  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...

LIVING IN THE WORD

LIVING IN THE WORD

Psalm 119:91-105
Devotional:- "Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path". (V. 105)

    Children of God are those who live in the word of God. To live in the word of God is to live as acting the word, as expecting the word to manifest in your life. It is making the word your hope and expectation. It is to live daily to fulfil the word of God. It is to make the word of God your mind set or your thinking pattern.

Remember Jesus said you are in the world but you are not of the world (John 17:14). You belong to another Kingdom that is not of this world. If all you think is according to this world, then you may not really be a believer. A believer in Christ is the one that has been changed from living in the world to living in the word of God.

To be able to live in the word of God, you must know the word of God. This comes by careful daily study of the word. Then it becomes part of you and your experiences (Joshua 1:8). To be able to live in the word of God, you must accept and celebrate the word (Psalm 119:162). The word becomes your joy. You must take delight in the word and love the word (Psalms 1:2). Then your life will be a manifestation of the promises of the word of God. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to live daily in your word.

“What excites you is what you live in”.

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.
