  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...

YOUR OFFICE

Ephesians 6:6-9
Devotional: "with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men,” (V. 7)


   Remember the purpose of your working is that God might be glorified (Matthew 5:16). That is why your work must be good enough for the glory of God. Every kingdom citizen should be mindful of this. Our work in the office must not bring shame and dishonour to the Lord. Thank God for the salary, but your purpose in that office is far bigger than that.

The scripture we read today is very instructive on how we should work in our offices. Firstly, is that our work should be unto the Lord. That is, we are representative of God in that organization and it is on to the Lord we should be responsible. That is why we must submit to men in the fear of God (Ephesians 5:21, Colossians 3:22).That is why your take home pay must be more than salary.

Secondly, we are instructed to serve not with eye service but a heart service. That is, doing our services with all enthusiasm. Putting our best into the work to provoke the blessings of God on the work and our lives like Jacob in the house of Laban (Genesis 30:30). Working with our mind and taking initiative for innovation. Not allowing discouragement but serving with joy. Hereby creating the atmosphere for the presence of God in that organization. Interceding for her progress by the Spirit of unity in the office. Then, heaven cannot fail to reward us. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, make me a pace setter in my office for your glory.

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.
