  LIVING WITH PURPOSE Proverbs 19:16-23 Devotional – “You can make many plans, but the LORD's purpose will prevail” (v. 21 NLT) Living on purpose is the only way to really live; everything else just merely exists. Most people struggle with these three questions in life; WHO AM I? (Identity); WHY AM I MADE? (Purpose); WHAT IS MY PLACE IN LIFE? (Impact). The answers to these entire questions are found in five Gods purpose for you. Now that you know God’s purpose for your life, it is important you live in it. For you not to drift away from the most important things of life, it is important to develop a purpose statement for your life and regularly review it. This is a statement that summarizes God’s purpose for your life (Psalm 39:11). It is a statement that point the direction of your life (Proverbs 4:26). It spells out what you are to do and what not (Proverbs 17:24). It is a statement that defines success for you (Philippians 1:10). It is a statement that clarifies your roles and i...

WISDOM GROWTH 

Proverbs 4: 1-10
Devotional:0“Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding” (v.7) NKJV


    Life becomes a struggle sooner or later when people grow in other areas of life and are not growing in wisdom. Wisdom is said to be the principal factor of life. The major trouble of life is the fact that those who ought to teach wisdom are only just growing. God has structured it for people to learn wisdom from homes, schools or churches. But wisdom has been scarce because of greed and needs. 

   Since wisdom centers have been diverted, those who want to grow in wisdom must be humble and receive it through searching (Ecclesiastes 1:13). We need wisdom for spiritual strength, business, finances, relationship and provision for progress. Wisdom is the ability to decide and act wisely. 

To grow in wisdom, we must be willing to pay the price of searching for it through the information of the word of God and the one available through the books of the wise people in our different areas of need. Please understand that reading is not equal to wisdom, it is the Lord that gives wisdom. (Proverbs 2:6, Job 32:8) He teaches us through the factors of growth. Understand that a part of these factors are our challenges and our relationship experiences (Proverbs 13:20). Ask Him for wisdom (James 1:5). Don’t live among fools and God will give you wisdom. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me wisdom from above.

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 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.
