OBEDIENCE

  OBEDIENCE Acts 13:42-52 Devotional:- “And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.” (v.52) NKJV A great instrument that can sustain joy in the life of God’s children is obedience. When a man disobey God, the enemy just strategically makes him lose his right decision. The devil has just made him follow a wrong path and shunned his part in God’s help and provision. So he cannot help but experience sorrow and regret at last. Many don’t just know why they have sorrow. They do not know that they are created by God for God (Isaiah 43:21). So when man disobeys, it is life out of course (Psalms 82:5). The disciples were led by the Holy Spirit to send Paul and Barnabas on an assignment for God (Acts 13:1-3). But as they went on their journey for God’s assignment, they were confronted with persecution by the Jews. Yet, they had great joy. This was not the joy of success but of obedience that they were walking in the will of the Father. See, an obedient servant will alwa...

ANNOUNCEMENT

ANNOUNCEMENT        

1 Samuel 18:1-9
Devotional Verse:-“So the women sang as they danced, and said: "Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands." (V. 7)



    Every destiny on earth needs announcement. In other words, people need to know you for something. It is what people know you for that they will be willing to pay you for. That is why; it is so important that you serve God with your gifts and talents so that the world might discover you. God placed in your life something that the world needs, but if you are not announced to your world, you may not be discovered.

   When David made himself available to solve the problem of defeating and killing Goliath, he became popular in Israel. By this popularity, the king became jealous of him. Nothing promotes and announces like service (Mark 10:44-45). No matter how rich you are in special abilities, it is service that will reveal you to people. David was already anointed to be the king, but announcing himself to be anointed King will be suicidal (1 Samuel 16:1; 13). No one knows him before; it is his willingness to serve that brought his glory out. It was his willingness to serve that brought him to the palace (1 Samuel 16:18).

   Friend, no matter your age, God can still manifest His glory in your life if you will humble yourself to allow God to introduce you through service. Think of something you can do to bless others in your community, in your office, and in the family or house of God. Soon, people will get to know the rich blessing you have for your world. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me the courage to serve you not withstanding 

“SERVICE IS THE SHORTEST ROUTE TO YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT”

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.

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.
