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.

LOVING THE KING
1 John 4:12-21 Devotional: “And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him” (V. 16)
Anyone who want to be part of the kingdom of God must be willing to love the king of the kingdom. Those who do not love the king cannot have the best of the kingdom. The foundation on which the kingdom of God is built is love. That is why it become so important for all in the kingdom to build in the foundation of love. This is so important because God is love (1 John 4:7-8)
To love Jesus who is the King, you must be willing to accept Him as your Lord and savior. This is because He has shed His precious blood to redeem your soul (Revelation 5:9). To love Him you must be willing to obey His instructions (John 14:15). To love Him you must love other people also (1 John 4:20). To love Him you must love His word (Psalms 119:97-99). To love Him you will love to spend time with Him in worship and prayers daily (Job 22:21). To love Him you will love to serve Him (Job 36:11). To love Him you must be a giver and be willing to share His good news with others (John 21:15-19).
Friend, this is what it takes to have the best of the kingdom of God. This will be possible by the help of the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). And the king will bless you. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, let the Holy Spirit help me to love the Lord indeed
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.
