Even as we continue rejoicing in God’s goodness and mercy, I pray that we can give Him room to work in our lives. There is a peace that comes with yielding to Him and allowing Him to have His way. May this be our disposition. Psalm 139:1-12

Just woke up thanking God for His mercy and grace towards me and my family on the 24th anniversary of our marriage. On Dec 6th 1997 Camilla and I trusted God and we committed to love Him and love one another. He has been wonderful to us and we thank Him. Thank you too for standing with us. May this same God surround you with His presence always. And may we all yield to Him more and more. Our prayer as a couple going forward is Psalm 140:23-24.

Listen to Today’s Devotion “We have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him” (Matthew 2:2). You know, people see signs of God every day. Sunsets that steal the breath. Newborns that bring tears. But do all who see the signs draw near to God? No. The wise men, however, understood the purpose of the sign, and they followed it to Jerusalem, where they heard about the scripture. The prophecy told them where to find Christ. It is interesting to note that the star reappeared after they learned about the prophecy. The star “came and stood shining right over the place where the Child was” (Matthew 2:9). It is as if the sign and Word worked together to bring the wise men to Jesus. The ultimate aim of all God’s messages, both miraculous and written, is to shed the light of heaven on Jesus.

When someone invites us to their function, there are certain things expected of us. It may be dress code, a gift, some rituals, we may be expected to eat or not to eat, etc. If we honour the host, we will comply. The King of Kings is inviting us to His banquet. Will we comply? He is a gracious host. Matthew 11:27-28.

May we not be among those who refuse God’s invitation. In Isaiah 32:4-8, there is reference to a scoundrel or fool. May that not be our portion. May we be the one referred to as noble.

When we purpose to heed God’s invitation, then we dwell in His presence. When we do so as the body of Christ, our dwelling place becomes His dwelling and His kingdom becomes our kingdom. Isaiah 32:1-8.

Jesus told the parable of the wedding feast as narrated in Matthew 22:1-14. The master’s invitation was ignored thrice. His servants were killed. After Christ’s death, His servants were also killed as they went preaching the good news. Was the parable a warning to the followers of Christ? And to Chriatians today about their persecution? May His grace abound towards us.

We are so uniquely different and our perception of issues varies. Is our definition of love the same as the Lord’s? 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 defines love. May we understand love from His perspective.

What if agape love was the motivation behind our every action, how would our society be? What if it was the basis of all our motives, how would our relationships and lives generally be? Hiw would the home and office environment be? How would our schools be? Would our actions be informed by selfish motives? Would we take advantage of others? Would greed be the driving force in our community? Would we trust God more? 1 Corinthians 13:1-13.

Different people are given different gifts by the Lord, but these are for the glory and honour of His name. May we never forget that. We must constantly go back to Him and ask Him where and how we should apply these gifts. 1 Corinthians 12:1-11.
