ENVY NO ONE

  ENVY NO ONE Genesis 37:1-11  Devotional:- “And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.” (V.11) NKJV For a man to enjoy God’s love being wonderfully demonstrated to him, he must constitute a habit of not envying anyone. This is the reason why many cannot demonstrate genuine love to others. It is time you begin to understand that your value is not comparable. Envy is an emotional act people put on when they feel someone is better than them. Envy is always the mother of negative jealousy. It breeds bitterness and pushes people to commit all kinds of crimes. Some people’s reason for being armed robbers is that since they could not make it legitimately, they must go and get it by force from the hands of those who have made it. The truth is that there is no one who cannot make it. The problem with Joseph’s brother was that they did not know the truth of the word of God. As children of Abraham, all of them are already pronounced as successful in life. Josep...

GREATNESS

GREATNESS           

Mark 10:35-45
Devotional Verse:-“Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant” (V. 43)



   God who is our maker is a great God and all His works are great. He cannot make anyone that is not capable of been great. The ability of greatness is in everyone. No one can blame God for his/her life not been great. All that God need to do in making us great has been done.

  Jesus says, whoever want to become great should be the servant. The disciple seems to be clamoring for the first position, but Jesus showed them the mystery of greatness which is in service. To be great is to be of a high value in what you do. It is to be of great importance and blessing to multitude of people. Jesus was not the richest man on earth when He was physically present on earth, but He was the most needed. Though, He has ascended to heaven over 2000 years ago, we are all still in need of Him. This was not because, He was living as an Aristotle, but He was solving problems (Acts 10:38).

   Friend, many things will give you temporary greatness in this world, but service to God and to humanity will give you eternal greatness. Today, the world is celebrating Nelson Mandela day. This is not because he was giving gift to his people, but the sacrifice he made for his people. When you allow God to use you to help others at your level, you are in for greatness. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, make me a solution to my generation.

“WHEN YOU KEY INTO SERVICE, YOU ARE KEYING INTO GREATNESS”

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 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.
