  USING WHAT GOD GIVES YOU Romans 12:3-8 Devotional:- “So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another” (V.5) God who has made each of us and expect us to make the best use of what he has given us. Instead of envying others’ SHAPE, He wants you to be happy using the one he has given you. Your first step for been the best with your shape is to locate as many as possible gifts and special abilities in your life. Make a list out of them and ask which of them you have seen result and others do confirm (Ephesians 5:17). The best way to discover your best is by excising them in serving God, and then you will discover your good area in life. To know what you can best do to serve God by blessing humanity, observe your personality and your passion which is your heart desire (Galatians 6:4). Ask yourself what do I really enjoy doing most? What do I really feel fulfilled doing? Examine the lesson you’ve learnt in your experiences in life. (Deuteronomy 11:2)...

PEACEFUL BLESSING

PEACEFUL BLESSING

Joshua 7:16-26
Devotional:- When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. And there they are, hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver under it.” (V. 21)

   God demonstrated His mighty power and delivered the children of Israel from the hand of the Egyptians, bringing them to their promise land. But as soon as they took over the promise land, a small nation defeated them in battle and they were embarrassed.

They didn’t know that one man had just wrongly acquired wealth among them which pitched God against them. Then God allowed their enemies to defeat them. When an enquiry was made, Achan was discovered to have taken and hidden what God said they should not touch. He wanted to be smart enough to get rich quick, not knowing that that is the way of destruction (Proverbs 14:12).

Today, the blessing some people are gathering is from the one they have used “bold face” to get. They terrorize others to get wealth. People seem to have taken evil blessing to be a good one. Not many want to labour genuinely to make it. Shrewd people devise ways of defrauding others what they have laboured for. A family or nation who is diligent will enjoys the blessing of God. God’s blessing comes with peace and prosperity. You don’t need to fight anyone to get it. God’s blessing came when you get involved in genuine business that brings a peaceful blessing (Proverbs 10:22). Achan ended up in destruction. Don’t follow such path, face your business with godly wisdom and heaven will prosper you.

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from sinful and deadly blessing.

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.
