  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...

THE PAST

Isaiah 43:16-21
Devotional:- "Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old” (v. 18)

    One of the enemy of a heart of praise is inability to overcome the past. This problem affect some people because of a long time stagnancy in the time of low state. That is why we must be careful not to internalize anything that is happening to us. That is, we must not allow any negative situation to be part of our mentality. Whatever we internalize becomes part of our lives (Proverbs 23:7).

God's word says “we should forget the former thing” The word of God says “He is doing a new thing for you. That is why you must receive grace to let go of the past and praise God into your future. What God is about to do for you is far greater than your imagination. Apostle Paul said “I forget the past and rich out to better tomorrow (Philippians 3:13) 

Whatever that had happened has happened. The past is irreparable. If you will not keep suffering under your past memories, you need to let it go and give praises to God that is able to give you a totally changed life. Keep giving Him praises for what you are expecting. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me grace to overcome the negative memories of the past.

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.
