VALUE YOURSELF 1 Peter 2:1-10  Devotional:- “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” (V. 9) NKJV If anyone is going to enjoy the love of God, he must see himself as lovely. One of the ways for someone to see themselves as lovely is by valuing themselves. You need to know that of all the creatures of God, not only on earth but also in heaven, you are the most special. According to the word of God, there is no other creature that is as valuable as you are. You are the reason for the labour of the devil (1 Peter 5:8). You are the envy of the demons. You are the envy of the angels. A great percentage of the angels are serving the heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:14). The scripture we read today calls you a chosen one. That is, among the multitude, God selected you out for Himself. You are a royal priesthood, that is, you are a kingly priest...

GOD WORKS 

Genesis 2:1-7
Devotional – “And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done”. (V. 2)


    God the maker of the heavens and the earth is a God that work. We need to understand that God must not stop working. If He does, most of the system and structure that makes our earth to be, will simply stop. That will create total destruction on the earth and on the inhabitants of the earth. That is why the Bible says, He does not slumber nor sleep (Psalm 121:4). If God, our maker is working, then it will be a sin if we don’t work (2 Thessalonians 3:10). 

Work is the use of extracted energy to course a change in a thing, a place or a person. Our work as New Testament believers are works of faith. Work of faith is taking responsibility to obey God by faith. Since the beginning of time, we see God working (Genesis 1:1). God’s word begins with a work statement and end with the statement of work. (Genesis 1:1, Revelation 22:20-22).  We saw in the scripture today that God worked. You will hear the Bible saying, God made, plant or cause it to rain or formed. These are works. 

Friend, if God made us like Himself, then we are made to work (Genesis 2:15). That is why we must put in our best wherever we are, as citizen of the kingdom of God to make an impact or cause a change. No one will work and be turned to a beggar. It is your work that gives you a worth. It is working by faith that creates our miracles (Mark 16:17). Wake up.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to work with your instruction for my life by faith.

“IT IS YOUR WORK THAT DETERMINES YOUR WORTH”

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.
