Reasonable Fee
A man phones a lawyer and asks, "How much would you charge for just answering three simple questions?"
The lawyer replies, "A thousand dollars."
"A thousand dollars!" exclaims the man. "That's very expensive isn't it?"
"It certainly is," says the lawyer. "Now, what's your third question?"
A Word for Today
Is your love genuine?
"The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith"
- 1 Timothy 1:5 ( NLT)
Apostle Paul is telling us today as believers that we ought to be filled with 'love that comes from a pure heart'. Love is one of the words that have been misinterpreted in this generation, many have interpreted love in so many wrong ways, and even as believers we are beginning to form our own ideology about what love should be. We feel we can only love those who love us, we say to ourselves, 'why should I be the one to greet first', 'why should I be the first one to take a step', or perhaps, you have been reaching out to someone and they are not responsive, you might want to give up on them and just leave them to themselves, imagine if God left you to yourself. God loves us so much that He was willing to keep reaching out to us until we accepted His love, He not only professed to love us but forgave us and gave His 'only son' to die for us. Pure love is not mere words alone, but is backed up by actions, it is amazing how many believers profess to be full of faith but empty of true love, you can not have genuine faith like our verse says today without exhibiting pure love.
'For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.' Galatians 5:6
Let us make up our minds to show love out of a pure heart to people around us, to the less privileged, those who are in need, forgive those who have hurt you, don't be weary in reaching to others.
Confession
I am filled with love that comes from a pure heart, and by the grace of God, my faith will express itself as I show true love to people around me. Halleluyah!

If you don't Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer: Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
