  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...

ENDURING TRIBULATIONS

ENDURING TRIBULATIONS 

2 Thessalonians 1:1-11
Dev:- “so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure” (V. 4)


    Everyone who has chosen to be citizen of the kingdom of God must be ready to face tribulations. This is because the kingdom of God is a kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness is always looking for a way to stop the activities of the kingdom of God.

 Jesus said to us that in this world we shall be facing tribulations. Jesus taught us to handle it with cheers (John16:33). Tribulations are pointer to the fact that the enemy is taking advantage of our individual weaknesses and limitations. There is nothing palatable about tribulations. It is just that actions commands reactions. That you love the Lord and serving Him makes you an envy of the kingdom of darkness.

The word of God said those who trouble us shall be troubled (Jeremiah 30:16). But you and I must endure tribulations to earn the crown of life (James 1:12). God’s word teaches us to rejoice greatly because our reward in heaven shall be great (Matthew 5:11-12). Don't because of tribulations turn back from Christ. God allows it to train you and to build you up (Hebrews 12:7-11). Endure to the end (Mark 13:13) Refuse to deny Christ, don't turn back from the services of God. Then you will be qualified for your reward at last. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me not to turn back from you.

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.
