  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

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.
