  MADE TO SERVE GOD 1 Corinthians 3:5-17 Devotional:- “For we are both God's workers. And you are God's field. You are God's building. (V.9 NLT) God put you on earth to make contributions and make a difference with your life. Another purpose of your life is to serve the Lord wherever you are. You are created to add to the earth and not just to take from it. This purpose of your life is called ministry or service. It is very important that you live in this consciousness, you were created to serve God (Ephesians 2:10). Wherever you are either in the school or in the office, be sure you are serving God and fulfilling your purpose.  God saved you to serve Him. Your work, business or academic is also a work and a service to the Lord (Ephesians 6:5-7). God redeemed you to do His holy work everywhere in your life. It is service that gives value to your life (2 Timothy 1:9). Ministry is not only for pastors but for all members of the body of Christ. We are not to sit and wait for h...

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.

“THE BIGGER YOU ARE THE MORE YOU WILL HAVE”

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.
