  DESIGNED TO SERVE GOD Psalm 139:13-18 Devotional:- “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!” (V. 16 NLT)   God designed and formed you to fit into what He wants you to do to serve Him. The intended function determines the form of a building, so also your life. You are the way you are because you were made for specific ministry (Ephesians 2:10) Our scripture today simply means nothing that happens in your life is insignificant. God will never waste any ability unless He intend to use it for His glory (1 Peter 2:9) Before God will give you any assignment, He must have packaged you for it. This packaging is what we call shape (Jeremiah 1:5). Let us look at the meaning of each letter in your shape. The ‘S’ represents Spiritual gifts. These are special God-empowered abilities for serving Him, giving only to believers (1 Cor. 2:14). These gift cannot be bought because they are given by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:11). We are to use them to benefit on...

PERSONALITY     

Matthew 16:13-20
Devotional Verse:- “Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."” (V. 16)



   When you observe people, you will discover that people look unique in the way they behave. This is because God made all the people on earth to be uniquely different. A research said, only 10 out of 2.4 billion can look closely like you. This simply means you are uniquely made. Your personality is just so uniquely different. Understanding this will make you identify the areas you can best serve.

   We saw among the disciples of Jesus the personality trait of Peter. He will always be the first to talk. This must be that he has a strong talking personality. We can see this displayed in various places in the scripture (Luke 9:33; Matthew 16:21-23; John 21:2-3). Everyone is made with different personalities and this point to where we can best serve. There are four major personality traits you need to know. The first of them is sanguine, like Peter. They enjoy talking and creating humor. The second is choleric. They are called natural leader. They love to dictate what others in the group will do and impose their ideas sometimes. The third is phlegmatic. They love to keep to themselves and think deep over matters. The forth is melancholy. They love to work and not easily fed up working.

   Each person may have two or more of such traits manifesting in them; One from the father and the other from the mother. So, discover your major and minor personality. This will help you to know where you can best serve. This will also help you in knowing the reason people behave the way they do. Give yourself to learning more about people's personality and you will be able to understand with people, in relationship or in team work. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, reveal my personality to me

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.
