Today's Devotion-Refuge in times of trouble

2 Chron 20:12 O our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you." NIV

This year was ushered to us with many exciting event in our history. The first African American President took an oath. Which has been covered by all news and headlines all over the world, almost simultaneous with the increasing number of people world wide who was layed off and lost their job.

As a believer we recognized that these event and development are not happening by chance but by divine providence. God always brings hope in any given siuation to lead people to recognized Him as the source of life and blessing!

We might mistakenly consider to find our help in man, but though man will do everything he could He will always come to his limit. That's why in situation like we have today, may we seek our help in God through;

1. Recognized His capability
2. Remember and believed His promises
3. Resolved to trust in God

As of this writing, I recieved messages of some brethren who just lost thier job, a sudden change of life, especially to those whose confidence is in thier good employment! ut thank God, that He taught us to placed our trust in Him.

We might lost our employment, but it does not mean we lost our blessing and provision, for God is our supply!You might be in the most troubled time in you life, but this is also your most previlege time to enjoy the power, the love and the goodness of God!

Please read the whole story of King Jehoshapat and see yourself in the same way God brought thier deliverance and help!

Let's settle our case in God's hand!

Today's Devotion-Overflow with love

1 John 4:7-127 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. NIV

Life is not worth living when there is no love lowing and coming to it!Many are expecting to have a healthy relationship but refusing to express thier love to those who should they love.But God should us how to and whom to love. The Bible is teaching us atleast three different description of love; The Agape, which the highest of all is selfless and unconditional, a kind of love the God showed and we are expected to sho specially to the most unworthy of it. and to those whom God brought to us and we call family.Another is Peleo which is a friendly love, a mutual exprssion ofpeople who choose to maintain a good relationship, sharing laugther, joy, sorrow and almost all that life brings. This is also shown by God to hose who will honor Him and love Him as our verse on top recored.Last is the Eros; a love that is monogamous and private, it considers others intrudes if they try to intefer and be involved in it. God call sin any practice of it in more than one person. For it is a marital love that includes the sexual love which is only allowed after the day of marriage.

The point is this, what ever status you have in this love, you are expected to show love without violating the right application of it. Agape is open to all, while Agape is limited to those you trust, while Eros is only when God bless you with the one you choose to love as your life time partner under God's will and word.

Let us overflow with love, ot because we feel like doing it, but simply because we choose to show it!God bless and let His love show to you and may you enjoy it too as you give to others!

Loved by Him,Bong G
