  THE HEART OF WORSHIP Romans 6:1-14 Devotional:- “And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God” (V. 13) Since worship is our first purpose on earth we need to know that worship will not be worship if we don’t surrender to God. So, surrendering is the heart of worship. In our world today, surrender sound negative. It could mean to give up or losing or admit your defeat. But it is giving ourselves to God not out of fear or necessity but in love (1 John 4:9-19). Three things often attempt to block our mind from total surrendering to God, fear, pride and confusion. As kingdom citizen, please know it that you must learn to trust God. A woman will not be able to surrender to her husband if she does not trust him and so also you to God. To truly surrender to God, you must admit your weaknesses and limitations. That is when you truly want to ask ...

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 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.
