GREATNESS

GREATNESS              

Read: Mark 10:35-45
Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant (Vs. 43).


    In the kingdom of the world, greatness is achieved by acquiring certain volume of wealth or having affluence for influence. In our political world today, if anyone does not have affluence, it will not be easy for him or her to have influence to win an election.
 
    Jesus taught the disciples about the way to greatness in the kingdom of God. That way is by our service. That is, humbling oneself to serve others. Service is taking a low place so as to use your talent to bless others. Service is laboring to make others become what God wants them to be by the grace of God which He has given you. Service is using your time and energy to raise others.
 
    When people serve, they work for God either in the house, office or in the house of the Lord. As they serve, they are investing their seeds for great harvest. Service is using your opportunity to enhance the lifting of others. As you serve, God will remember you in the shortest of time. Anytime God is looking for people to lift up, He always looks for people in service (1 Samuel 16:1,11). Service becomes rewardable when it is unto the Lord and not unto man, money or materials (Ephesians 6:7). Find a place to serve both in the church office and in your community. As you do that, soon your lifting will come. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, I receive the grace to be humble and to serve.
 
“IF YOU ARE TOO BIG TO SERVE, THEN YOU ARE TOO BIG TO BE SERVED”

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.

  DOMINION   Psalms 8:1-9 Devotional:- “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV      At creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6; Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God (Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to be in charge of all creation.
