  LIVING IN PURPOSE Proverbs 19:20-29 Devotional:- “Many plans are in a man's mind, but it is the Lord's purpose for him that will stand” (v.21) AMPC. Our God is a God of purpose. He does all things for a purpose, and He will do nothing for nothing. Everything we see in this world has a reason for existence; even the ant and the mosquito have a reason for their existence. If there is no purpose for them, they will not be created. The beauty is that everything will enter into their season of joy when they locate their purpose and stay in it. It is important that you come to know that you are created for a purpose. You also need to know that it is only in fulfilment of your purpose that you can experience great joy. It is as sweet as when a nut finds the right screw and they just fit perfectly. It is as if a door finds the right key and it opens easily. Also, life can be smooth and become interesting when you locate your purpose and walk in it. Please understand that God’s purpos...

ABLE TO TEACH

ABLE TO TEACH

Scripture Reading: 1 Timothy 3:1-7
Devotional:- “A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;” (V. 2) 


    It takes teaching to educate. The challenge in our world today is many people living without impacting others meaningfully. To teach is to affect others. It is to be a good example that others can learn from. It is to impact into others virtues of wisdom for their rising. It is to make others better. 

The word of God says; vessels of honour must be able to teach. To be able to teach is to be patience to communicate rightly to people till they are able to learn. In our word today, most people expect others to learn without been taught. This seems to be our definition of maturity. But this has made many to be pretenders. In other word, everyone is pretending to know. That is why, if you employ some people, you will be highly disappointed in the way of their ignorance. To make it worst, some church members have become leaders because of their long time in church, but baby in things of faith.

To be able to teach, you must be a student also. Humble yourself to locate where to learn. It is wrong to assume knowledge. The word of God teaches us to establish the truth. We are to buy wisdom. We need to go to the wisdom market, pick books and attend seminars or a school of learning. That is when you can impact on others what you have learnt. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a learning spirit.

“A TEACHER IS FIRST A STUDENT”

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.
