  GOOD SHEPHERD John 10:11-16  Devotional:- "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gave his life for the sheep”. (V. 11) Shepherds are one of the most caring people on earth. They value the lives of the sheep. They risk their life many times to save the life of the sheep. They follow the sheep wherever they go and lead them To green grass where they enjoy fresh food for their nourishment (Psalms 23:1-6). Their presence comforts and secures the sheep. They cannot tolerate the loss of any of them. So they watch over it so dearly. If anyone is missing, they take pains to look for it till they find it, and when it is found, they celebrate it (Luke 15:4-7). So also is the love of Jesus to you. He is your good shepherd. That is why He laid down His life for you. He died that you might live. He cares for you (I Peter 5:7). He cannot afford to see you in suffering. Whatever you are passing through now is for your glory (Romans 8:18). Everything shall turn to your testimony (Luke...

PLANNING.   

Luke 14: 25-33
Devotional:-“For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it“ (v. 28)


    One of the wisdom steps that has always work in all the ages is planning. This is putting on paper your thoughts that can be turned to steps of actions. It is often said that when your planning is successful you are actually 50% successful. Planning is action in the preparation stage. Planning is mapping out your steps of actions. To act without planning may cause sudden situation for failure. So, wise people always have a plan. To go to war or build a house without a plan may not bring success.

The scripture we read today gave us two instances that will always demand planning. These is building a great house and facing a war. It is important you know that embarking on your business plan is a war. Facing a project is a war. Laboring to establish your business is building; organizing to have a marriage is a building. So, all we do often fall into either of these two and it demands sitting down first to plan. 

Planning is step by step arrangement into your achievements. It is not a waste of time to plan. The time invested in planning will be gained by the speed or ease in achieving your goal. Men who take time to plan will always face lesser resistance in life. Create a time to be separated to consider your ways. Organize your line of action on paper and you will enjoy smoother route to achievement. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, show me the way and steps to my goals.

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.
