  NEVER BREAK YOU 1 Corinthians 10:6-13  Devotional:- “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it“ (V. 13) NKJV When some people go through challenges today, it looks as if the end has come. And sometimes we think, it is going to be forever. But God’s love is revealed to us even in our challenges. His help and strength are always available to us, even in our most difficult situations. He has promised never to leave us alone. He is right there with you in your challenges. And that is why you cannot be swallowed nor destroyed, even by any situation you may be facing right now. The scripture we read today says, God will not watch us fall into any pit of trouble above what we can come out from. That means, He is looking at you in that situation, He knows your shame. But He also knows that...

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.

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.
