  HOW REAL SERVANTS ACT Mark 10:35-45 Devotional:- “Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant” (V. 43).   The world defines greatness in terms of power, possessions, prestige and position but God determined your greatness by how many people you serve. This is quite contrary to the world view. Jesus called Himself servant and to be like Him is to be a servant. That is why it is so important to have a servant’s heart. God often test our heart by asking us to serve even outside our shape or area of interest. Your priority area of service should be in your area of shape, but God could demand for your service wherever needed. Looking at how a servant act is important because one could serve in a church for years and not be a real servant. Real servants make themselves available to serve. If you only serve when it is convenient, then you are not a good servant (2 Timothy 2:4). Real servants pay attention to needs, always lo...

CHOOSE GOD

Ruth 1:6-18
Devotional- “But Ruth said: Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go;And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God” (v. 16 )


       As God's kingdom Citizens we must be consecrated on to God. To be consecrated onto God is to dedicate oneself to God with a covenant. For us to be able to achieve this we must consciously choose God as our God. This must be done with understanding and with the whole of our heart. So many are aware that Jesus will soon return but not many are sure they belong to Christ (Matthew 7:21-22). 

A major step to be sure you belong to Jesus is to dedicate yourself to the Lord with a covenant. The statement we are reading from Ruth today is a covenant statement. Please be careful not to be casual with God anymore (2 Chronicles 29:10) 

To covenant yourself unto the Lord is to completely agree to live your life as a child of God in this wicked, crooked and unstable world. It is to make a conscious commitment or a vow to the Lord. It is dangerous to assume that you are okay with God when you have not covenanted yourself consciously to follow the Lord and determine to abide with it no matter what. This is when you are consecrating your life unto the Lord (Rom 12:1-2). Peace!

Prayer: Lord, I covenant my life unto you alone and to serve you alone all my life. 

“YOU CANNOT BE SURE YOU ARE COMMITTED WHEN IT IS NOT CONSCIOUSLY DONE"

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.
