  DON’T BLAME GOD James 1:12-20 Devotional:- “And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else” (V. 13) NLT Today, there is so much confusion the enemy places in the heart of men to make them feel that God hate them. So, when people are under the pressure of the flesh to sin, they say “God is tempting me”. When people are weak, they are going to face temptation through their flesh. It wil be wrong to say God is tempting you with sickness or troubles. Yes, God knows about it but He only allows it when we have been warned repeatedly and we refuse to change. He disciplines, but it is necessary for us to know that God is not the author of evil, that is the work of the devil (Hebrews 12:6; Matthew 4:24).  There is a difference between a test and temptation. To test means to examine or observe if someone is capable of doing something. To tempt means to entice or lure someone into doing some...

THE FAITHFUL SERVANT

THE FAITHFUL SERVANT               

Luke 16:10-13
Devotional Verse:- “He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much” (Vs. 10)

    A major practice of the citizens of the Kingdom of God is faithfulness. This is because our God is faithful (I Thessalonians 5:24). To be faithful means, to carry out the master’s assignment as we are instructed by Him or by our leaders. An average man wants to argue about every given instruction. Only a faithful servant obeys notwithstanding. 
 
    In our Scripture for today, we can see why men are not faithful. They think it all end today. We don't always understand that whatever we sow today will determine what happens to us tomorrow. Since we are not leaders, we just do things anyhow. Jesus taught us that it is our faithfulness in the little He has given us that qualifies us for more. God sees faithfulness as the product of our maturity. So, it is assumed that if you are not faithful in service by paying your tithes with your little income, using your office, privilege or gifts of the Holy Spirit, you are not qualified for more. True riches are the measures of riches at a greater level. But this is only for the faithful at the lower level.
 
    We all want to be in a place where we will be in charge but it is only when we are faithful in where we are serving others that God will approve of people to serve us. He who jumps up will certainly come down, but faithfulness will qualify you for a lasting promotion from God. It’s a new day!
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to be a faithful servant
 
“FAITHFULNESS IS THE LADDER TO YOUR DESIRED PLACE”

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.
