SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING

SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING  Daniel 5:1-11 Devotional:- “There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God. And in the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and King Nebuchadnezzar your father-your father the king-made him chief of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers” (V. 11) NKJV      The human level of exploits in life depends largely on their level of understanding. The depth of your understanding determines the size of your light in life. Understanding is what makes people outstanding. If you can't dig deep, you can’t grow tall. It is as you can take root downward, that you can bear fruits upward. Failure is mostly a result of a lack of understanding (Hosea 4:6). People of understanding are of peaceful progress. Since they can dig deep to know the right thing in life they can keep flying.

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”

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.

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.

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.
