  LIVING IN YOUR PURPOSE Ecclesiastics 4:1-6 Devotional:- "Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind” (V.4)   One of the most frustrating things in life is when people don’t know what exactly to live for. In that case they just live doing whatever they find others living for.  So many people live their lives driven by guilt. So they keep regretting their steps and past. Some live all their lives on resentment and anger. So many lives are in disarray because they are victims of transfer of aggression. So many lives are driven by fear of many things, so many live their lives driven by materialism, so they live a live that is never satisfied pursuing money. Other lives are driven by the need for approval. So it is what people say about them that determine their joy.

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

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.
