  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...

TAKE YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW

TAKE YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW

Luke 9:21-27
Devotional:- “Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me” (V23)


    No one can end up his/her journey in heaven with Jesus except he/she is ready to follow Jesus with the cross. Jesus, been our perfect example in God carries His cross a long distance to the place of crucifixion. It was a painful experience of His life. So we must all do the same. This time not to the mountain of Crucifixion but of glorification.

To carry our crosses and follow Him means we keep our walk with Jesus not minding the challenging experiences of our lives. The crosses are the different challenges and trials of our lives. Those crosses intend to stop us in the journey of life but we must be determined to use it as our factor to growing stronger in the Lord. 

This will surely demand good understanding of the way of the Lord. It will demand you denying yourself in every situation to follow only the way of the Lord. Then, we will be strong enough to take the journey to eternity with Jesus. Peace. 

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to follow to the end.

“MUCH STRENGTH IS A PRODUCT OF VICTORY OVER CHALLENGES”

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.
