APPRECIATION

  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,...

SERVING WITH LOVE

SERVING WITH LOVE

Scripture Reading: 1 Peter 4:7-11
Devotional:- “And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins."” (V. 8) NKJV


    It is impossible to faithfully serve without loving. When it comes to serving, no one would love to submit to it except by the love of Christ. This is because; service demands that you relinquishing yourself of your ego to be of assistance to someone. In a natural sense, it looks like demotion. That is why only the humble can serve. To therefore be a vessel unto honour, our service unto God must be with love.

The word of God said we need to have fervent love for each other. One version said we should love as though our live depend on it. Another version said our love for others should be intense and unfailing. It is very easy to serve to show. So that people will credit us for doing well, but the Bible encourages us not to do that (Ephesians 6:5-7). Our service should be unto the Lord whenever we are. We may be serving in our house, office, in the community or in the house of God. We should serve sincerely and with love.

Friend, God will not reward eye service or service out of necessity (Matthew 6:1-2). You need to know that your career or business is also service to God. This is because that business should be bringing honour and glory to God (1 Corinthians 10:31). So love people and not just their money. And God will reward you faithfully (Hebrews 11:6). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to always serve with love.

“SERVING IN LOVE MAKES YOU GIVE YOUR BEST AND GET THE BEST FROM GOD”.

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.
