  BECOMING LIKE CHRIST Romans 8:18-30 Devotional:- “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the first born among many brethren” (V. 29) The third purpose of your life is to become like Christ. From the very beginning God intend to make man to be like Himself (Gen 1:26). So like God, we are made a spirit and our spirit lives the body. We are intellectual, we can think and solve problems. We are relational, i.e. we can give and receive love. We also have a moral conscience to discern right from wrong which make us accountable to God. God’s ultimate goal for you on earth is not comfort but character. He wants you to grow up and become like Christ. This does not mean losing your personality. Christlikeness is all about transforming your character and not your personality. Every time you forget that character development is the reason you are here you frustrate yourself. So, life is quite challenging because God is always attem...

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.

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.
