  HOW REAL SERVANTS ACT Mark 10:35-45 Devotional:- “Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant” (V. 43).   The world defines greatness in terms of power, possessions, prestige and position but God determined your greatness by how many people you serve. This is quite contrary to the world view. Jesus called Himself servant and to be like Him is to be a servant. That is why it is so important to have a servant’s heart. God often test our heart by asking us to serve even outside our shape or area of interest. Your priority area of service should be in your area of shape, but God could demand for your service wherever needed. Looking at how a servant act is important because one could serve in a church for years and not be a real servant. Real servants make themselves available to serve. If you only serve when it is convenient, then you are not a good servant (2 Timothy 2:4). Real servants pay attention to needs, always lo...

FAITH   

1 Samuel 17:23-32
Devotional:- "Then David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?” (V. 26)

A major factor of strength in every man is faith. Faith is a product of the revelation of the word of God to our spirit man (Romans 10:17). Without faith, no man will rise to achieve anything. Most people envy a successful man but are not always ready to pay the price. Faith is the compulsion in your spirit man to step out.

Faith is the Holy Spirit activating strength in you to carry out the counsel of God. David was been instigated by the Holy spirit through the revelation of the word of God. So he kept repeating the word to himself. “Who is this uncircumcised philistine to defile the army of the living God”? It is the stimulation of this word that pushes David on to action of rising to overcome.

Friend, don’t just keep praying. Prayer is also an avenue to contact the revelation of the power of God (Jeremiah 33:3). In prayer, God shows us the way out. That is why we should be very sensitive to know what God want us to do. Meditating in the word of God also stimulate us with revelation to arise in faith (Daniel 9:1-3). By faith David steps out to terminate Goliath the enemy of God’s people. Stop being afraid to launch out. Meditate to access revelation of His word and you will have faith to rise.

Prayer: Lord, release the faith in me to arise

“NO FAITH, NO RISING, NO RISING, NO SUCCESS”

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
