  DESIGNED TO SERVE GOD Psalm 139:13-18 Devotional:- “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!” (V. 16 NLT)   God designed and formed you to fit into what He wants you to do to serve Him. The intended function determines the form of a building, so also your life. You are the way you are because you were made for specific ministry (Ephesians 2:10) Our scripture today simply means nothing that happens in your life is insignificant. God will never waste any ability unless He intend to use it for His glory (1 Peter 2:9) Before God will give you any assignment, He must have packaged you for it. This packaging is what we call shape (Jeremiah 1:5). Let us look at the meaning of each letter in your shape. The ‘S’ represents Spiritual gifts. These are special God-empowered abilities for serving Him, giving only to believers (1 Cor. 2:14). These gift cannot be bought because they are given by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:11). We are to use them to benefit on...

LIVING ABOVE FEAR

LIVING ABOVE FEAR                    

Matthew 8:23-27
Devotional Verse:- “But He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm”  (Vs. 26)

    It will be completely impossible to live in the kingdom of God with the spirit of fear (Hebrews 11:6). Fear will only make the power of God at work around you to be withdrawn. The kingdom of God and the spirit of fear cannot work together (II Timothy 1:7). Today a lot of people in church are living with the spirit of fear. That is why we need to learn how to live above fear. 
    It is important for you to know that, fear is a product of the wrong and negative information you have been listening to. Remember, fear is the opposite of faith. Just like faith comes by hearing the word of God, fear comes by hearing the negative word of the devil (Romans 10:17). Faith comes from the word of truth but fear comes from half truth (John 8:44).
 
    To live above fear, we must determine who we want to listen to, the word of God, and other words (Mark 4:24). The other words come from the devil through his suggestions into our minds as we meditate on our challenges or listen to people without the knowledge of God (Psalms 1:1-3). Jesus told the disciples that fear is a product of little faith. Always study and meditate on the word of God and not on your situation. Counter every negative information against your faith with the word of God (Luke 4:4-8). Keep speaking the word of God by faith and you will be able to live above the spirit of fear. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me victory over fear always
 
“IF YOU DON’T BUILD UP IN FAITH, FEAR WILL BE A CONDITION”

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.
