  FACTORS OF GROWTH Deuteronomy 8:1-10 Devotional:- “So He humble you, allow you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your father’s know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord” (V. 3)   Spiritual growth is the process of replacing lives with the truth (John 17:17). To become like Jesus we must fill our lives with his word. (2 Timothy 3:17). The word of God is powerful, so when God speak things change. To be a healthy disciple of Jesus you must feed on the word of God. This is what it mean to abide in Christ and Christ in you. This is by remaining in the word of God and obeying the word. To abide in God’s word you must accept the authority of the word of God (John 8:31). In other words the Bible must become the standard of your life. You must make the word of God the compass for your life. The word must become the counsel you listen to for wise decision ...

DO BUSINESS TILL I COME

DO BUSINESS TILL I COME               

Luke 19:11-27
Devotional Verse:-“So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come.'”  (Vs. 13)

    To a citizen of the kingdom of God, doing business is not a suggestion but a commandment. Any child of God who is not doing business is therefore disobeying God. It is a sin that can send him to hell. What is the business God wants us to do? It is trading with what He has given us to bring profit into His kingdom for our promotion.
 
    God has given every one of us something to trade with. Your spiritual gifts, passion, special abilities, personalities and experiences. Your family or financial experiences and your testimonies are all instruments of trade for God. You can earn greatness in life from all these. This is by solving others problems with your abilities. You have no reason to be poor as a child of God. Giving excuses of not having a job is irrelevant in the kingdom of God. It is called wickedness and laziness (Matthew 25:24-30). Jobs are created to give people income and meet their needs. 
 
    Friend, you have a money machine inside of you. Don't carry it around complaining. Just sit back and think (Luke 14:28). Your profit is to draw others to the kingdom of God. Your profit is to solve problems of people around you. Your profit is to make good income so that you can be a blessing to your family as well as God’s kingdom. Stop being careless in the way you go about your life. God is a business man and has made you to do business (Luke 2:49). Be creative, innovative and profit-oriented, especially for His glory and your reward will be eternal. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to succeed in my business

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.
