  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...

LIVING SACRIFICE

Scripture Reading: Romans 12:1-5
Devotional:- “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service” (V. 1) NKJV


    Jesus is the sacrificial Lamb of God. He laid down His life to redeem us. His blood has become the price of our salvation (Ephesians 1:7). The Bible calls Him the first among the living (Romans 8:29). This means we are to follow His example to please the Lord. That is why the word of God says “we are to be a living sacrifice”.

A living sacrifice is a sacrifice that is still alive. Whatever is sacrificed ought to be killed. A sacrifice is a life released to be used to serve and to worship God. It is to let go a life in honour and worship to God. Being a living sacrifice is to surrender once life to God to be used. That is why the Bible says “this is our reasonable service.

Friend, if you want to be a vessel unto honour, then, you must present your bodies as a living sacrifice to God. Then, the Holy Spirit will sanctify your body and make it holy and acceptable unto the Lord. This will happen when you stop conforming to the way of the world. Then start to take time to study the word of God. Let the Holy Spirit transform you into the will and the way of God. Do this by yielding to His instructions. Then, you will become a living sacrifice and a vessel unto honour. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, help me to totally surrender to you

“A SACRIFICIAL LAMB IS DEAD TO HIMSELF BUT ONLY ALIVE TO GOD”

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.
