  MADE TO SERVE GOD 1 Corinthians 3:5-17 Devotional:- “For we are both God's workers. And you are God's field. You are God's building. (V.9 NLT) God put you on earth to make contributions and make a difference with your life. Another purpose of your life is to serve the Lord wherever you are. You are created to add to the earth and not just to take from it. This purpose of your life is called ministry or service. It is very important that you live in this consciousness, you were created to serve God (Ephesians 2:10). Wherever you are either in the school or in the office, be sure you are serving God and fulfilling your purpose.  God saved you to serve Him. Your work, business or academic is also a work and a service to the Lord (Ephesians 6:5-7). God redeemed you to do His holy work everywhere in your life. It is service that gives value to your life (2 Timothy 1:9). Ministry is not only for pastors but for all members of the body of Christ. We are not to sit and wait for h...

RESPONSIBILITY

RESPONSIBILITY​

1 John 3:11-17
Devotional:- "By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren". (V. 16).

    A major character of love is responsibility. This is been willing to pay the price for what we intend to enjoy in relationship. In relationship you are either a burden or a blessing. Each party in relationship must seek to contribute positively to the growth of their relationship. 

​Today billions of people are turning to God but God is also responsible to earn the best of man. Apart from protecting, providing or healing us, He gave His only son to die for our redemption (John 3:16). To be responsible is to respond with your ability. This mean there is something you can do, do it to be a blessing to others around you.

Friend, decide to be a blessing to your family especially your spouse and children. Be responsible at home in the office, in the church and in the community at large. Some people left their nation to come and preach the gospel to us before we know the Lord. We also should do the same at our level. When you desire to rise and take responsibility in your relationship God will start to give you the way to go about it. When it is in your heart God will put it in your hands. It takes responsibility to earn the best of relationship. Don’t keep giving excuses or keep explaining things. Do your best to be a contributor and not just a consumer. Arise! 

Prayer: Lord, make me a blessing to all around me. 

"You are either a burden or a blessing"

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 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.
