  PROTECTING YOUR CHURCH’S FAMILY James 3:13-18 Devotional:- “Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace” (V. 18) Understanding that the second purpose of God for man is to belong to the church family, there is therefore a strong need for you to protect the unity of your church. Unity is the soul of fellowship. Nothing on earth is more valuable to God than the church because he paid the highest price for it and He wants to protect it. For you to be able to protect the unity of your church, you need to focus on what you have in common and not your differences (Rom 14:19). God wants unity and not uniformity. God made our differences and that should be respected. We must not let our differences divide us. To protect the unity of your church you must be realistic in your expectations from people. Don’t over expect. We need to give up the thought that the church should be perfect and admit that we all are not perfect people but people that wants to be perfec...

IN THEN OUT

Matthew 12:33-37
Devotional:- "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things". (V. 35)

    If anyone want to succeed, it is important that we realize that it has to be first built inside before it can truly manifest outside. Everyone wants the external manifestation of success but most people do not want to labour to build a life of success. Until your heart is qualified to succeed, pursuit of success will always be a frustration.

Jesus says, a good man bring forth good things out of his heart. This means our heart composition is the determinant of our level of success. Someone said the heart of the problem is the problem of the heart. Until your heart is rightly structured it will be a big issue to have a sustaining success. This is so because our heart is what determines our life. (Proverbs 23:7). It is our heart that is the engine of production of what we shall have in this world. If we have what we don’t have the heart capacity for, we are bound to lose it.

Friend, stop getting frustrated trying to control what you cannot control. Identify the needed character and start to labouring to attain the positive attitude that make you capable to handle it (Matthew 12:33). Labour to attain emotional balance, start to labour to always act positively. Labour to cultivate right habits of success in life. Labour to build success mindset. Labour to build right belief system and you will start to work in the part of success. God always release us into our success but it is our attitude and mind-set that often deny us access. When these are rightly put in place then success is inevitable. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to be humble to build inner character of 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.
