HOW REAL SERVANTS ACT

  HOW REAL SERVANTS ACT Mark 10:35-45 Devotional:- “Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant” (V. 43).   The world defines greatness in terms of power, possessions, prestige and position but God determined your greatness by how many people you serve. This is quite contrary to the world view. Jesus called Himself servant and to be like Him is to be a servant. That is why it is so important to have a servant’s heart. God often test our heart by asking us to serve even outside our shape or area of interest. Your priority area of service should be in your area of shape, but God could demand for your service wherever needed. Looking at how a servant act is important because one could serve in a church for years and not be a real servant. Real servants make themselves available to serve. If you only serve when it is convenient, then you are not a good servant (2 Timothy 2:4). Real servants pay attention to needs, always lo...

THE LEAST IN THE KINGDOM

THE LEAST IN THE KINGDOM          

Read: Luke 7:19-30
For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he” (Vs.28).

    Every citizen of the kingdom of God needs to know the value of what heaven and earth sees in us. We are a people that God has invested so much grace upon. The Old Testament saints lived in the time of the law, but Jesus brought grace and truth for the New Testament believers (John 1:17). This is a measure of God’s goodness which cannot be comprehended by human mind.
     In the New Testament, grace gives us access to all things in God that we do not deserve. Our redemption was paid for by the blood of Jesus (Revelation 5:9-10). Jesus baptized us with the Holy Spirit and the Spirit dwelt in us to help, comfort and reveal the truth of life to us (John 14:26). We are granted access by the blood which is the life of Christ, into the mysteries of the kingdom (Mark 4:11). The mystery is the truth of the word of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. When God opens the eyes of a believer to see, it becomes possible for him to assess the power of God (Daniel 11:32).
 
    Friend, this is one of the greatest assets we have in God. You can’t know the truth about your situation and still be a victim (John 8:32). Give yourself to seeking the truth by the help of the Holy Spirit and you shall be greater than the forces of life.
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to walk in the true value of Christ.
 
“ACCESS TO THE TRUTH BY THE SPIRIT WILL ENTHRONE AND ORDAIN YOU ABOVE TROUBLES”

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.
