SUCCESS YOUR PURPOSE 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Devotional:- “And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing” (V. 8) NLT When a person turns to the Lord, invite Jesus to his/her life, and surrender to Jesus as Lord and saviour, then he/she sincerely becomes a Christian. This is the state many in the church has not attained. Many struggle to surrender their lives to the Lord because they are afraid of failure, not able to trust God to give them success, and their love for the things of this world (1 John 2:15-17). When you sincerely surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your view of success cannot but change. Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7). When you start to live for God, your definition of success will change from materials to purpose. Liv...

FULFILLMENT

FULFILLMENT         

2 Timothy 4:1-8
Devotional Verse:-“For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand” (V. 6)



    
    Service is allowing God to use you to fulfill His plan on earth. The truth is that if man is not allowing God to use him, the enemy will keep using him (Deuteronomy 28:46-47). People need to yield to God for God to use them, but nobody really need to yield to the devil, he goes about seeking whom he may devour (John 10:10). God made man to serve His purpose and establish His will on earth. All that God need to package in man to fulfill this calling is in man. Your fulfillment is only in serving the Lord.

   Paul the Apostle said, I am already being poured out as a drink offering. This is a statement of fulfillment. It simply means, all that God had put in me to deliver to the world has been delivered. This is truly a sense of fulfillment. It is in service of the Lord that a man can be used by the Lord to fulfill his destiny. To fulfill a destiny; is to have written all the books you are to write, and carry out all the vision you are to carry out etc.

  Friend, the greatest joy of your life is in serving the Lord. Humble yourself to be part of those who serve the Lord. This can happen in the house or in the office, in the community or in the house of the Lord. Be willing to use all that the Lord has given you to solve problems where you are. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be plugged to my place of fulfillment on earth.

“ONLY YOUR MAKER CAN USE YOU TO BE FULFILLED”

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.
