DESIGNED TO SERVE GOD

  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...

CASTING YOUR CARES

CASTING YOUR CARES

1 PETER 5:5-11
DEVOTIONAL: “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (Vs. 7).



    In this world, people have problems; one burden or the other, a challenge or the other or one need or the other. Despite all these problems, you must not allow yourself to be weighed down. If you do, making progress will become very difficult. That is why God has given us the platform of prayers.
    In the Scripture for today, we are taught to always cast our burdens on Jesus Christ because He cares for us. One of the things we do during prayer time is to cast our burdens before the Lord. The word ‘cast’ means to pass it over to God in prayers. God does not expect us to carry more than we can bear. He is our father and our helper (Psalms 46:1). It will therefore be very wrong to carry the burden of life alone (1 Cor. 10:13).
    When you cast a need to God in prayers, don’t keep carrying the burden. If you do, then it means you have not cast the burden upon Jesus. Whatever you commit into His hand will be perfected (II Tim. 1:12). Therefore, be willing to always cast your burden in prayers. God will take over and your life will be made beautiful to His glory. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to always cast my burdens on you.

“A BURDEN CAST UNTO GOD IS A BURDEN RESOLVED”.

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.
