  KNOW YOURSELF 1 Timothy 4:4-16 Devotional:- “Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers” (V. 16) NIV There is a need for you to know that one of the most useful and productive adventures you can embark on is the study of yourself. This is because your uniqueness in nature goes a long way to determine your strength and your ability to fulfil your destiny. Your purpose of existence is embedded in your uniqueness. You will be helping yourself to study who you are. Three major things you have to know are your nature, your strength and your weakness. This will help you develop your weaknesses to enjoy a more balanced life. To develop your weakness, you will need to read or hear messages about a particular aspect of life. Your ability to manage yourself determines your ability to manage others. You can take a good study of yourself through observation and examination. You need to observe your temperament and ...

LOVING AND GIVING               

John 3:13-21
Devotional Verse:- “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (Vs.16)

    Every child of God is saved from the Kingdom of the devil to the Kingdom of God (Col. 1:13). Understanding this puts you at an advantage over the devices of the devil.  Very many people in church today are not aware of this truth. This is the truth that sets you free (John 8:32). This is also the reason you need to give yourself to studying the word of God so as to understand the nature of the kingdom of God.
 
    The Kingdom of God is a kingdom characterized by loving and giving. God Himself is love personified (1 John 4:7-8). That is why everyone who is born of Him lives in the nature of love (1 Cor. 13:1-13). God’s evidence of love is giving. That is why our true love is demonstrated in giving. God’s kingdom is a kingdom of giving and receiving. Sowing and reaping.
 
    For you to enjoy the blessing of God, you must commit yourself to giving in obedience to God’s word. Paying your tithes (10% of all your income) and offerings, taking care of your parents and family, men of God, the poor, giving towards the kingdom project, etc. enlist you among the blessed of the Lord. These are what qualifies you for your harvest. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me the heart of a giver
 
“YOU CAN GIVE WITHOUT LOVING BUT YOU CANNOT LOVE WITHOUT GIVING”

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.
