FAKE PROMISES & SCALES
Memorise:
Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.
Proverbs 20:10
Read: Proverbs 20:7-10
7 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
1 Chronicles 26:1 -- 28:,
Luke 19:11 -- 40
Message
It is unfortunate that some people make promises and don’t bother to keep them. This is one area that requires restitution. Broken promises can stand against you in eternity. This is why you should not make a promise you are not prepared to keep. Politicians easily fall prey here. When they are campaigning for votes, they will promise heaven and earth, but after their election, many of them fail to live up to their promises. If you are a child of God and a politician, let people know the difference between light and darkness by making sure you fulfil your promises. One of the characters of a person who will enjoy the ever-abiding presence of God and make heaven is keeping of promises. Psalm 15:1&4b says: “LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?....He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.”
There is a user of this devotional: you have made several promises to individuals and even to the Church of God but failed to keep them. Your inability to fulfil them is keeping back certain promises made to you from being fulfilled. If you can repent and fulfil your pending promises, the door will be opened for promises made to you to be fulfilled.
Closely allied to the issue of trustworthiness is the use of fake weights and measures, especially in trading activities. Some people beat in their measuring cups so that they can make more profit. That is fraudulent. Believers should not manipulate their instruments, but measure accurately. Serve completely and charge for it. Sell a full cup for the full amount and not 3/4 of a cup for the full amount. You cannot be asking for God’s blessings and be doing what He hates. Proverbs 11:1 says: “A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.”
Just as individuals offend here, so also do governments and government agencies. For instance, any government agency making people pay for services not rendered is fraudulent and destroying itself. One way this happens is through the use of fixed estimates by power companies. When a person’s monthly consumption of energy is 200 units, why must such a person be compelled to pay for 300 or more units? This is serious fraud. This also applies to fuel (gas) stations. Some of them tamper with their meters so that instead of the requested quantity being delivered, fewer litres are dispensed for the same price. They believe people will not know, but what about God? In any way you are delivering below what is expected of you or your organisation, repent and return the difference to the owners before it is too late.
Key Point:
Whatever is not originally yours that you take from others by deceit can never truly add to you.
Memorise:
Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.

Learning from Lagos
Nigeria’s commercial capital is crowded, noisy, violent—and a model for the rest of the country
FOR a city that dubs itself the “centre of excellence”, Lagos has a lousy reputation. The mere mention of Nigeria’s commercial centre conjures images of crime, corruption and motionless traffic. The bodies of people run over in car accidents can be left on the street for hours and commuters in even the poshest parts of town are sometimes caught in shoot-outs between robbers and policemen. Little wonder then that in a ranking of the “liveability” of 140 cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit, a sister company of this paper, it sits in the bottom five. The besieged Libyan capital Tripoli scores higher, and war-threatened Damascus only fractionally worse. Its citizens are also an unruly lot: men urinate on the don’t urinate signs, people hawk by the don’t hawk signs and loiter by the no loitering signs...

Sticking to bridal white! Kendall Jenner steps out in chic cigarette cut trousers and a wrap blouse after triumphant Chanel show
She was hand-picked by Karl Lagerfeld to close his couture show on Tuesday morning.
And Kendall Jenner appeared to want to prolong her role as a Chanel bride as she was seen leaving the iconic Grand Palais following yet another successful presentation at Paris' Haute Couture Fashion Week.
The fashion darling made a stylish exit from the venue in a bridal white ensemble as she teamed a plunging wrap top with high-waisted trousers.
Scroll down for video
Kendall Jenner has really conquered the fashion world. The reality television starlet turned supermodel has been the face of labels like Balmain, Givenchy and Estee Lauder and today she closed the Chanel Couture AW15 show in Paris. Nice work.
Kendall wore an ivory trouser suit on the runway but as she left the show venue she was back to rocking her own cool off-duty style, wearing an all-white look and her favourite silver shoes. It just goes to prove that low heels and high fashion do mix!
These fantastic flats are by Barbara Bui and we love the metallic sheen. The pointed toe and buckle detail across the front toughens up her otherwise innocent ensemble, and the block heel means they were made for walking!
These bad boys are annoyingly sold out but click (right) to buy a pair of new season silver brogues by by Barbara Bui instead. Or shop our edit of shiny shoes below. Asos has a great high street version of the Bui originals or head to Kurt Geiger for loafers given a space age edge.

