  GRATITUDE Malachi 2:1-5 Devotional:- “if you do not listen, and if you do not set your heart to honor my name,” says the Lord Almighty, “I will send curse upon you, and l will curse your blessings. Yes I have already cursed them, because you have not set your heart to honor me.” (V. 2) NIV In such a period like this one of the things God expects from you and me ls that we should be grateful unto Him. It is a great thing that the Lord has kept us to See the end of another year. You need to know that countless number of people have been swallowed by death in the year. Even if many things are yet to be where you expected them to be, death will never be a better option for you and your family. God has kept you because He still has a good plan for you. He still sees a great future ahead of you. So be grateful. In the scripture we read today God expected the priest of which you are one (I Peter 2:9) to be grateful unto Him but they did not, so He cursed their blessings. May your blessi...

YOUR HEART 

Deuteronomy 11:8-17
Dev:- “'And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,” (v. 13)

    God has given each man a unique heart to be used in our stewardship. The term heart represents our soul where our desires, hope, interest, dreams, affections, passion and all our motivations are made. It’s what determines what you love to do and what you care about most (Proverbs 27:19). It determine what you say and why you say them (Matthew 12:34). Deep in our instinct is what make us think of and care for something of interest than others. Some things turn you on and others bore you. God gives you this inborn interest for a purpose. All of these reveals your heart and shows where we ought to serve the Lord. 

 God wants you to use all these natural interest to serve Him in the area you are most passionate. It is only in your passionate areas you can excel. To know when you are serving with your heart is to observe you enthusiasm when serving. You will be doing what you love to do and no one need to motivate you. Serving with your heart makes you enjoy what you are doing and you don’t need anyone to applause or pay you to do it. 

Secondly, you will know you are serving from the heart when you are effective in it. This is because when you are doing what God wired you to do you become good at it (1 Samuel 16:18). Please find out what you enjoy doing and use it to serve the Lord. It is your stewardship. Peace

Prayer: Lord, reveals my heart to me for your glory

“WHATEVER YOUR HEART PRODUCES YOU HAVE ETERNAL STRENGTH TO PERFORM”

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.

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
