  MADE TO SERVE GOD 1 Corinthians 3:5-17 Devotional:- “For we are both God's workers. And you are God's field. You are God's building. (V.9 NLT) God put you on earth to make contributions and make a difference with your life. Another purpose of your life is to serve the Lord wherever you are. You are created to add to the earth and not just to take from it. This purpose of your life is called ministry or service. It is very important that you live in this consciousness, you were created to serve God (Ephesians 2:10). Wherever you are either in the school or in the office, be sure you are serving God and fulfilling your purpose.  God saved you to serve Him. Your work, business or academic is also a work and a service to the Lord (Ephesians 6:5-7). God redeemed you to do His holy work everywhere in your life. It is service that gives value to your life (2 Timothy 1:9). Ministry is not only for pastors but for all members of the body of Christ. We are not to sit and wait for h...

IT PLEASES GOD               

Psalms 69:30-36
Devotional-“This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bull, Which has horns and hooves” (V. 31)


    Praises make a man’s life to please God. This is because praises involve humility and the fear of the Lord (Psalms 25:9-14). Praises open the door of the life of a man to God. Praises make God to be enthroned in the life of a man (Psalms 22:3). Praises make God to guide a man into his destiny (Acts 13:2). Having all of these experiences make a man to please the Lord in praises.


    The Psalmist says, I will praise the name of the Lord with a song and magnify Him with thanksgiving. This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bull. In other word, a sacrifice of praises is more pleasing to God. The word of God says our worship become reasonable or acceptable when we praise Him from a surrendered heart (Romans 12:1). So, praises is an act of righteousness before the Lord.

    The word of God says, when a man’s way pleases the Lord, even his enemy will be at peace with him (Proverbs 16:17). That is why the Bible says, if God be for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31). If praises is therefore what makes us please God, then sorrow and anxiety makes us displease God (2 Corinthians 10:12). So, chose to always praise God and your ways will always be pleasing to God. So, He will make your way prosperous. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, let your praises terminate all that displeases you in my life.

“GOD WILL ALWAYS GIVE HIS BEST TO A MAN THAT PLEASES HIM ALWAYS”

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.
