SUCCESS YOUR PURPOSE 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Devotional:- “And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing” (V. 8) NLT When a person turns to the Lord, invite Jesus to his/her life, and surrender to Jesus as Lord and saviour, then he/she sincerely becomes a Christian. This is the state many in the church has not attained. Many struggle to surrender their lives to the Lord because they are afraid of failure, not able to trust God to give them success, and their love for the things of this world (1 John 2:15-17). When you sincerely surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your view of success cannot but change. Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7). When you start to live for God, your definition of success will change from materials to purpose. Liv...

SOUND MIND​​​

2 Timothy 1:1-7
Devotional- “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”  (V. 7)
    A major virtue of creation that God has given to us is our mind. The word of God says as a man thinks so his life will be (Proverbs 23:7). Which means, your mind is a creative force. People need to know that the moment their mind and your mouth is going the different ways it will not stand. The two will have to agree to bring forth something good for you (Ephesians 3:20)


   That is why the word of God says, God has not given us the spirit to fear but of love, of power and of sound mind. This is a mind that is not confused. This is a mind that is calmed and well balanced in reasoning and deciding. This is a mind that is able to discipline itself and control itself to do what is right. The Bible says this mind is a product of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:9-16). And this is a mind that is capable of aiding us to create our success.

   There is a need for our mind to be positive to be able to create a good life. You need to expose your mind to the word of God, so that, it can aid you to create a better tomorrow that God design for you. When a mind is influenced by the Spirit of God it will be positive. If your heart believes life must be hard, it will be so. If your heart believes you can't get money, it will be so. Your result is a product of your mind. Sound mind is a mind of faith. This is what determines all that happens to you on earth (Ephesians 3:20). Peace

PRAYER: Lord, give me the Holy Spirit influenced mind.

“A SOUND MIND IS THE ONE THAT CANNOT BE CORRUPTED”

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.

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
