  BECOMING LIKE CHRIST Romans 8:18-30 Devotional:- “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the first born among many brethren” (V. 29) The third purpose of your life is to become like Christ. From the very beginning God intend to make man to be like Himself (Gen 1:26). So like God, we are made a spirit and our spirit lives the body. We are intellectual, we can think and solve problems. We are relational, i.e. we can give and receive love. We also have a moral conscience to discern right from wrong which make us accountable to God. God’s ultimate goal for you on earth is not comfort but character. He wants you to grow up and become like Christ. This does not mean losing your personality. Christlikeness is all about transforming your character and not your personality. Every time you forget that character development is the reason you are here you frustrate yourself. So, life is quite challenging because God is always attem...

SAVING CULTURE

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 13:22-25
Devotional:- “Much food is in the fallow ground of the poor, And for lack of justice there is waste” (V. 23) NKJV


    It is important that you realize the importance of cultivating the habit or lifestyle of savings. It is an attitude that we must consciously cultivate. If not, people will be poor forever. Saving culture is a singular factor that can turn a man's financial status around for good. God makes us as a creature that can form habit and this is one of the major habit you must labour hard to form. If you don’t form habits for financial freedom, you are likely living with habits of financial failure. 

We are able to form habits when our understanding is opened to the importance of doing something to achieve something. Some people inherited the financial habits from their family lineage. Such family will forever be able to amass wealth. Some people because of lack of savings culture will never handle volume of money in their lite time. The moment the parents don’t have this habits, it becomes difficult for the children to have it. The way out of poverty is to see the importance and discipline oneself at all cost to cultivate this saving culture. Saving is the act of setting aside a percentage of your income, to keep it with discipline never to touch it till maturity. The enemy of the saving culture is pleasure and fun mentality, living to please people and comparing yourself with others (Proverbs 21:17; 2 Corinthians 10:12). 

Friend, it is not how much you earn now that determines your financial future, it is how much you can conserve and invest. Discipline yourself to start separating at least 20% of your income for saving and investment. It can be daily, weekly or monthly. There is a need to discipline yourself never to touch your savings until it becomes a bulk to be invested. Then you can by it walk your way out of lack forever by the wisdom of savings. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace and enablement to discipline myself for a better tomorrow.

“IF YOU CAN'T SAVE AND INVEST, THERE WILL BE NO FINANCIAL FUTURE”

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.
