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...

LADDER OF LIFTING

LADDER OF LIFTING 

Scripture Reading: Habakkuk 3:8-19
Devotional:- “The LORD God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer's feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills” (V. 19) NKJV


    Praises as it were, only truly come out of the mouth of the humble. Praises is not just singing. It is an act of humbling exhorting the Lord. It is not for those who want to please people or demonstrate that they are somebody. Singing with a good voice does not make you give praises to God. God sees your heart and not your mouth (1 Samuel 16:7).

When your heart is humble to give praises to God, you are creating a ladder for your lifting. This is because God has promised to lift up the humble (Matthew 18:4; Matthew 23:12). It is the pride of the heart that makes people get stagnated (Luke 14:11). God gives grace to the humble but move far away from the proud (James 4:6). That is why a praiseful believer will always enjoy lifting in all dimension.

Friend, this empty ego will take you to nowhere. Most people live their lives in pride to demonstrate to people that they are somebody. If you are somebody, you will not need to show it. Those who are somebody are really somebody. There is no need for show up. Those who show up are nobody. Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and you will be promoted (1 Peter 5:6). Some cannot kneel down for God because their clothes is more important. Start to praise the Lord from a humble heart. Then your lifting will be inevitable. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, give me a true humble heart to praise you.

“A HUMBLE PRAISE IS BETTER THAN THE BIGGEST CONCERT”

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.
