  GREAT HOME John 14:1-6 Devotional:- “In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you” (V. 2) NKJV At creation, God created man into a paradise made for his eternal pleasure. God did not intend that the human race would ever live in suffering. Man was made to enjoy the best of mental exertion for a beautiful outfit. Man was to live forever in the paradise of God. But the devil cunningly deceived man, which made God chase man out of the paradise. Since then, the life of man has been terrible and most miserable. That is why when people have everything they need in this world, they will still discover that they are not fully satisfy. There is no place we can live that will fully satisfy us. This is a factor and the fact that something in us is still looking for something somewhere better than this world. In search of this, some people try to go to the moon and other planets. But in the scripture we read today, Jesus ...

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.
