  GIFT AND GRACE Romans 12:3-8 Devotional:- “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith”(V. 6) NIV   One of the means through which we can demonstrate our love to others is by using the grace and the gifts that are in our lives. As a child of God, you are privileged to enjoy two levels of gifts. The first are the talents and gifts. The second are the gifts of the Holy Spirit. There is no one who is not talented in one area or the other. It may be to cook, sing, design, draw or write. It could also be in the area of sport or decoration. But as a child of God, there is another dimension of gifts in your life given by the Holy Spirit. These are gifts of prophecy, healing, knowledge, wisdom, working of miracles, discernment of spirit, diverse tongues or interpretation of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:6-10). If you don’t know that you have any of this gift, it is because you have not care...

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”

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 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.
