PEACE

  PEACE Proverbs 12:15-25 Devotional:- “Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, But counselors of peace have joy” (v.20) NKJV Two virtues often work together, and they are hardly separable; they are peace and joy. You cannot have one without the other. The moment one of them is with you, it will draw the second. This is because they are both products of God’s presence. Wherever the kingdom of God is established either in the house or office, surely peace and joy of the Lord will be present there (Galatians 5:22, Romans 14:17). The scripture we read today said there shall be joy for those who promote peace. Jesus says Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God (Matthew 5:9). And you know that God dwell in the heart of His children (I Corinthians 3:16). You also know that God’s presence commands joy (Psalms 16:11). When you receive God’s grace for joy, peace also follows you. A sorrowful man is a dangerous man. Sorrow promotes violence in the h...

SELF DISCOVERY       

John 1:19-28
Devotional Verse:-“He said: “I am 'The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Make straight the way of the Lord," ‘as the prophet Isaiah said." (V. 23)



    One of the beauties of serving the Lord is that, it will make you discover who you are and who you are made to be or what you are made to do. When people don't know who they are, they run about in life trying to be like another person. Those who live like others may never be the original of themselves but a photocopy of another. 

    John the Baptist was asked to declare his self-identity and he said; "I am the voice of the one crying in the wilderness. The question is that, have you discovered who you are? Lack of self-identity will make a man to struggle in life, running on another man's track. The word of God says, we will run on our track and not break rank (Joel 2:7). In the course of serving the Lord, you stand the chance of discovering what you are good at doing and what you are made to do. Service helps you to know what you are passionate about and what you are not.

    It is in the course of service that we get to know the talents and gifts that God have planted in us. This helps us to discover our value or what we can exchange for value in life. Without service, man will be so confused about his identity and the devil will give him a life time assignment against the Lord. Friend, you are made by God for God and not for the devil (Isaiah 43:21). Humble yourself to serve in the house of God, in your office and your destiny shall be discovered. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be willing to serve your kingdom

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.
