A CHOSEN PEOPLE

A CHOSEN PEOPLE Deuteronomy 7:4-11 Devotional:- “…the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth…” (V.6)      The basic challenge we are facing that does not make us understand our new position in Christ is that of misunderstanding how we become a child of God. Because we do not understand what it takes, many don’t even value it. So they easily throw it off their mind. Many today are not holding on to their faith and are easily discouraged simply because they lack understanding of the richness of their choice. Some also put up some pride and some show up because they think they were qualified.

GIFTS AND TALENTS

GIFTS AND TALENTS       

Matthew 25:14-30
Devotional Verse: -“And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey” (V. 15)



   Everyone made by the Lord is packaged with talents. It is not easy to find someone with one talent. Most people are multi-talented. Talents and gifts are what God has built in us to become our focus of passion. The talents are inborn with us and the gifts came with the Holy Spirit that God gave to us as believers (Acts 2:38).

   Jesus gave a parable about a man who wanted to travel to a far country. He then gave talents to His servants expecting them to trade with it (Luke 19:13). One was given five talents, another two and the last, one talent. The master expects them to know what to do with it; the same with each of us today. One of them buried his own talent because he felt the master did not like him by given him one. Yet, the master knew their different abilities (Matthew 25:15). God expects you to serve Him with your gifts and talents. But you must be careful to identify yours.

   To identify your gifts and talents becomes easy when you can get involved in the service of God. It becomes an opportunity to discover what you are good at doing. Most great musicians in our world discover their gifts as they join to sing in the Choir. Most great teachers of the word of God started to know that they can do it as they either join children teachers or Sunday school teachers in their church. Find a place of interest to serve the Lord. And you will become great in life. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to burry my talents.

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.

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.

THE GRACIOUS

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.
