YOU ARE FROM GOD

  YOU ARE FROM GOD Colossians 1:9-18 Devotional:- “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him” (V. 16) One of the greatest troubles of human life is people living out of their purpose. Until you find your purpose and fit into it, life will continue to be a struggle. Locating the meaning of human life is one of the greatest adventures someone can embark on. This is because when the purpose of a thing is not known abuse is inevitable. That is why the human life is so abused today.  As God’s kingdom citizens, finding the purpose of life and the meaning of life becomes easier when we source for it from the word of God. The best purpose of a product is known by the maker. To locate our purpose on earth, we must begin with our maker. The word of God says God made the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1).

INTEREST OF OTHERS

INTEREST OF OTHERS           

Philippians 2:1-4
Devotional Verse: -“Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others” (V. 4)


   As servants of God, it is important we cultivate the attitude of thinking of others first. It is normal for every man to want to think of himself more. This is what we call the good human life. But true servants put the interest of others at heart. Remember, God consider our motive and intention than our action (Matthew 12:8-9).
 
   The word of God says, we should not only look out for our own interest but the interest of others. This is a sign of true humility and love. This is what is lost in the world today. But this is what Jesus meant when He says we must deny self. (Matthew 16:25). In other word, you are not full of self but you have space for others in your thinking. It is when we empty ourselves for the good of others that we truly invest in service. God hates people calling attention to themselves. This is manipulation and not ministry.
 
   Friend, it is wrong for anyone to try and use God for self-goal. True servants allow God to use them to fulfill the purpose and help others. Someone said, our level of servant-hood can be measured by how we respond when others treat us like servants (Matthew 5:41). This is how we can fulfill the purpose of God in our services and our services reward-able before God. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me a true servant’s heart for others.
 
“YOUR HEART FOR OTHERS DETERMINES YOUR HEART FOR GOD”

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

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.
