FLOATING AXE

FLOATING AXE Devotional:- 2 Kings 6:1-7 “So the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float’’ (V.6) NKJV  Sometimes when we read about some great wonders of God in the Bible, something makes us feel it was because the people were very special. But we need to know that they are men of like passion (James 5:17-18). They were just exactly like we are, but they were only men of faith. This makes God to work wonders through them. The sons of the prophet needed a big place of dwelling. So they decide to cut trees to make a new home. Thank God they requested that Elisha should go with them. As they were cutting the trees, the axe head fell into the deep river. And the man of God asked the Holy Spirit for what to do. The Holy Spirit was what they also depended upon, and there was a miracle. Friend, you also have the Holy Spirit. That stick is the word of God. Speak to the sinking situatio...

HOW REAL SERVANTS ACT

HOW REAL SERVANTS ACT

Mark 10:35-45
Devotional:- “Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant” [v.43].


    The world defines greatness in terms of power, possessions, prestige and position but God determined your greatness by how many people you serve. This is quite contrary to the world view. Jesus called Himself servant and to be like Him is to be a servant. That is why it is so important to have a servant’s heart. God often test our heart by asking us to serve even outside our shape or area of interest. Your priority area of service should be in your area of shape, but God could demand for your service wherever needed.

Looking at how a servant act is important because one could serve in a church for years and not be a real servant. Real servants make themselves available to serve. If you only serve when it is convenient, then you are not a good servant (2 Timothy 2:4). Real servants pay attention to needs, always looking out for how to help others (Proverb 3:28). Real servants do their best with what they have. They don't give excuses. 

Real servants do every task with equal dedication (Colossians 3:23). They know great opportunity often disguised themselves in small task. Small tasks show a big heart. Real servants are faithful in their ministries. They don't leave job half way done. Real servants maintain low profile. They don't call attention to themselves (1 Peter 5:5; Matt.6:1; Gal.1:10). Be humble in service and let God promote you (Col. 3:4). In heaven, secret services will be more rewarded. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, put in me the heart of a real servant.
