ENVY NO ONE

  ENVY NO ONE Genesis 37:1-11  Devotional:- “And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.” (V.11) NKJV For a man to enjoy God’s love being wonderfully demonstrated to him, he must constitute a habit of not envying anyone. This is the reason why many cannot demonstrate genuine love to others. It is time you begin to understand that your value is not comparable. Envy is an emotional act people put on when they feel someone is better than them. Envy is always the mother of negative jealousy. It breeds bitterness and pushes people to commit all kinds of crimes. Some people’s reason for being armed robbers is that since they could not make it legitimately, they must go and get it by force from the hands of those who have made it. The truth is that there is no one who cannot make it. The problem with Joseph’s brother was that they did not know the truth of the word of God. As children of Abraham, all of them are already pronounced as successful in life. Josep...

OUR DIFFERENT ABILITIES

OUR DIFFERENT ABILITIES

Matt 25:14-19
Dev “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)

    Sometimes we get disturbed when we see someone doing better than us in life. We sometime feel God is partial. This is the mentality that made people organize robbery. This is because they feel so, so and so are getting better than them. So they feel they should rather go and take their share. This will always bounce back and result to zero.

It is important we come to know that our level today determines what God allows us to access. There is no one to be blamed than us. If we want more we therefore have to improve our capacity (Luke 16:10-12). The capacity of each and everyone is his/her limitation. The scripture says each one is given according to his own ability.

Friend, one of the vital assignment we have on earth is to increase our capacity. Our capacity is what we can receive and retain. Anything given to a man more than his ability will be wasted. You cannot force 50cl liquid into 35cl container. We increase our capacity and ability by learning and using the knowledge we have leant by wisdom. Move close to people you know that are better than you. Be teachable and learn and you will keep increasing your capacity (Revelation 13:20, Proverbs 24:5)

PRAYER- Lord, help me to be committed to self-development.

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.
