  JOYFUL MAN  Ephesians 5:25-33 Devotional:- “So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself” (V. 28) NKJV Love is the summary of the great responsibility God has given to a man who wants to be happy in his home. Love is the attitude of the matured. Loving does not mean that all will be well. Loving your spouse is the act of molding and raising her for the best. That is why love in the family either to the spouse or the children should be with positive education (Ephesians 4:13-15). But love interprets so many things. Love is sacrificing time, money and self. It is creating time, money and self to help and build a united and happy home. Where there is love, there will be honour, which is the major weapon to win your wife (1 Peter 3:7). Not as becoming their subject, but understanding her nature and putting her where she belongs in your heart. A man who wants to be happy should also respect his wife and recognize her importanc...

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”

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.

FRUITFULNESS

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.
