  FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD Romans 5:1-11 Devotional:- “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (V. 10)  As a kingdom citizen please known that God wants to be your best friend. This is because intimacy is part of your act of worship. It is true that God is our maker and redeemer yet he wants to be our friend. Remember we were made to live continually in God’s presence but it is sin that makes us loose that (Gen 3, Roman 3:23)  In our scripture for today we saw that it was grace through the sacrifice of the cross that gives us access to friendship with God (2 Corinthians 5:18). Our friendship with God does not mean casual acquaintance but close and trusted relationships just like the best man in a wedding. In the palace the servant must keep their distance from the king but there are some people in circle of intimate and trusted friends with the king. They enjoy free an...

ACCEPT YOUR ASSIGNMENT

ACCEPT YOUR ASSIGNMENT         

Romans 9:14-24
Devotional Verse:-“But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?"” (V. 20)


   In the plan of God for making you, He has the best in mind for you (Jeremiah 29:11). The form by which He made you may not be the one like that of your friend, but it is the best for you. Most people compare their life with others and the Bible says, this is not wisdom (2 Corinthians 10:12). This is the reason why many will never fulfill their destiny.
 
   The word of God says the potter have the right to determine the shape of the clay. It is the potter that knows the reason he wants to make the clay into what shape. It is therefore wisdom that a man should accept the mode God has made him into and be happy with it. Many struggle with life today and fails because they don't like the way God made them. No one will ever be happy trying to be like another person. Your sense of self-esteem and joy will be of quality when you accept and celebrate what God has fashioned you into.
 
   Friend, things don't have to go for you the way it goes for your friend. You need to be grateful for your mode or your shape in life. You need to love your life and be thankful. Then you will be able to make the most of your life. Not everyone will like what you do, yet, the people you are sent to will always celebrate you. Don't let the devil steal your joy of service. All you need to do is to grow in your shape. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, help me to always celebrate myself

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 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.
