  HOW REAL SERVANTS ACT Mark 10:35-45 Devotional:- “Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant” (V. 43).   The world defines greatness in terms of power, possessions, prestige and position but God determined your greatness by how many people you serve. This is quite contrary to the world view. Jesus called Himself servant and to be like Him is to be a servant. That is why it is so important to have a servant’s heart. God often test our heart by asking us to serve even outside our shape or area of interest. Your priority area of service should be in your area of shape, but God could demand for your service wherever needed. Looking at how a servant act is important because one could serve in a church for years and not be a real servant. Real servants make themselves available to serve. If you only serve when it is convenient, then you are not a good servant (2 Timothy 2:4). Real servants pay attention to needs, always lo...

THANKSGIVING

Scripture Reading: Psalms 107:21-31
Devotional:- "Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!" (V. 21) NKJV

    To be thankful to the Lord is to appreciate Him for all His wonderful works in our lives. One of the things that brings stagnancy to the life of men is when God is not appreciated for what He is doing. When a man is not thankful it is because the devil has successfully blindfolded him to the goodness of the Lord. That is why you must not allow this to happen to you.

Sincere thanksgiving is a high level of maturity that God and man appreciate. When you can be thankful, you are simply realizing how good God has been to you. This usually turn God on to do more for such person. When you are thankful, you are helping the effectiveness of the forces of God that is participating to do to you the good God is doing in your life. 

Friend, you need to humble yourself to always give God thanks. This is for what He is doing and for what you are trusting Him to do (Romans 4:20-21; John 6:10-11). This is one of the level of maturity God expect you to attain to qualify you for more in your life. It is as you appreciate the small thing, that the bigger ones will come (Zechariah 4:10). Stop comparing yourself with others (2 Cor. 10:12). Just be mature to thank Him always (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Don't wait till Service time. And God will make you experience His blessings (Psalms 67:5-7). Peace

PRAYER: Lord, give me a humble spirit to be thankful 

“A THANKFUL HEART IS QUALIFIED FOR MORE”

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.
