  MADE TO SERVE GOD 1 Corinthians 3:5-17 Devotional:- “For we are both God's workers. And you are God's field. You are God's building. (V.9 NLT) God put you on earth to make contributions and make a difference with your life. Another purpose of your life is to serve the Lord wherever you are. You are created to add to the earth and not just to take from it. This purpose of your life is called ministry or service. It is very important that you live in this consciousness, you were created to serve God (Ephesians 2:10). Wherever you are either in the school or in the office, be sure you are serving God and fulfilling your purpose.  God saved you to serve Him. Your work, business or academic is also a work and a service to the Lord (Ephesians 6:5-7). God redeemed you to do His holy work everywhere in your life. It is service that gives value to your life (2 Timothy 1:9). Ministry is not only for pastors but for all members of the body of Christ. We are not to sit and wait for h...

FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-8
Devotional:- “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." (V. 8) NKJV


    Anyone who wants to be vessels unto honour is seeking to be used by the Lord. God will have to dwell in you before He starts to use you. God is a Spirit (John 4:24). That is why someone who wants to be a vessel unto honour must be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Jesus told the disciples that they should not venture to do the work of God unless they are filled with the Holy Spirit. The difference became so clear and the effect of their ministry became so powerful after the day of Pentecost. Everyone is controlled by the spirit in them. As a believer, we must therefore ensure that all the members of our household are filled with the Holy Spirit. So that no one around us will be a vessel for the devil.

Friend, don’t let socialism distract you from the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of all vessels of honour. Someone like Apostle Peter was a failure in business but the Holy Spirit made the difference in his life (Luke 5:1-11; Act 2:38-41). Most of the disciples were not as educated, but the Spirit makes the difference in their lives (Acts 4:13-14). To be an honorable the Spirit of God must dwell in you. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, let your Spirit dwell in me always.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
