  HOW REAL SERVANTS ACT Mark 10:35-45 Devotional:- “Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant” (V. 43).   The world defines greatness in terms of power, possessions, prestige and position but God determined your greatness by how many people you serve. This is quite contrary to the world view. Jesus called Himself servant and to be like Him is to be a servant. That is why it is so important to have a servant’s heart. God often test our heart by asking us to serve even outside our shape or area of interest. Your priority area of service should be in your area of shape, but God could demand for your service wherever needed. Looking at how a servant act is important because one could serve in a church for years and not be a real servant. Real servants make themselves available to serve. If you only serve when it is convenient, then you are not a good servant (2 Timothy 2:4). Real servants pay attention to needs, always lo...

FAILURE FROM THE INSIDE

FAILURE FROM THE INSIDE

Matthew 26:14-16 NKJV
Devotional:- and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?” And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. (V. 15)

    It is important you come to know that if a man is not successful in his heart he cannot be successful in this world. It is first in the heart then it will manifest outside. The greatest frustration of this world is people trying to achieve outside what they are not inside. If a man does not have the faith for success in his heart, no matter what he has he will feel like a failure. So he will desire for more, thinking by getting more he will be successful.

Judas Iscariot was the treasurer of the ministry of Jesus. The Bible told us he used to steal from the purse. But that was not enough he still went ahead demanding for money to betray Jesus. He never felt successful. He always feels he needs more till he killed himself (Matthew 27:3-10).

Friend, success is not what you have but what but who you are. If you are not a success you cannot attain it. Whatever you gather will escape because your heart is not up to it. Stealing or embezzling is because people are failure in their heart (Matthew 6:25-27). Successful people command success because it is from within. So it is first inside then outside. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, give me a heart of success

“A heart of failure will spend eternity looking for success”.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
