A HEART OF BLESSING Matthew 20:20-28 Devotional:- “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (V. 28) NKJV As believers, the greatest opportunity you can ever have is to be a blessing. When a life is not a blessing, it cannot be fulfilled. The truth is that you are not in this world for yourself. We came here for God and others. If not for others, you would not be needed. So you are only important when others can be affected by your life.

l Corinthians 10:6-13 Read: “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it” (v. 13)
One of the easiest ways to make us learn and grow in the wisdom of God is by God taking us through challenging seasons. During challenges, the devil will always want to make us feel that God does not love us. The Bible says, he that the father love he chastise. Because of the season of difficulties, many have turned back from the Lord and have followed the devil.
As a child of God, please understand that there is no man or woman that can love you as God does and He has the best plan for you (Jeremiah 29:11). That you are going through a trying time now, does not mean He hates you. Rather, tough times are times of trial to prove you and to train you to be strong (Deuteronomy 8:2-3, Genesis 3:22).
So, cheer up in your situation. God is working out a mathematics. The journey of Joseph was truly rough, but it was the mathematics of God to enthrone him. Accept the love of God, seek the light of the word of God, and keep decreeing the word of God in prayers. Obey the Lord’s instruction and you will always overcome every challenges of life. Surely, you will receive promotion after every trial if you stand to the end (James 1:2). Peace!
Prayer: Lord, help me to wait on you till I see my victory
“STANDING WITH THE GREATEST GOD WILL ALWAYS TURN ALL THINGS GREAT FOR YOU”
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 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.
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.
