COMPARISM

  COMPARISM 2 Corinthians 10:7-18 Devotional:- “Oh, don't worry; we wouldn't dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!” (v.12) NLT. Man, by his complexity, sometimes creates complications for himself in life. One of the things we often do incorrectly is to measure our lives by comparing them to other people’s lives. We often forget that we are sent for a different purpose, so our goals and objectives cannot be the same. There is nothing wrong with trying to gauge your level of performance against others in the same field. But it will be completely wrong for you to determine whether you are a failure or a success by the life of another man. Paul, the apostle of Christ, knows that his own purpose and program are from the Lord and are different from what others have been given. For example, if some apostles were marr...

GOD IN US

1 Corinthians 3:9-17
Devotional:- “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”  (V. 16)

   It is very important that you as a Spirit filled believer get to know that God is in you. The Holy Spirit has been given to us to abide in us (John 14:16). Since the day you welcome Jesus into your life, and He came in, the Holy Spirit has been at work in you (1 Corinthians 12:3). When a believer is baptized with the Holy Spirit, He comes in His fullness to indwell. That is why the Holy Spirit is God in us.

It therefore become an issue that needs to be queried because if God be in you, why do you now go through all kinds of pain? This is simply because you have not given Him His place in your life. You have not allowed Him to function in you. He does many times participated in your lives affairs, but you did not even know because you do not know Him. If He is allowed consciously, you will be a thousand times different.

To start enjoying the Holy Spirit at work in you demands that you start to fellowship with Him. Create time to worship the Father regularly in the Spirit (John 4:24). Always communicate with Him by asking for His help and direction (John 14:16). Then, you will start to see His power at work in you and with you. Peace.

PRAYER: Holy Spirit, help me to be revived by relating with you.

“GOD IN YOU IS THE HOPE OF GREATNESS”

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

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.

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.
