That is why you will always need to apply the wisdom of seeking counsel from others in the areas you feel they know better than you do.   The scripture said, “Where there is no counsellor, the people fall” .

STEWARDS        

1 Corinthians 4:1-7

Devotional Verse: -“Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God” (V. 1)


   
   To be effective in our service to God, we must grow to know that we are stewards. The word steward is used in the word of God to describe Christians. A steward is the one entrusted with his master’s good. That is why the Bible says, we shall give account on the judgment day (2 Corinthians 5:10). The word of God says, all that we have are given and entrusted to us by God (John 3:27).
 
   The word of God says, we are to be considered as servants and stewards of Christ. That is why each of us should be conscious and careful of how we use what God has entrusted into our care. Your body, your gifts and talents, your family, your spouse, your children, your energy, your resources and wealth, all belongs to the Lord (1 Corinthians 4:7). That is why you must settle the issue of money, if you will be a true servant of God (Matthew 6:24).
 
   To be a true servant of God, you have to choose between serving money or ministry. God will test you to give out many times. That is why your motive must not be money. If not, you cannot serve God. Money has the tendency to replace God in the heart of people. When Jesus is your master, money serves you, but when money becomes your master, you become its slave. It is not wrong to make money, but true servant of God uses it to obey the Lord by using it to bless God’s kingdom. Your motive to get it should be to make you a blessing. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, help me not to fail you in the use of what you have given me
 
“WHAT YOU HAVE IS TRUSTED TO YOUR HAND FOR THE PURPOSE OF SERVICE, YOU WILL GIVE ACCOUNT”

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.

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...
