WILLING SACRIFICES

  WILLING SACRIFICES 1 Chronicles 29:1-9 Devotional:‐ “Then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a loyal heart they had offered willingly to the LORD; and King David also rejoiced greatly” (v.9) NKJV Generations of men have always misunderstood giving. To them it looks like they are reducing when God is asking them to give. Also, most people have not come to the understanding that we are creatures made to find fulfilment only when we give. You need to observe that orange is a waste when no one suck it. Also, life will be a waste when it benefits no one. If you really want joy, one of the strongest sources is a sense of fulfilment (sense of success). And this can only come when you have joyfully given unto the Lord or others (2 Timothy 4:6). That is, when you have willingly flowed out to others. The people we read about today were challenged to give willingly to the work of the Lord. And this brought them great joy. See, the greatest moment of your life ...

MODEST TALK

MODEST TALK

1 Corinthians 4:6-13
Devotional:- "For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?" (V.7)

    When love is talking, he does it modestly and not with boast. To boast is to talk arrogantly. It is to blow ones trumpet. It is to proudly talk about ones achievements. A boaster always wants to prove that he is somebody which he needs not to boast about. There is nothing wrong in talking about your achievements but it has to be done in a matured manner with modesty and not in pride. To boast is not maturity and in most cases it is because of sense of security.

Wherever you find people that boast, there can be no sincerity of love. There will rather be unhealthy rivalry. To always talk with a heart of love, you must humble yourself to know that whatever you have is not really yours because God gave them to you and you will give account of them (2 Corinthians 4:7). You must realize that all you have is a privilege and not a right. Please know that if anyone is bragging, it is a sign of sense of insecurity and immaturity. You need to know that boasting is lording self over other (Mark 10:42-43).

Friend, if you keep talking like the owner of the world, people will resent and resist you because you are not saying the truth. As a teacher or a leader at home or in the public setting, people will not learn from you but resisting you when you talk boastfully. If you are modest in talking, you will have many follower (Proverbs 18:24). Peace.

PRAYER: Holy Spirit, help me to grow above boasting

“A boaster will loose friends, even in his house”
