  MADE FOR DOMINION  Genesis 1:26-31 Devotional:- “Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (v.28) NKJV   The major purpose of creating man was to dominate over the earth. This is because the purpose of a product is in the assignment given to it to carry out. The reason God wanted us to dominate the earth was to make us represent Him here and to prevent the enemy from ruling the earth. So, our dominion was delegated. That is why it demands clear knowledge to operate in it.   It is clear in the scripture, God’s manual of man, that we are created to have dominion. That is, to take over, take control and take charge of all on the earth. A producer is only successful when the product serves the purpose of production. When authority is delegated to a man, it often comes with a measu...

MADE FOR SERVICE        

Genesis 1:26-31
Devotional Verse: -“Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."”(V. 26)



    The purpose of the creation of man is that man may serve God. At creation, God made known His intention for the creation of man. This intention is that man may serve Him (Genesis 1:26). God has put all things in man to be able of serve Him. This is because the vision of God at creation was to form a physical world. That is why He needs a creature with physical body to be His vessel of service on earth.

    God said from the very beginning, before man was made that man is made to take charge of earth on His behalf. This scripture already spelt out the purpose of the creation of man. The word of God says; let them have dominion over all that I have made. That is why we are made steward to stand in for God. After the fall of man, the devil has access to the life of man and men became servants of the devil.

   To serve God is to represent God wherever we are by the influence of the spirit of God on our lives. We are made to serve the interest of God and not that of the devil or ourselves. Today, many have become the servants of the devil and are serving his interest through multiple devices. To serve God is to allow the spirit of God to influence us in carrying out His assignment on earth (Ephesians 2:10). The time has come for you to identify your place in the service of God. Then God’s blessing for your life shall be released. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, guide me to my place in your service 

“MAN IS WIRED TO SERVE THE LORD”

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.

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...
