  DON’T BLAME GOD James 1:12-20 Devotional:- “And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else” (V. 13) NLT Today, there is so much confusion the enemy places in the heart of men to make them feel that God hate them. So, when people are under the pressure of the flesh to sin, they say “God is tempting me”. When people are weak, they are going to face temptation through their flesh. It wil be wrong to say God is tempting you with sickness or troubles. Yes, God knows about it but He only allows it when we have been warned repeatedly and we refuse to change. He disciplines, but it is necessary for us to know that God is not the author of evil, that is the work of the devil (Hebrews 12:6; Matthew 4:24).  There is a difference between a test and temptation. To test means to examine or observe if someone is capable of doing something. To tempt means to entice or lure someone into doing some...

AVAILABILITY            

2 Timothy 2:3-13
Devotional Verse -“No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier” (V. 4)


   In our service to God either in our kingdom service or in the office, effectiveness demands our availability. It is important you know that availability preceded ability. No matter how able a man is, if he is not available, someone else will have to do the job. So, making yourself available is so vital to your effectiveness in the service of God.
 
   The word of God says, no one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the civilian affairs that will be able to please the one that employs him as a soldier. This simply means, there is need to focus on our services to God. Whichever area you are serving the Lord, be effectively available. So many want to serve but they don't have time. The truth is that, there will always be time for things of value to us. That is why you must create time, out of no time to serve your God. Make it of utmost priority (Matthew 6:33). That is why the Bible expect us to love God above all things (Luke 14:26-27).
 
   If you only serve when it is convenient for you, then you are not a real servant. You must do your best to be available for God whenever He calls for your service even if it is inconvenient. Remember, humility is when you can drop your plan to fulfill His assignment. When God can interrupt your time and schedule, that is when He is truly your Lord. See your service to God as an opportunity and not obligation. Then your service will be reward-able. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me the heart of a true servant
 
“AVAILABILITY SUPERSEDES ABILITY”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
