  APPRECIATION Psalm 92:1-10 Devotional:- “It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High” (v.1) NKJV It is in the habit of most people that when they are expecting something from God, they will do everything possible to gain His favour. But as soon as it is done, that thing loses value to them. So, people only value what they don’t have. This sometimes does not make us have a heart of gratitude to God. We will always promise to give thanks, but as soon as we receive our expectations, some will forget to give thanks. Many do not know that the opportunity or privilege that is available to them is what qualifies them for what they are expecting. But they look down on this because their expectations have not been met. Your health is more important than travelling abroad. The breath of life you enjoy is far more valuable than the car or job you are expecting. In fact, this qualifies you for those things. Friend, no matter what God has done for you,...

PUT IN YOUR BEST

PUT IN YOUR BEST               

Ecclesiastes 9:5-12
Devotional Verse:-“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going” (V. 10)


   Service does not become profitable to man until he put in his best. Because of the humble nature of service in most time, one is not encouraged. That is why many easily give up in service. But everyone who had the best through service ignored the ridicule and put in their best.
 
   The word of God says, whatever your hand find doing, do it with all your might. This means with all your heart. This is putting in your best with passion. Most people don't even appreciate other people's service, not to talk of encouraging what you are doing. Yet, God expect us to put in our best in service. This is by making ourselves available in the place of service (2 Timothy 2:4). And just been available carrying out your assignment with the whole of your heart. This is by serving joyfully with passion as you are instructed. Whatever you passionately do, you will be very effective in it (Deuteronomy 28:47-48).
 
   Putting in your best demands that you serve with your mind along i.e. thinking of a better way to do what you are doing in a cheaper and easier way. Be part of those who motivate others by your example. See to it that your services are impacting others with grace and edifying others. Ultimately make sure that God is pleased with you and your services are reward-able. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, l need your grace to stand strong in service
 
“YOU ONLY GET THE BEST AS YOU PUT IN YOUR BEST”

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.
