COMPARISM

  COMPARISM 2 Corinthians 10:7-18 Devotional:- “Oh, don't worry; we wouldn't dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!” (v.12) NLT. Man, by his complexity, sometimes creates complications for himself in life. One of the things we often do incorrectly is to measure our lives by comparing them to other people’s lives. We often forget that we are sent for a different purpose, so our goals and objectives cannot be the same. There is nothing wrong with trying to gauge your level of performance against others in the same field. But it will be completely wrong for you to determine whether you are a failure or a success by the life of another man. Paul, the apostle of Christ, knows that his own purpose and program are from the Lord and are different from what others have been given. For example, if some apostles were marr...

BE STRONG

Ephesians 6:10-20
Devotional verse: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might” (v. 10)


    The nature of the kingdom of God demands that every citizen should be strong. Those who takes their place in this kingdom takes it by force (Matthew 11:12).             This is because the kingdom has unrepented and un-relented enemy call the devil (1 Peter 5:8). That is why you cannot afford to be weak as a Christian. We must wake up and be strong in our faith in the word of God (Ephesians 6:16).

    Whoever that want to participate in the kingdom of God, must be ready to grow. Gone are those days someone says he is a Christian and someone will help you speak to your father to tell you what your father is saying. That’s a middle man, but it proves you are not a legitimate child. Gone are those days when you contract prayer out or someone meet you and tells you, God said I should tell you and you can’t confirm yourself.

    If God is your father, then set your heart to know Him, you really don’t need a middle man. Men of God are to represent and not to replace our God. To be strong, you must study about your father through His word.  Pick books that teaches you about Him (Daniel 11:32), Then regularly relate with Him in praise and prayers. Serve Him in the church and keep fellowship with people of the same father with you. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, increase my strength in you.

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.
