PRETENDING

  PRETENDING Proverbs 13:1-10 Devotional:- “There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches” (v.7) NKJV One other instrument of the devil to steal people’s joy is to fill their hearts with pretence. To pretend is to behave or talk like, or put yourself in a status, that you are not. It is to use what you don’t have to impress people who do not like you. It is to give people a false impression about you. This always results in a show of shame and sorrow. In the scripture we read today, there is the picture of a poor man who pretended to be rich. Who is he deceiving? Today you will see some people borrowing to spray at a party. Some will arrive at a beer parlour and ask everybody to be served, while at home, there is no food, and children's school fees are yet to be paid. Some are known to be very good outside to their secretaries, receptionists and the like, while at home they don’t have any credibility (Proverbs 12:9, Job 2...

FAITHFULNESS

FAITHFULNESS       

Matthew 24:45-51
Devotional Verse: -"Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season” (V.45)



   As steward of Christ, it is required that we are faithful in all our services (1 Corinthians 4:1-2). In rendering a service to God, faithfulness to God is not replaceable. Unfaithfulness is considered an act of wickedness in the word of God. That is why each of us must understand what it is to be faithful. To be faithful is to remain firm in your belief in someone. It is to have unwavering commitment to your assignment with a person or an organization.
 
   The word of God described faithful servants to be the one that his master has committed a task to his hand and he will remain committed to the work. The reason it will be possible to remain committed to serve to the end is because, you believe in the success of the task. It is because you can see the future result of the work. Faithful servants always stay strong to complete their work, fulfill their responsibilities, keep their promises and stay committed to the end. They are trust worthy and dependable. 
 
   Friend, it is important you develop the attitude of faithfulness in your service to God either in the house of the Lord or in your office. Remember that, only the faithful servants will be rewarded and be promoted (Matthew 25:21). God watches our faithfulness to qualify us for true riches (Luke 16:11-12). God also check our faithfulness to service as what qualifies us for our own blessing. Always put in your best to be faithful in all you do. You should be doing service as if it is your thing. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me a faithful heart in service

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 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.
