VALUE YOURSELF

VALUE YOURSELF 1 Peter 2:1-10  Devotional:- “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” (V. 9) NKJV If anyone is going to enjoy the love of God, he must see himself as lovely. One of the ways for someone to see themselves as lovely is by valuing themselves. You need to know that of all the creatures of God, not only on earth but also in heaven, you are the most special. According to the word of God, there is no other creature that is as valuable as you are. You are the reason for the labour of the devil (1 Peter 5:8). You are the envy of the demons. You are the envy of the angels. A great percentage of the angels are serving the heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:14). The scripture we read today calls you a chosen one. That is, among the multitude, God selected you out for Himself. You are a royal priesthood, that is, you are a kingly priest...

CHOICE OF KINDNESS

CHOICE OF KINDNESS        
Proverbs 31:26
Devotional:-“She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness.” v 26


    To be kind is to demonstrate good gesture towards people around us. One of the attitudes of God is kindness (Exodus 34:6) To be kind is costly; it’s going to cost you parting with things that should have been of comfort to you to help the less privileged. This is not because you have so much, but because you made a choice to love and be kind to others. 

When you are demonstrating the act of kindness, people will always assume that it is because you have so much to throw around, which is not always true. If you observe that among the fruits of the spirit, kindness is part (Galatians 5:22). If kindness is a fruit we bear, then, it is not a gift: it is a fruit you cultivate to bear. Those who don’t cultivate it cannot bear it.

If your choice in life is to be kind, then, get ready to build up kindness as a life style. Please know that kindness is a natural disposition of a heart of love. That is why if you truly love, you will not struggle to give (John 3:16). A choice to be kind like our God will cost you cultivating a heart of love for others. God’s word says, he that does not love, does not know God (1 John 4:7-8). The fruit of kindness becomes natural to a heart of love. To demonstrate love, you must learn to obey the word of God (John 14:21). Then, you will be the true son of your father. Peace

PRAYER- Lord, give me a heart of love to be kind.

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.
