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...

YOUR GIFTS

1 Corinthians 12:1-11
Dev:- “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:” (v. 7)

    When we come to know the Lord, we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Part of the package of the Holy Spirit are the gift of the Spirit. The word of God says the Spirit gives them to each one as He wishes (1 Corinthians 12:11). That is why none of us can call it our own. It is called the gift of God.

I believe the word gift already suggest that it is kept in our charge. We are then a steward to manage it unbehalf of the owner (1 Corinthians 4:1). These gifts are for the edification and confort of the body of Christ (the church) (1 Corinthians 14:3). These gifts are divided to different groups. The first is revelational gifts. These are the gifts that makes us experience God’s revelation. They are the word of wisdom, word of knowledge and discerning of spirits. The second is the gift of power. They are gifts of faith, working of miracles and the gift of help. The third is the vocal or inspirational gifts. They are gifts of prophesy, diverse kind of tongue and interpretation of tongues.  

You can activate these gifts in your life by prayer and fasting and service to God. They can be activated when you are living by faith and worshipping the Lord. We have seen it in the Bible that they can be activated by men of God laying hands on you (2 Timothy 1:6). Remember they are for the edification and comfort of all. Please use them to minister to people in body of Christ. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, let your gifts manifest in me to make me a blessing.

“YOUR GIFT WILL CREATE YOUR VALUE WHEN YOU KEEP USING THEM”

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.
