  JOYFUL COMPANION  Luke 1:37-45 Devotional:- “For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy” (v.44) NKJV We must know that sooner or later, we will always look like the people we are moving with. God’s word says, he that walks with the wise shall be wise and the companion of fools shall be destroyed (Proverbs 13:20). This means that what we gain from the surroundings of our associates has a very strong influence upon our life. If a man walks with people who don’t know or appreciate joy, he may not also experience joy. We read about the visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Since two of them carry unique children of divine significance, they both have the Spirit of God in them. This brings about a joyful effect. As soon as Elizabeth heard the voice of Mary, the baby leaped for joy. You therefore need to understand that the richest place you need to seek to be is where God’s children are gathe...

PURPOSE OF SERVICE

PURPOSE OF SERVICE      

Acts 13:26-41
Devotional Verse:-"For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption” (V. 36)



   God, who made man, made him to serve Him to fulfilling His plan. God made and packaged man to be able to influence him to carry out His agenda on earth. Man is made to serve God to fulfill the plan of God and to fulfill his destiny and his part in the divine agenda.


   The word of God told us of the example of David who serve God in his generation. This is what is expected of us. We are to serve God by serving our generation. There lies our reward both here and in eternity. Man is made to be influenced, inspired and move to action by the Spirit of God (Job 32:8; 2 Peter 1:21). The purpose of service is to let God use us to solve problems. Every great event witnessed on earth is by the move and the inspiration of the spirit. But man today is ignorantly submitting to the move of the spirit of the devil (Romans 1:28). That is why all kinds of terrible thing are heard in the world today.

   Friend, you need to be conscious of your decision to serve the Lord and let Him alone use you for the good of the world. Many today have gone serving the devil in the name of money (1 Timothy 6:10). Yes, we all need money but not to make it in a wicked way. It will take the influence of an evil spirit for a man to have an idea to kill or destroy others to make money (John 10:10). In serving the Lord we will become a comfort and joy to each other. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, make me a vessel of solution to my world

“SERVICE TO THE LORD WILL BRING THE WORLD TO COMFORT”

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.

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.
