  FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD Romans 5:1-11 Devotional:- “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (V. 10)  As a kingdom citizen please known that God wants to be your best friend. This is because intimacy is part of your act of worship. It is true that God is our maker and redeemer yet he wants to be our friend. Remember we were made to live continually in God’s presence but it is sin that makes us loose that (Gen 3, Roman 3:23)  In our scripture for today we saw that it was grace through the sacrifice of the cross that gives us access to friendship with God (2 Corinthians 5:18). Our friendship with God does not mean casual acquaintance but close and trusted relationships just like the best man in a wedding. In the palace the servant must keep their distance from the king but there are some people in circle of intimate and trusted friends with the king. They enjoy free an...

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.

COURAGE

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.
