  A FRIEND John 15:9-17  Devotional:- “...but l have called you friends…” (V. 15) In this generation, it is not a common thing to find true friends. This is someone who goes all out to see to your well-being. Someone who wants to identify with you in all situations. Someone who is not feeling fine until he sees you, someone who daily remembers to pray and intercede for you. It can be a terrible thing sometimes when you desire to share your mind with someone, and no one is willing to listen to you, or someone who could offer a little help. Sometimes we could be in need of a little encouragement, but no one to really do it. The people who are supposed to encourage us are the ones who misunderstand us and condemn us. We need to come to the understanding that God is our friend. He is not just your Lord and God. He always wants to listen to you. He is not happy when you are not (Hebrews 4:15).

SPIRITUAL GIFTS 

1 Corinthians 12:1-11
Devotional: "But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:” (V. 7)


    One of the Grace and strength God has given to every Spirit filled believers is that of Spiritual gift. These are divine abilities that enable us to perform or work above our natural abilities. When the Holy Spirit comes into anyone, He comes with His gifts          (divine abilities). This will then make it clearer to you that the Holy Spirit is given that believers may be able to serve the kingdom of God wherever we are.

Reading through the diversities of this gifts, please understand that they are not given to us to just speak in tongues. They are given to us to work with them as we represent the kingdom of God. God gave those gifts to us that we might create a means of blessing others and create income as we use them. Each of us have one, two or three of these gifts manifesting in us. 

Friend, note that the gifts are to make you become better in carrying out your work and business. They are divine skills that are given to you as gifts, because you did not pay in school to earn them. So, identify these gifts that are operating in you and labour to grow in the use of it. That way you may be able to impact your world. Use them in your office and not only in the church. Use them to work the good work God has given you. Then you will be representing the kingdom of God. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to grow better in working with your gifts in me

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).

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.
