COMPARISM

  COMPARISM 2 Corinthians 10:7-18 Devotional:- “Oh, don't worry; we wouldn't dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!” (v.12) NLT. Man, by his complexity, sometimes creates complications for himself in life. One of the things we often do incorrectly is to measure our lives by comparing them to other people’s lives. We often forget that we are sent for a different purpose, so our goals and objectives cannot be the same. There is nothing wrong with trying to gauge your level of performance against others in the same field. But it will be completely wrong for you to determine whether you are a failure or a success by the life of another man. Paul, the apostle of Christ, knows that his own purpose and program are from the Lord and are different from what others have been given. For example, if some apostles were marr...

THINKING OTHERS

THINKING OTHERS

Psalms 8:1-9
Devotional:- "What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?." (V.4)

    What you keep thinking in your mind eventually becomes the determinant of the direction of your life. In other words, your dominant thought will always dominate your actions. If you don't put something at heart you can always forget to respond to such. When you learn to think well and the wellbeing of others, that is love.

Humanity has enjoyed so much of the love of God. All through the Bible, we see the love of God demonstrated towards man in all dimension. The king through the scriptures, I discover that the plan of God is to live eternally with men (Revelation 21:1-3). This intention is possible because God put man in His heart and He is always thinking about man.

Friend, it is important you learn to put the matter of people you purpose to love at heart. Think about house of the Lord if you love God (1 Chronicles 17:1). Do you love your family? Then create time to think about them. The same goes for the members of your church family. Don’t just go on thinking just about yourself alone. Consciously create time to do this. And you will be like your father in heaven. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me grace to have space for you and my loved ones in my heart

“Thinking of others makes you 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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.
