ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONAL.
Sunday 22nd October, 2923.
Topic: Works Of Love Makes Faith Complete.
Memory Verse:James 2:20. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Bible Reading :James 2:15-17 KJV. Key Verse: v17.
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Believers are otherwise known as children of God. As children, we have to behave like him in many ways because his blood runs in our system. God himself is the origin of faith. We see him manifest faith from the beginning of all things. From the point of creation, he called those things that was not into existence by his spoken words. He made all things out of nothing using the creative principle of faith. That is the reason he is called the author and finisher or the beginning and ending of our faith. “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”Genesis 1:3-5.
Now, faith on it’s own alone does not depict in completeness that we are children of God. It must stand of two legs to be complete. The second leg of faith that strikes the needed balance and gives faith expression is works of love.”Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.” 1 John 4:7-9. It takes a heart of love for onyone to give or share what he has with another, just like God himself who gave us Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit including other things we have.
This heart of love, which is the nature of God is therefore demonstrated by care. Today we have to learn that it takes love and care for the true nature of God to be seen in us. We can’t just stop at the level of believing alone to seen as children of God because even devils believe and tremble, but can never manifest love because they lack compassion. “But someone might object and say, “One person has faith and another person has works.” Go ahead then and prove to me that you have faith without works and I will show you faith by my works as proof that I believe. You can believe all you want that there is one true God, that’s wonderful! But even the demons know this and tremble with fear before him, yet they’re unchanged—they remain demons.” James 2:18-19 TPT.
Prayer : Thank you Father God for making me your own. Help me to be like you in everything. Give me a compassionate heart just like you. Put substance in my hands and help me always display my faith in you through works of love in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Acts 9:32-42.
