  CREATED TO RULE Genesis 1:26-31 Devotional:- “God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”” (V. 28) NIV The major purpose of creating man was to rule over the earth. This is because the purpose of a product is in the assignment given to it to carry out. The reason why God wanted us to rule the earth was to make us represent Him here, to disallow the enemy from ruling the earth. So our rulership was a delegation. It is very clear in the scripture, God’s manual of man, that we are created to rule. That is, to take over, take control and have dominion over the earth. A producer is only successful when the product serves the purpose of production. When authority is delegated to a man, it often comes with a measure of power and liberty to operate it.

FORGIVE AND FORGET

FORGIVE AND FORGET

Matthew 6:7-15
Devotional:- "But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses". (V. 15)

    In relationship, a major experience you cannot but do without is offending each other. It is just of human to offend others. We offend each other because of our differences and different view of live. We offend each other because of our weaknesses and our inability to accommodate others.

The word of God teaches us to forgive each other, without that God will not also forgive us. Though, we easily claim that we have forgiven people, but we really don't easily forget. When we struggle to remove our heart from an offense, we have not really overcome it and we can not claim to have forgiven. The memory of the offense can still hurt us.

So, to be able to forgive and forget, you must know that it is a sign of weakness on your side that issues get too hard on you. So, take care of yourself, you also need to know that we view things from different angles and each one try to approve his or her own view, yet, that is not always true. So, mature people consider the view of others. In any way, when we are offended, let's talk about it and apologize to each other. Where that is not possible, let us try to pray for our offender and over time, we will forgive and forget.

PRAYER: Lord, give me grace to forgive and forget.

“There is always a lesson to learn in people offending us”

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.
