  GIFT AND GRACE Romans 12:3-8 Devotional:- “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith”(V. 6) NIV   One of the means through which we can demonstrate our love to others is by using the grace and the gifts that are in our lives. As a child of God, you are privileged to enjoy two levels of gifts. The first are the talents and gifts. The second are the gifts of the Holy Spirit. There is no one who is not talented in one area or the other. It may be to cook, sing, design, draw or write. It could also be in the area of sport or decoration. But as a child of God, there is another dimension of gifts in your life given by the Holy Spirit. These are gifts of prophecy, healing, knowledge, wisdom, working of miracles, discernment of spirit, diverse tongues or interpretation of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:6-10). If you don’t know that you have any of this gift, it is because you have not care...

LIVING ABOVE CONFUSION

LIVING ABOVE CONFUSION             

James 3:13-18
Devotional Verse:-“For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there”  (Vs.16)


    The kingdom of God is not a kingdom of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). One of the greatest troubles in the life of people today is confusion. The goal of confusion is to cripple the mind of a man, prevent him from achieving the will of God for his life and establish hypertension in him.
 
    Confusion is a product of conflicting information accessing the minds of men. Such information usually makes us uncertain about the possibility of our desires. In confusion, one is left with the fear of failure. One is left with the inability to place priority and make decisions. The original source of confusion is the devil.
The word of God says, where there is envy and self seeking, there will be confusion. This happens when a someone is no longer patient to observe the divine order or not patience to allow the will of God to be done. 
 
To live above confusion, we must always be focused on the covenant promises of God. We must always be willing to let the will of God be done and not our selfish ambitions. Jesus was almost confused until He said: "Your will be done" (Luke 22:42, Hebrews 12:2). Always acknowledge God to know His will (Proverbs 3:5-6). Pray for His will to be done in your life always. Pray always in the Spirit to receive His direction for your life and you will live above confusion. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, I decree my victory over the spirit of confusion in Jesus' name
 
“THE CURE FOR CONFUSION IS SURRENDER”

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.
