33 Devotionals - Walking in God's Love & Power

I n life, we have many obligations and commitments. Each of us play multiple roles. One needs to be a parent, a son, an employee and the roles increase as you are actively involved in more things. Often Christians have no qualms to take on these roles and more activities. Yet, sometimes we may struggle to commit more to God and to His kingdom. For it is easier to commit to things which we can see and things which will directly benefit us. But we are called to a life of eternity. We are not meant to build just treasures on this earth, but to build our treasures in heaven and for the eternity life that God has prepared us for. (Matt 6:19-21) The bible reminds us in Col 3:2 to set our minds on things above and not on things on the earth. It is not wrong to be busy with work and family and things are on earth. But let it not be the only things that you go after. While we think that promotion will come from our hard work and personal achievements, do not forget that the sovereignt...

Matthew 22:37 37 Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart , with all your soul , and with all your mind .’ Here are some practical ways we can seek the kingdom of God: Align your heart with God’s heart. Psalm 33:13-15 The LORD looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. From the place of His dwelling He looks On all the inhabitants of the earth; He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works. God know’s our hearts. But do we know God’s heart? We have to align our heart with God’s. *Ezekiel 28:2 and v6 “... you set your heart as the heart of a god…” It is possible that we can set our heart as the heart of a god. Having the heart of a person is like loving what the person loves, feeling how the person feels and disliking what the person dislikes. When you have the heart of a person, you are constantly having this feeling of wanting this person more. Likewise, we have to constantly be fe...

Matthew 6:9-13 New King James Version (NKJV)   In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as  it is  in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. In Matthew chapter 6, after Jesus taught the disciples about the Lord’s prayer, Jesus said to them, “Do not worry…” 3 times . (From v14 to v34, 20 verses.) v25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life…” v31 “Therefore do not worry...:” v34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow…” The way Jesus put it, it is almost like an order. It is a concluding statement . If you have done mathematics in school, you would know that when we work out a problem sum, we would give a concluding statement with our calculated an...

Today, you may be experiencing challenges and feeling overwhelmed and defeated by the situation that you are in. Our solution is found in God's love for us. God's love is not just a feeling. God's love is a fact and it is powerful. God's love for us brings about His Defense for us. He will defend us from the accusations and attacks from the devil. Indeed as what Rom 8:31 says, if God is for us, who can be against us? So you do not need to feel defeated. Defeat is a feeling and is NOT God's fact. God's fact is Deliverance. God will deliver us from defeat into victory. God has given us His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, to deliver us from death into life, from darkness into His glorious light. God's love for us is sacrificial and generous.  God's love for us is so great that it compels Him to give us His all and His best. Therefore, if God has not withheld His most Precious only Son from us, He will freely give us all things. His Deliverance brin...
