SUCCESS YOUR PURPOSE 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Devotional:- “And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing” (V. 8) NLT When a person turns to the Lord, invite Jesus to his/her life, and surrender to Jesus as Lord and saviour, then he/she sincerely becomes a Christian. This is the state many in the church has not attained. Many struggle to surrender their lives to the Lord because they are afraid of failure, not able to trust God to give them success, and their love for the things of this world (1 John 2:15-17). When you sincerely surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your view of success cannot but change. Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7). When you start to live for God, your definition of success will change from materials to purpose. Liv...

NOT HOW MUCH 

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 6:6-11
Devotional:- “Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise” (V. 6) NKJV


    A major reason people end up being poor in their life is because they create a standard for themselves based on their level of salary or income today. Some people earns #200,000:00 monthly, using four cars even in a rented or official apartment. Many people are looking big because there is a big income. Most of such people always end up frustrated and disappointed in poverty.
A man's level of riches is not determined by the earning of his labour. Don’t forget that the wages of labor is payment for a part of your time and energy on the earth expended to help somebody. Some people are ready to kill for rituals to be in politics. Thinking of the volume today is equal to volume forever. What makes a man rich is the volume of interest on his investment. If the volume of interest is not able to sustain your status today, it is still poverty.

Friend, wake up. You need to know that the level of energy today that gives you the job for the salary will not continue to be there. As you grow, your company will soon do away with you, even if you are a member of the board. Your level of productivity, spiritually, mentally or physically cannot be the same for ever. Be wise to learn from the ant (Proverbs 6:6). Your real labor should be to invest more in viable investment (Ecclesiastes 11:1-4). Please give quality attention to investment so much that your interest or dividends will be equal to your current salary forever. Be wise. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to wake up and be wise.

“YOU HAVE A FAKE STATUS TODAY IF YOUR INTEREST CANNOT MEASURE UP TO IT”

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.