Kendall, who has also campaigned for the likes of Michael Kors, Balmain and Marc Jacobs, was styled further with bold blush-tinted cheeks, a dark crimson lip and well-defined eyes.
The young fashion icon walked for a star-studded audience including one of Chanel's top fashion muses Kristen Stewart as well as Julianne Moore, Rita Ora, and many others.
As well as watching Karl Lagerfeld present his latest designs, the VIPs also enjoyed the elaborate entertainment Chanel had laid on for its star guests.

| White on trend: Kendall Jenner appeared to want to prolong her role as a Chanel bride as she was seen leaving the iconic Grand Palais following yet another successful Chanel presentation |
Adding a touch of pazazz to the look with silver brogues, the model completed her simple but stylish outfit with black shades and a matching handbag.
Her long locks were styled into a simple ponytail and she drew attention to her model out with ruby red lipstick.
However, during her appearance on the runway, the model-of-the-moment almost went unnoticed as she strutted down the catwalk with composed poise and posture.
With her long raven coloured locks nowhere to be seen, the 19-year-old star looked worlds apart from her usual self as she covered up her hair with a cropped wig.

Doing what she does best: Kendall managed to rule the runway during Paris' Haute Couture Fashion Week on Tuesday morning.
Here she comes! The teen model covered up her lean and slender frame in a structured off-white satin suit, which included a tailored jacket with dramatic broad shoulders and slim-fit trousers.
The American beauty was made this season’s star of the show after getting hand-picked by Karl, the noted position is usually given to Kendall’s best friend Cara Delevingne.
Meanwhile, the striking model covered up her lean and slender frame in a structured off-white satin suit, from the fashion house’s latest collection, which included a tailored jacket with dramatic broad shoulders and slim-fit trousers.
The chic two-piece ensemble, which boasted a trailing semi-sheer cape and large floral embellishing, highlighted the style star’s incredible figure to perfection.

Not stopping: She looked like a woman on a mission as she passed through the French capital

LOVE MUST BE RECIPROCATED
Memorise:
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
John 15:10
Read: John 15:9-10
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
1 Chronicles 23 -- 25
Luke 18:35 -- 19:10
Message
God loves us so much that He gave us Himself as a gift. Giving Jesus Christ to die for us was the same as giving Himself to us (1 Timothy 3:16). But He did not stop there; He went further, pointing out to us in Romans 8:32 that: “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”
However, love should be a two-way exchange, and not one-sided. If you love someone and your love is not being reciprocated, after a while, something will happen to that love. That love may grow cold or even die. The same applies to the relationship between God and us. If you check through the Scriptures, you will learn that whenever God does something for someone, He expects them to do something in return. It is one thing to be loved and another thing to abide in that love. While you were in your sins, God demonstrated His love for you by sending Himself, in the person of Jesus Christ, to die for you. When you respond to this divine initiative by repenting of your sins and accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you will be washed by His blood and forgiven. After this, God increases His love towards you, and when you reciprocate, that love increases.
Love begets greater love. If you want to sustain or increase the love that God has for you, reciprocate His love. In today’s reading, Jesus tells us that when He came to earth as a man, He was loved by the Father; but to sustain that love, He had to keep the Father’s commandments. What the Father expected of Jesus is what He expects of us today. There is no way you will continue in God’s love when you deliberately break His commandments or refuse to obey Him. If He has loved you, He expects you to love Him too. He expects your obedience. He also expects you to love other brethren. How have you reciprocated the love of the Lord? Even though afflictions, persecutions, angels, Satan, what we see and what we can’t see cannot separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:35-39), disobedience, manifested by violation of His word, can deal that love a terrible blow.
Action Point:
List some things you have never done that you can start doing to reciprocate the love of God. Do them from today!
