  RIGHT VIEW Matthew 25:14-30 Devotional:- “And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey” (V.15)  Please note that there is a way that you view life. The truth is that your view of life goes a long way to determine how you invest your time, money talents and value your relationships. People see life from different perspectives. Some sees life as up and down. Some see life as a game so they always play as it comes; some sees life as a place of party, so regular party becomes their priority. Those who see life as battle will have winning as their priority.  People expresses their view and value of life through their kind of cloths, jewelry, cars, hairstyle, tattoos or car stickers but how do God wants us to view life. From our scripture today Jesus gave a parable of how the kingdom of God is and how we should view life. He likened the kingdom of God to a man who is embarking o...

HUMILITY

Scripture Reading: James 4:1-10
Devotional:- Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. (V. 10) NKJV


    A person with a proud hearted cannot praise the Lord. Pride will not allow anyone to be qualify before the Lord. Pride is a function of overestimation of self, above the actual level of grace (Romans 12:3). A proud man will see praises as childish affairs and feel he cannot condescend so low to be jumping like a monkey in church in the name of praise (2 Samuel 6:20-23).

People become proud because they are not strong enough to manage their level and the level is controlling them. People become proud because they refuse to work over their unrealistic ego, so the ego will keep tormenting them in defeat and failure. Others become proud because they want to proof they are somebody, so they have to pretend to be who they are not (Proverbs 13:7).

Friend, God's word says “lifting comes by humility” (1 Peter 5:6). It will therefore be wrong to hinder your way to progress. God is not our classmates, so we have to praise Him as our creator, Lord, owner of our soul, the bridegroom of the bride, our saviour and our redeemer. See, your title does not open the door of His presence for you. Rather, it is your humility that will give you grace to access Him (James 4:6-7). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a humble heart for my lifting.

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.
