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.

MADE FOR SERVICE

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”

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.
