  DESIGNED TO SERVE GOD Psalm 139:13-18 Devotional:- “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!” (V. 16 NLT)   God designed and formed you to fit into what He wants you to do to serve Him. The intended function determines the form of a building, so also your life. You are the way you are because you were made for specific ministry (Ephesians 2:10) Our scripture today simply means nothing that happens in your life is insignificant. God will never waste any ability unless He intend to use it for His glory (1 Peter 2:9) Before God will give you any assignment, He must have packaged you for it. This packaging is what we call shape (Jeremiah 1:5). Let us look at the meaning of each letter in your shape. The ‘S’ represents Spiritual gifts. These are special God-empowered abilities for serving Him, giving only to believers (1 Cor. 2:14). These gift cannot be bought because they are given by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:11). We are to use them to benefit on...

HELPING OTHERS TO GROW

HELPING OTHERS TO GROW

Ephesians 5:25-33
Devotional:- "that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word". (V. 26)

    A major reason God brings people together, either in groups, fellowship, or marriage is that we might help each one to grow. So mature person don't put on the negative in relationship but help others to grow. A relationship where people are not growing, they will be groaning.

To help each other grows demand so much of maturity and patience. The word of God says “that we may be certified and cleansed”. This will demand understanding the weaknesses and strength of each one to know why people behave the way they do. If we keep getting angry at each other, we will not be able to help ourselves. If we try to avoid each other, we will only postponed the good. 

To help each other grow and be better, we need to understand that human being are spirit who lives in a body. So you need a word of the Spirit to get to their heart for a true change. That is why the Bible says”we can cleanse people by the washing of the water through the word. Please, create time of fellowship where the word of God can be shared. Pray before you share the word. It is the work of the Holy Spirit. You can hardly change any one (Zechariah 4:6; Hebrews 4:12). Shouting or fighting or being angry does not. The Holy Spirit can change anyone when we do our part to create the atmosphere of peace and love.

PRAYER: Lord, make me an instrument of change for others.

“IF PEOPLE DON’T CHANGE FOR BETTER AROUND YOU THEN YOU NEED TO CHANGE“

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.
