VALUE YOURSELF 1 Peter 2:1-10  Devotional:- “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” (V. 9) NKJV If anyone is going to enjoy the love of God, he must see himself as lovely. One of the ways for someone to see themselves as lovely is by valuing themselves. You need to know that of all the creatures of God, not only on earth but also in heaven, you are the most special. According to the word of God, there is no other creature that is as valuable as you are. You are the reason for the labour of the devil (1 Peter 5:8). You are the envy of the demons. You are the envy of the angels. A great percentage of the angels are serving the heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:14). The scripture we read today calls you a chosen one. That is, among the multitude, God selected you out for Himself. You are a royal priesthood, that is, you are a kingly priest...

PREFERING OTHERS​

PREFERING OTHERS​ 

Philippians 2:1-4
Devotional:- "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself".   (V.3)

    This is the way of love that we look at other better ourselves. We live in a world where everyone wants to blow their own trumpet. Everyone wants to proof that they are someone. Everyone wants to proof that he is better than others. This way, we become selfish and competitive.

The character of love is different from the character of the world. The character of love is the character of God and not of man. The book of the love of God instructs us to esteem others, consider others and regard others more than yourself. This is not just in words but in thinking. In other words, God want this to be out mindset or our mentality.

This is not in any way reducing your ability or capacity. But it helps you to become the best. This helps you to become the best because, when you have not put yourself first and has first honour others than yourself, you stand the chance of people thinking less of you. But when you take the stage, you become the best. This will always qualify you for lifting. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the wisdom of putting others first.

“Putting yourself first may put you last when other come up”

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.
