  APPRECIATION Psalm 92:1-10 Devotional:- “It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High” (v.1) NKJV It is in the habit of most people that when they are expecting something from God, they will do everything possible to gain His favour. But as soon as it is done, that thing loses value to them. So, people only value what they don’t have. This sometimes does not make us have a heart of gratitude to God. We will always promise to give thanks, but as soon as we receive our expectations, some will forget to give thanks. Many do not know that the opportunity or privilege that is available to them is what qualifies them for what they are expecting. But they look down on this because their expectations have not been met. Your health is more important than travelling abroad. The breath of life you enjoy is far more valuable than the car or job you are expecting. In fact, this qualifies you for those things. Friend, no matter what God has done for you,...

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 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.
