  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...

TRIAL TIMES

James 1:12-20
Dev:- “So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath” (V. 19)


    There is a need to learn from the word of God what to do to manage the trial times. God expect us to use our trial times to grow and overcome but not to be a victim. If you will come out victoriously after a trail times then let us learn the wisdom thought in the word of God. 

The first is to realize that victory over trial brings us into promotion of strength, wisdom and grace. That is why we must not give in (James 1:12). The second is that we realize that God is not the source of most of the trial times in our lives. Trial times are always a product of our weaknesses. This will help us admit our weaknesses and repent before the Lord (James 1:13-15). 

In trial times we must learn to be more teachable to gain strength. Not boasting to know but slow to give judgments (Proverbs 14:27, Proverbs 16:32, Ecclesiastic 7:9). This is when to return to obey the Lord (Hosea 6:1). And we shall be restored. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, give me grace to use trial times for my promotions

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.
