APPRECIATION

  APPRECIATION Psalm 92:1-10 Devotional:- “It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High” (v.1) NKJV It is in the habit of most people that when they are expecting something from God, they will do everything possible to gain His favour. But as soon as it is done, that thing loses value to them. So, people only value what they don’t have. This sometimes does not make us have a heart of gratitude to God. We will always promise to give thanks, but as soon as we receive our expectations, some will forget to give thanks. Many do not know that the opportunity or privilege that is available to them is what qualifies them for what they are expecting. But they look down on this because their expectations have not been met. Your health is more important than travelling abroad. The breath of life you enjoy is far more valuable than the car or job you are expecting. In fact, this qualifies you for those things. Friend, no matter what God has done for you,...

SOCIAL CAPITAL​​​​

SOCIAL CAPITAL​​​​

Luke 16:1-13
Devotional-"And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home”  (V. 9)



    One of the most potent and widely misunderstood virtue is that of social capita.  Many have dashed their destinies because of their wrong view of this. Many turned wicked and some turned to organizing robbery and kidnapping of their friends for money since their expectations from  people they depended on are not forth coming. It is the reason why crime is increasing in the land today. This is because people feel someone have and he did not give them. So, they want to get their share anyway.


   Jesus told a parable about a servant whose master wanted to sack. In his hopelessness he started treating the customers well with his masters good. This is out rightly wrong but the master commended him for something. Social capital is capital deposited in people to later collect it back even with interest without they knowing. See, you have something or you know something that can help others, use it to help. It is the help you render to someone today that becomes your social capital harvest tomorrow.

  Friend, observe that most of the help you enjoy are often from people you have helped before. To think because you are just playing and laughing with people will qualify you for their things is not really true. Don't be lazy or idle. Your gift and talents, your opportunities are for social capital investment. I pity those who have been in church for ten years and bless nobody either with their ability or substance. Don't be proud. Be a blessing and you shall be blessed. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me the wisdom of a contributor.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
