  UNDERSTANDING YOUR SHAPE Jeremiah 1:4-12 Devotional:- “I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” (V.5 NLT) As a people crated to serve the Lord, God has design each of us in a unique way to be able to serve Him. We are so uniquely created that no one can find your duplicate. If you don’t contribute your part to the body of Christ God will make a replacement. (Act 1:20).  Look at the meaning of your shape the letter “A” represents your SPECIAL ABILITY. These are special abilities and talents given to you from birth. It is important we come to know that all our special abilities come from God.(Rom 12:6 ). So many people often give excuses of not having any ability to serve God but research shows that each of us has variety of 500 to 700 abilities. You are able to take thousands of decision in a second and more so you are loaded with special abilities. Please know that every abilit...

PROFIT ORIENTED

PROFIT ORIENTED

Matthew 25:14-30
Devotional: "So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.'” (V. 20)


    Work will not be encouraging or motivating enough if it is not making profits. Everything we have is given to us by God but it is as we work smart to make profit that we are rewarded. So many people don't bother about profit. People think work is a place you just resume at, either you do anything or not does not matter. At least they have come to work, so, they just come to sleep. This is a very wrong mentality. God want us to be profit oriented.

The parable of Jesus we read today teaches us the importance of been profit oriented. It teaches us that people who are not profit oriented are wicked and will be throw into hell fire. The profit sometimes may not be money but in many cases it is. In the work of ministry the profits are souls.

Friend, ask yourself often, am I adding or subtracting from this work? Am I even making my salary? We should always put that at the back of our mind that we should make profit and progress in whatever we do, either you are working for someone or in business. He that makes no profit will suffer here and in eternity. Think of maximizing profit. Stop working with nonchalant approach. God sees it all. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, make me a profitable servant 

“IT IS PROFIT THAT ENSURE THE CONTINUITY OF YOUR WORK “

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.
