  AUTHORITY Luke 10:5-20  Devotional:- “Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you” (v. 19) NLT One of the most sought after instrument in this world is authority. In the social setting of the world, when people have acquire some things of life, they then begin to go for authority. But because Jesus came from above, he made available to every believer by the reason of His love what is called true authority. Authority is the power or right to enforce obedience. In the world here people cannot enjoy absolute authority. They can only enjoy delegated authority. But do you know that we have greater authority? And we can grow in this authority to become greater and greater by the level of our faith. We can possess total authority over the enemy the moment we are in tune with God and don’t mingle with sin. These are the only things that can easily deflate the strength of our aut...

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.

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.
