  YOU ARE A MISSIONARY John 17:6-19 Devotional:- “As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. (V. 18 NLT) God is working all over the world and He has made you to be part of His work. It is the assignment of God for all Christians that is called Mission (2 Corinthians 5:20) Fulfilling your mission on earth is the fifth purpose of your life. Mission means been sent and every Christians is sent by the Lord (John 20:21). When we are saved, we become members of God’s family and the mission of Jesus becomes our mission.  Your mission is important and it is a continuation of the mission of Jesus. So to ignore it will be a sin (Matthew 28:19-20). It is important because it's a wonderful privilege (2 Corinthians 5:18). It is important because telling others about eternal life is the greatest thing you can do for them. That is why it's more important than any other job, achievements of goals you will ever reach in your lifetime. This is because you are connecti...

UNDERSTANDING OTHERS

1 Peter 3:1-7
Devotional:- "Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered".  (V.7)

    A major reason that can make us to live together in love is understanding each other. If we don't have the patience to understand others, we will conclude too early over issues and we may always be wrong. So, we need to identify areas we need to understand with people. Hasty decisions in relationship will always be wrong.

The character of true love is to let us understand that we are not wired the same way. Men are different from women. Some people are introverts while others are extroverts, some are inward and deep thinker (phlegmatic), others are outward, they have easy and sharp expression (Sanguine). Some are heady (choleric) and some enjoy working on details (Melancholic). These differences in our creation with our background make us, think and behave differently. It will take understanding for us to live together.

To live with each other with understanding, we must know that each one is created good (Genesis 1:31) Please understand that there is something good about each unique creation, though there may also be something not too good. Every nature has advantage and disadvantage. In understanding let us celebrate the good and keep praying and helping each other to grow in the disadvantage part. Please understand that others can not be like you. So tolerate them in maturity. Please understand that it will take time for people to grow or change so be patient because all change is possible. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, teach me to understand with others.

“Your understanding with people makes them to cooperate with you”

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

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.
