  SETBACK Genesis 39:10-21 Devotional:- “Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison” (v.20) NKJV Most people do not yet understand that what we call a setback, a lot of time is a set-up to set us to our top. Setback, as viewed by people, is demotion, but it is rather an opportunity to retreat and re-fire for greater victory. When the purpose of a thing is not known, men are bound to abuse it. Today, we read about Joseph, who was thanking God for being promoted from a slave to a house overseer. He always tried to put his best into his assignment, and by this, he always had joy. At this time, the enemy wanted to damage his testimony by the temptation of sin, but he stood his ground for God (2 Timothy 2:22). But then he faced something like a demotion to prison. This looks like an act of wickedness from God that he was trying to please, but Joseph knew that there is a price for righteo...

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.

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.
