  DESIGNED TO SERVE GOD Psalm 139:13-18 Devotional:- “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!” (V. 16 NLT)   God designed and formed you to fit into what He wants you to do to serve Him. The intended function determines the form of a building, so also your life. You are the way you are because you were made for specific ministry (Ephesians 2:10) Our scripture today simply means nothing that happens in your life is insignificant. God will never waste any ability unless He intend to use it for His glory (1 Peter 2:9) Before God will give you any assignment, He must have packaged you for it. This packaging is what we call shape (Jeremiah 1:5). Let us look at the meaning of each letter in your shape. The ‘S’ represents Spiritual gifts. These are special God-empowered abilities for serving Him, giving only to believers (1 Cor. 2:14). These gift cannot be bought because they are given by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:11). We are to use them to benefit on...

LABOUR OF FAITH.

LABOUR OF FAITH.

Read: Hebrews 4:1-12 
Devotional:- “Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief” (V.11) 


    Most believers have not come to the understanding of the need to labour in the word of God. Everybody wants the exploit of the strength of the word of God in their lives but they are not ready to labour for it. Laboring in the word of God is simply studying to know the truth of the word of God. 

Apostle Paul told Timothy to study to show himself approved to God ( 2 Timothy 2:15). It is said in Colossians 3:16 that the word of God should be rich in us. But this takes some measure of labour. So many Christians today cannot explain a verse in the Bible but can narrate all films in town. Some don’t search the scripture at all not to talk of having interest to go for Bible study or school. That is not only meant for the pastors but for everyone who wants to grow strong in the Lord and enter his rest. The Berea church was known for this (Acts 17:10-12). 

From now when you contact a scripture either in church or personal study time, search to know it more. Study it to gain more understanding of it and you will be strong in faith. You will have rest over what trouble others. It is knowledge that makes strong (Proverbs 24:5). Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me love for your word. 

“THE MORE YOU KNOW THE STRONGER YOU WILL BE”

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.
