HOW SERVANTS THINK

  HOW SERVANTS THINK Numbers 14:11-25 Devotional:- “But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it” (V. 24).   To be a servant requires complete mental shift and change in attitude. Before God, attitude count more than achievement (2 Chronicles 25:2). So, when we look at how real servants think, they think more about others than themselves. Humility is not thinking less of ourselves but thinking of ourselves less (Philippians 2:4). Jesus takes the form of a servant (Philippians 2:7). We can measure our servant’s heart by how we respond when others treat us as servants. Real servants think like a steward and not owner. They keep in mind that God owns it all.  To become a real servant you’ve got to settle the issue of money in your life (Luke 16:13). Please understand that money has a great potential to replace God in our heart. When Jesus is your master...

THE FATHER

THE FATHER     

Luke 11:1-8
Read:- “So He said to them, "When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven” (V. 2)


   One of the reasons most people don’t understand the kingdom of God is because they do not see God as a father. Jesus came to connect us to God as our father. The reason for this is because they consider God to their earthly father who does not mostly operate by fatherly principles. The reason some can’t take God as a father indeed is because they feel He does not care for them (1 Peter 5:7). They feel, they pray and He does not answer. That is why so many people silently feel disappointed in God (Luke 11:5-8).
 
   The truth is that, there is no father like God. But we should know that His ways are different from our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). When we think He does not answer us, He has given us the best for that season (Luke 11:11-13). He can see beyond what we can see. He knows far more than we know (Romans 11:33). Often time, when we think He is doing badly, He is actually doing well, but because we can’t see much, we blame Him. We are often limited by this physical body to see many things.
 
   Friend, take God as a true father from now because there is no one who can father like Him. When you start to figure Him as your father indeed, then you start to enjoy His fatherly care. (1 Peter 5:7). Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, make me a testimony of your fatherly care.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). 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

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.
