  A BELOVED Romans 9:23-26  Devotional:- “I will call them my people who are not my people, and her beloved who was not beloved.” (V. 25) When a man lacks true lovers around him, he is bound to go through some frustrating experiences and discouragement. During the period of challenges, you will know that even those who say they love you are rather pretenders who come around you only for what they will get from you. When a man is going through a trying situation, people you expect to come around and show some love and level of understanding sometimes desert him. If this is what is happening to you at the moment, I need to bring to your awareness that God truly loves you. He calls you his beloved. God has a special love for you. He fully demonstrated this by allowing His son to die on the cross for your sake (John 10:11). Do you know that this is not ordinary? He really loves you. He is planning for you more than you can ever imagine? Do you know that all that God is doing both ...

2 Corinthians 1:1-11
Devotional Verse:- “For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ” (V. 5)



   Part of the instruments of service to God in our lives is our experiences of life. It is not just for fun that God allows you to go through all you have gone through. He is making you to go through all you are going through because He wants to use you to help others out of their troubles. You really cannot help people out of what you have not gone through before.

   We can see in the word of God multitude of different experiences passed through by Apostle Paul and his team. All of these cumulate to the richness in the writings of Apostle Paul and his team. The same is applicable to you too. Your destiny in God demands that you go through some hard times. God allow them to create a mode for your purpose of service to your world (Hebrews 5:8). Each of your experiences in your family and in your marriage; your experiences in your school and where you work, your experiences in your walk with God and in the church, your experiences in your businesses. Your pains, problems, hurts, thorns and trials. They are what makes you rich in been a blessing to others.

   Friend, stop getting embitter at God because of your experiences in life. Don't turn negative either (Hebrews 12:5-11). Don't grow a bitter heart, it only produces a bitter life (Hebrews 12:15). It's important you see that the plan of God for you is good and not evil (Jeremiah 29:11). Look at the lessons you have learnt and use them to help others out and you shall be a blessing to your generation. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, reveal your blessings to me in my pain.

IF LIFE NOT IS PAINFUL, IT WILL NOT BE GAINFUL”

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.
