  RIGHT VIEW Matthew 25:14-30 Devotional:- “And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey” (V.15)  Please note that there is a way that you view life. The truth is that your view of life goes a long way to determine how you invest your time, money talents and value your relationships. People see life from different perspectives. Some sees life as up and down. Some see life as a game so they always play as it comes; some sees life as a place of party, so regular party becomes their priority. Those who see life as battle will have winning as their priority.  People expresses their view and value of life through their kind of cloths, jewelry, cars, hairstyle, tattoos or car stickers but how do God wants us to view life. From our scripture today Jesus gave a parable of how the kingdom of God is and how we should view life. He likened the kingdom of God to a man who is embarking o...

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.

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). 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.
