Discretion is the ability to understand your way from the past and know what to do next. Discretion means the ability to make wise and careful decisions, especially when you need to decide what is appropriate to do or say. Discretion means having the good judgment to know what to do, when to do it, and what to avoid. Many people are confused. Not knowing where to turn at a time, whether to turn to the right or to the left. If you’ve been finding yourself in this kind of sit...

DON’T CALL FOR ATTENTION

DON’T CALL FOR ATTENTION

Matthew 6:1-4
Devotional Verse:-“that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly” (Vs. 4)

     


    Everyone loves to be commended and recommended. But the citizens of the kingdom of God allow God to prove them and do not call for attention by their good deeds. Some people call for attention by showing on TV how they give to the needy. If this is done with a motive of blessing others with the awareness of such privilege, then it is great, but it is not meant for show off. 
    In our Scripture today, Jesus tells us that we should be careful of how we do our good deeds to others so as not to miss our reward (Matthew 6:5). Remember that, the Bible says the glory of God should not be given to another (Isaiah 42:8). However, for whatever we do, we will be rewarded when the glory is giving to God. Calling attention to yourself is an act of taking the glory of God.
 
    To let all glory be given to God, we must not do our good works to show off. The moment we are waiting for people to applaud us, then, we are taking God’s glory. No one does that and receive the reward of God. We should not announce to the world the good works we are doing. If we do so, then we have already received our reward. When Jesus heal people, He often tell them not to tell it to anyone (Matthew 8:3-4, Mark 7:35-36). These are examples for us. For all your good works, you will not miss your reward in Jesus name. Peace!  
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to always return all the glory to you. 

 “YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE APPLAUSE OF MEN AND THE REWARD OF GOD”

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.

  DOMINION   Psalms 8:1-9 Devotional:- “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV      At creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6; Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God (Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to be in charge of all creation.
