  JOYFUL COMPANION  Luke 1:37-45 Devotional:- “For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy” (v.44) NKJV We must know that sooner or later, we will always look like the people we are moving with. God’s word says, he that walks with the wise shall be wise and the companion of fools shall be destroyed (Proverbs 13:20). This means that what we gain from the surroundings of our associates has a very strong influence upon our life. If a man walks with people who don’t know or appreciate joy, he may not also experience joy. We read about the visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Since two of them carry unique children of divine significance, they both have the Spirit of God in them. This brings about a joyful effect. As soon as Elizabeth heard the voice of Mary, the baby leaped for joy. You therefore need to understand that the richest place you need to seek to be is where God’s children are gathe...

A STEWARD

A STEWARD

Colossians 1:24-29
Devotional verse: “of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God,” (v. 25)


    God want us to know that we are stewards in this world. Understanding this will make us walk rightly with God in this evil world. A major reason children of God don't live to please Him in all things is because they do not know that they are stewards.

It's important we come to know that all that is in this world belong to the Lord (Psalm 24:1). He made all things and own all things (John 1:3, Genesis. 1:1). He made both man and beast, both plants, water and even the rock. All He has done was to put man in charge of what He has made (Genesis 1:26-31). That is why both man and all that are in this world therefore belong to God.

As stewards we are put in charge to manage the affairs of this world for God. That is why it is expected of us to be faithful to God. A Steward is the one that is put incharge of another man’s property. All that we have still belong to Him (John 3:27, Matthew 25:14). That Is why God will not give us more than we can handle per time (Matthew 25:15). We should therefore keep it in mind that we shall give account of our stewardship one day before God (2 Corinthians 5:10). It is faithfulness in effective use of what he allow us to handle that leads to having more (Luke 16:10-12). That is why we must use all He gives to us, fearfully and diligently according to His instructions. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me clear understanding of my stewardship with you.

“LIVING CONSCIOUSLY OF YOUR STEWARDSHIP WILL LEAD TO YOUR PROMOTION”

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
