SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING  Daniel 5:1-11 Devotional:- “There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God. And in the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and King Nebuchadnezzar your father-your father the king-made him chief of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers” (V. 11) NKJV      The human level of exploits in life depends largely on their level of understanding. The depth of your understanding determines the size of your light in life. Understanding is what makes people outstanding. If you can't dig deep, you can’t grow tall. It is as you can take root downward, that you can bear fruits upward. Failure is mostly a result of a lack of understanding (Hosea 4:6). People of understanding are of peaceful progress. Since they can dig deep to know the right thing in life they can keep flying.

PRIVILEGED VERSUS OBLIGATION

PRIVILEGED VERSUS OBLIGATION            

Psalms 100:1-5
Devotional Verse-“Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing” (V. 2)


  Serving the Lord demands that we don't think of our  assignments as obligations but a privilege. An obligation is a sense of duty produced by a contract or agreement before a man can be paid. A privilege is a special opportunity or special advantage that is not common to all. Good servant sees their services to God as a privilege not an obligation.

  That is why service to God demands service with gladness. Those who serve under obligation experiences stress but privileged people serve joyfully. The reason true servants will see themselves as privileged is because God’s promises and rewards for his servants are great. Jesus said “if we serve Him, God the father will honour us” (John 12:26). The word of God says, we shall be greatly rewarded (1 Corinthians 15:58). The Bible says, God shall heal us and set us free from miscarriages (Exodus 23:25).

  Beside all of these promises, we serve the Lord because He is our owner and our master. We serve Him voluntarily with gladness because He is our maker and our God (Psalms 100:3). That is why we must not serve God like an obligation so that we don't serve the enemy (Deuteronomy 28:47-48). Don't let anyone push you before you serve faithfully. And your reward shall be abundant. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always serve you with a true servant’s heart.

“ONLY SERVICE WITH A SERVANT’S HEART HAVE ETERNAL REWARD”

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.

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.

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.
