TAKE THE LOWLY PLACE  Luke 14:7-14 Devotional:- But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you.

But do you know that honour is better than shame? When some people are invited to occasion, oftentimes think they are so important and expecting too much honour only to earn shame in return. When you are invited to any occasion, dress well but humble yourself; you are not to be the most important. Don’t begin to think you are the only person there. Be willing to sit in the low place.

RESPECTING OTHERS

Ephesians 5:21-33
Devotional:- "Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband."   (V.33)

    In any type of relationship, respect is reciprocal. If you don't respect people, they will not also respect you (1 Samuel 2:30). Being rude is a sign of immaturity. When you talk to anyone in a rude or without manner, you will receive the same thing back. These can even happen between parents and children. The word of God instructs parents not to talk to their children with resentment or anger (Ephesians 6:4).

The word of God specifically instructs us to respect each other in our relationship (1 Peter 3:7; Ephesians 5:33). To respect means to regard, to honour, to prefer each other than someone else. It means to esteem each other and not to put others down. As a woman or a staff, you need to refer some decisions to your husband or leader respectfully.

The word of God also instructs husbands or leaders to also relate with people under them with honour (1 Peter 3:7). In the family, each one must be given his/her own respect. This is the character of love. Familiarity or status does not canceled respect for each other. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to respect all around me.

“When there is no respect, there will be no respect”

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.

  DOMINION   Psalms 8:1-9 Devotional:- “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV      At creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6; Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God (Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to be in charge of all creation.
