  STAND IN 1 Timothy 2:1-7  Devotional:- “Here are my directions: Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all he is going to do for them.” (v.1) TLB . When God lifts a man, such a man must have enjoyed the intercessory ministry of others. It is part of the principle of God for us to receive (Matthew 7:7). This is because He does not want to break into our free will and damage our choice. He does not want to break into our decision. That is why we say it sometimes when an event happens, "Did God not see it?” Until He is asked to do something, He finds it difficult to do it. Rather, if He wants to promote a man and the man is not aware, He will touch other people to pray for him.  That is why you and I must also be willing to pray and stand in the gap for others. Paul was instructing Timothy and all of us as members of the body of Christ to pray for others. There are so many people around you who need one thing or another. Even though you ca...

REGRETS

Luke 16:1-4
Dev: “"Then the steward said within himself, 'What shall I do? For my master is taking the stewardship away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.” (v. 3)

  Stewardship teaches us that every act of unfaithfulness or irresponsibility in our current opportunities will be regretted. This is because unfaithfulness in every opportunity will lead to loss of such opportunity. No matter how great or small you think the opportunities are, when it is lost, it leads to regret.

Man often wants to relax when they are having some good opportunities. We sometimes get so used to what we are doing that it loses value to us. This could makes someone feel even if they lose it, it will not matter. I have seen people in enviable opportunities which becomes common to them and when they lose it, they could not amount to anything again in life. Remember the prodigal son (Luke 15:17-18).

Friend, what you are looking down on today may be a big stewardship opportunity that the Lord has given you. Please know that God is watching all you are doing. If you will not regret it, then humble yourself and be grateful to God. Become faithful to God and your leaders. Don't envy others. Celebrate what God has given you, value that family, business or ministry. Don't throw away your goods for others. There is nothing bad that cannot be good, if someone good will work on it. Peace.

PRAYER- Lord reveal the value of my opportunities to me.

“TO THE UNFAITHFUL, OPPORTUNITIES ARE NOT VALUED TILL THEY ARE LOST”

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.
