VALUE YOURSELF 1 Peter 2:1-10  Devotional:- “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” (V. 9) NKJV If anyone is going to enjoy the love of God, he must see himself as lovely. One of the ways for someone to see themselves as lovely is by valuing themselves. You need to know that of all the creatures of God, not only on earth but also in heaven, you are the most special. According to the word of God, there is no other creature that is as valuable as you are. You are the reason for the labour of the devil (1 Peter 5:8). You are the envy of the demons. You are the envy of the angels. A great percentage of the angels are serving the heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:14). The scripture we read today calls you a chosen one. That is, among the multitude, God selected you out for Himself. You are a royal priesthood, that is, you are a kingly priest...

FORCES OF CHANGE

Scripture Reading: Act 16:23-34
Devotional:- Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed. (V. 26) NKJV


    In the course of our journey on earth, we are bound to face challenges (John 16:33). This is because for every action there will always be a reaction. But Jesus instructs us that we should not allow the reactions to intimidate us. We should rather rejoice all through (James 1:2). In praises, we will employ the forces of God for our change.

Paul and Silas were greatly resisted in Macedonia. They were terribly persecuted. They were beaten with strives and they were put into a prison. It was a terrible experience, just for preaching the gospel. At midnight, they prayed and later began to sing. This is a heart that is not offended in God. (Matthew 11:6). Because they were singing praises, the Lord stepped into the prison, there was an earthquake, the prison doors were opened and everyone’s bound were loosed.

Friend, instead of murmuring in that situation turn to praises. Praises will bring the presence of God to rescue you (Psalm 22:3). Praises put the dominion of God over your enemy. Where God is presence the enemy will bow out and your troubles will vanish (Psalms 97:5). God's presence come as we choose to praise the Lord and your situation will change for good. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to keep praising you for my freedom.

“IF YOU CAN BRING GOD IN, THERE WILL BE A CHANGE “

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 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.
