  RIGHT VIEW Matthew 25:14-30 Devotional:- “And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey” (V.15)  Please note that there is a way that you view life. The truth is that your view of life goes a long way to determine how you invest your time, money talents and value your relationships. People see life from different perspectives. Some sees life as up and down. Some see life as a game so they always play as it comes; some sees life as a place of party, so regular party becomes their priority. Those who see life as battle will have winning as their priority.  People expresses their view and value of life through their kind of cloths, jewelry, cars, hairstyle, tattoos or car stickers but how do God wants us to view life. From our scripture today Jesus gave a parable of how the kingdom of God is and how we should view life. He likened the kingdom of God to a man who is embarking o...

DILIGENCE 

Proverbs 12:16-28
Devotional: “The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy man will be put to forced labor.” (V. 24)


    To be lazy at work is a crime. This is because your work is your purpose of creation. Your work or business is a service to the Lord. Your work is your contribution to your world. Your work is the value of your life. Can you imagine how much a lazy man stand to lose?

 The scripture we read today says, a diligent man will rule. In other words, a diligent man will be distinct, he will be recognized by God for what he does and he will be qualified for promotion (Genesis 39:4, Luke 16:10-12). A diligent man will be favored. He will be recommended for his work and he will be dependable and appreciated. But laziness put a man under a forced labour.

People become lazy when they find out that their expectations from a work or business is not coming. But a diligent man has a right motive. He is not looking at what man will say or not. He is working for the Lord and that is his rewarder. To be diligent is to put in the best in your work to get the best result. It is to put in to the work more than normal. Surely, such will be promoted by the Lord and will soon be leader of others.

PRAYER: Lord, put a diligent Spirit in me.

“AVOIDING YOUR WORK IS AVOIDING PROMOTION “

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 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.
