  GIFT AND GRACE Romans 12:3-8 Devotional:- “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith”(V. 6) NIV   One of the means through which we can demonstrate our love to others is by using the grace and the gifts that are in our lives. As a child of God, you are privileged to enjoy two levels of gifts. The first are the talents and gifts. The second are the gifts of the Holy Spirit. There is no one who is not talented in one area or the other. It may be to cook, sing, design, draw or write. It could also be in the area of sport or decoration. But as a child of God, there is another dimension of gifts in your life given by the Holy Spirit. These are gifts of prophecy, healing, knowledge, wisdom, working of miracles, discernment of spirit, diverse tongues or interpretation of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:6-10). If you don’t know that you have any of this gift, it is because you have not care...

RHEMA

 RHEMA       

1 Samuel 17:31-38
Devotional: -“Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God" (V. 36) NKJV


   Rhema is the spoken word of God. It generates tremendous energy of the Spirit; so much that God through it creates the heavens and the earth (John 1:1-3, Hebrews 11:3). The spoken word of God is the creative force of God. All children of God can access it for the solution of all form of challenges. 
 
   Please know that the written word of God (Logos) is different from the spoken word of God (Rhema). In bracket are the Hebrew names of those different words. The written word can do nothing (John 6:63, 2 Corinthians 3:6). Carrying the Bible or mere quoting it does not result to anything. Only the spoken word can manifests the energy of the spirit.
 
   To get the spoken word that produces the energy of the Spirit, we have to meditate on the written word ‘Logos’ (Psalms 119:97-100; Joshua 1:8; Psalms 1:1-3). We get the spoken words of God as we read or listen to men who are inspired by the Holy Spirit (2Chronicles 20:10-17)
 
   We get the spoken word of God as we learn to acknowledge the Holy Spirit for direction and our ears of the Spirit is trained to hear God (Romans 3:5-6). Please, know that in any given situation, the spoken word of God will energize you and make you strong to overcome (Ezekiel 2:2). Most of the miracles in the scripture came after the word was spoken. Peace.
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me your word for the manifestation of your power in my life.
 
“WHERE THE WORD OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS POWER”

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 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.
