  ENVY NO ONE Genesis 37:1-11  Devotional:- “And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.” (V.11) NKJV For a man to enjoy God’s love being wonderfully demonstrated to him, he must constitute a habit of not envying anyone. This is the reason why many cannot demonstrate genuine love to others. It is time you begin to understand that your value is not comparable. Envy is an emotional act people put on when they feel someone is better than them. Envy is always the mother of negative jealousy. It breeds bitterness and pushes people to commit all kinds of crimes. Some people’s reason for being armed robbers is that since they could not make it legitimately, they must go and get it by force from the hands of those who have made it. The truth is that there is no one who cannot make it. The problem with Joseph’s brother was that they did not know the truth of the word of God. As children of Abraham, all of them are already pronounced as successful in life. Josep...

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 16:27-33
Devotional:- “He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city” (V. 32). 

    It is discovered that most of the people who succeed in this world are more of emotional intelligence than people with intellectual quotient (IQ). In other word, man by nature need to be able to first manage his own emotion. People are more prone to succeed in life when they have control over their emotion. That is why, they have the ability to be calm and be themselves, no matter what.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to reorganize our own feelings and that of others in other to manage ourselves and our relationship. A person, who identifies, understands and responds to emotions with calm and collective reasons and empathy will do better in anything he does than a man with great IQ. Emotional intelligence helps us to have self-control, self-motivated, self-discipline and delay gratification.

To be emotionally intelligent is to know your own emotional strength or weaknesses and focus on your strength (2 Corinthians 12:7-9). It involves managing your emotion with understanding when others behave to you. Be self-motivated when people and situation put you down. Realize why people do what they do and empathize with them. React to people with this act of understanding. This will go a long way to help you build relationship with many people. This will help you be a help and solution to many as a vessel unto honour. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be mature with my emotion

“IF YOU ARE NOT AT PEACE WITH YOURSELF, YOU CANNOT BE WITH OTHERS”

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 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.
