  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...

JOYFUL HEART           

Psalms 63:1-11
Devotional -“My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips” (V. 5)



       It is going to be difficult for a sorrowful heart to praise God (Proverbs 25:20). That is why we must always fellowship with the Holy Spirit so that we can always bear the fruit of joy. The reason why many people in Church and even in the music ministry do not always praise God is sorrow. It will be challenging to combine sorrow and praises (Psalms 137:1-6). So, we need a joyful heart to be able to praise the Lord.

     The word of God says, my soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness and my mouth shall praise you with a joyful heart. To maintain a joyful heart, we must allow the Spirit of God to rule over our heart. It is then we can bear joy as one of the fruits of our lives (Galatians 5:22). We must also take pleasure in the will of God and putting our hope in God. Be patient and be satisfied with God. The Psalmist says, my soul shall be satisfied in God.

    Friend, not many things gives us joy in this world. We sometimes put ourselves in sorrow when we don’t have corresponding action of faith with our expectations. Therefore, any time the expected result is not coming, we easily get disturbed. But we are the one who did not act in obedience to God. When our hope and expectations becomes delayed, we become discouraged (Proverbs 13:12). We must be willing to keep a consistent work of faith with the Holy Spirit and with joy we shall be praiseful. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me unending grace for joy

“A JOYFUL HEART WILL EASILY PRAISE GOD”

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.

COURAGE

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.
