keep on loving with all our hearts for a life time? Read the rest of this entry
Love Matters
1 Peter 1:22 “You must keep on loving with all your heart.” [CEV, with emphasis]
A lot of people relate with God based on His power and might. Such people would usually start their prayers like this, “Oh God of heaven, Thou mighty, magnificent, omnipotent God of the universe, I come to You today…” There is nothing wrong with that because God is all that and more.

God of Love
John 3:16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believe in him will not perish but have eternal life”.
Scientists say the moon is three hundred and eighty four thousand kilometers away. Your DNA will stretch to the moon and back one thousand five hundred times. Every time you look at the moon, remember that you are so loaded. Read the rest of this entry
This Our God
Jer.1:5 “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”
God wants you to know today that He is aware of every detail of your life and He knows the plans that He has for you. He is saying to you like He said to Jeremiah in Jer.32:27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” Read the rest of this entry

Num.25:7 “…Phinehas thrust the spear all the way through the man’s body and into the woman’s stomach. So the plague against the Israelites was stopped… 10 Then the Lord said to Moses… 12 Now tell him that I am making my special covenant of peace with him”
King Jehoash came to Elisha seeking a solution and as part of the solution, Elisha told him to strike the ground with arrows [please read 2 kings 13:14-19]. Jehoash struck the ground three times and stopped. Read the rest of this entry
