  APPRECIATION Psalm 92:1-10 Devotional:- “It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High” (v.1) NKJV It is in the habit of most people that when they are expecting something from God, they will do everything possible to gain His favour. But as soon as it is done, that thing loses value to them. So, people only value what they don’t have. This sometimes does not make us have a heart of gratitude to God. We will always promise to give thanks, but as soon as we receive our expectations, some will forget to give thanks. Many do not know that the opportunity or privilege that is available to them is what qualifies them for what they are expecting. But they look down on this because their expectations have not been met. Your health is more important than travelling abroad. The breath of life you enjoy is far more valuable than the car or job you are expecting. In fact, this qualifies you for those things. Friend, no matter what God has done for you,...

THE BEST

THE BEST       

Daniel 1:8-20
Devotional:- “And in all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king examined them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers who were in all his realm” (V. 20)



   When someone has decided to serve the Lord, not flesh or sin, God will bestow on him the excelling grace. This is because, God made us to be the best in the areas of our calling. We are already custom made for greatness. All that God is seeking from us, is to be willing to serve Him.

   Daniel and his friends determined in their heart that they will not serve the devil or give themselves to the pleasure of this world. They made up their mind to live only for God. Since it is God who packaged them, He started to release the best through their lives as they serve Him where they were. When they were asked to bow to an image, they refused (Daniel 2:24-25). When the king wanted to kill all the wise men because of the king's dream, God revealed the secret to them (Daniel 2:16-19). When they were to be given strong drink, they rejected. Then God gave them wisdom and they were ten times better (Daniel 1:17-20).

   Friend, you will only be your best and live the best kind of life when you live to serve God (Daniel 6:20-22). Decide to allow God to use you as a vessel of His honour. Most people live a dishonoured life today but God will turn your life to be honourable (Hebrews 5:4). And you will be the best. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, let your grace for the best be upon my life.

“YOUR BEST CAN ONLY COME THROUGH YOUR SERVICE TO GOD”

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.
