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...

THE WAY TO MORE

THE WAY TO MORE 

Luke 16:9-13
Dev “Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?” (v. 11)

    Everyone in the world always want more in life. That is why the economist says, human wants are unlimited. It is a beautiful thing to keep increasing and becoming big in life. That is actually the plan of God for all his children (Proverbs 4:18) But this is not just automatic. There are principles that govern more in life.

 

Jesus said if a man is not faithful in life, how can he have more? (Luke 16:11). The principle of more is therefore in we having the character and attitude that is able to manage the little God has given to us. These attitude are self-control, self-discipline, diligence, faithfulness etc. This is the reason we should see ourselves as steward of in charge of the properties of God.

To be faithful in the little mean you are prudent and not wasteful. It means you are using God's resources in your life, not for selfish interest but for the purpose for which God gives you. It means you are using the resources so well that you are affecting others for good and making progress by the little. Stop complaining that what you have is little, start to make the best us of it (Zechariah 4:10) Then you will see God increasing you more and more (Matthew 25:28-29). Peace 

PRAYER- Lord, help me to always use your resources rightly.

“IF YOU ARE NOT OKAY WITH THE LITTLE, YOU ARE NOT READY FOR MORE”

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11).

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.
