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.

LIFE IN THE KINGDOM
Mark 10:13-16 Read: “Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it” (V. 15)
Every kingdom has its own life style. The way they live in this country is different from the way they live in other countries. In some countries, cars are made with the steering by the right side, in others, left sides. In some countries you have to drive on the left side and in others on the right. To enjoy your stay in any land, you must learn and abide by the life style or culture of the land.
In the kingdom of God, Jesus said you cannot be part except you are willing to live like a child. It’s actually wrong to expect an adult to behave like a child, but this is right in God’s kingdom. There are many things that we need to unlearn to be a part of God’s kingdom.
A child depends on the parents, so we have to depend on God (Proverbs 3:5-6). A child fears the parent, so we have to fear God (Psalm 25:12-13). A child easily forgive, so we have to (Matthew 6:14-15). A child believes what the parent tells him, so we must believe the word of God. (John 1:12). A child obeys the parents and we need to learn to easily obey the Lord. Using your brain to sought out your life without God will always lead to frustration (Proverbs 3:5), Embrace His ways and wisdom and your life will take a shape of peace and prosperity. Peace.
Prayer: Lord, teach me your way by the Holy Spirit
“YOU CAN GRADUATE FROM A CHILD TO A SON OF GOD BUT NOT TO AN UNCLE”.
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.
