  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...

WAITING ON HIM FOR DIRECTION

WAITING ON HIM FOR DIRECTION

Proverbs 3:1-8
Devotional:- "In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths". (V. 6)

    Every son and daughter of God that wants to succeed must understand the aspect of waiting on God for direction. The reason we have to wait on him for direction is because we know that his ways are way of peace (Proverbs 3:17).  Stepping out without direction is laying foundation for frustration. That is why a submissive child of God will always allow God to guide his/her ways. The word of God says we should not depend on our own understanding. In other words, we should not think we know all things. So we are wise when we allow our creator to lead us (Matthew 7:24)

This is not that we don’t have brain but we can make mistake. It is wisdom and humility to allow divine direction (Psalm 25:9-14). Every child of God must therefore learn to wait on God for direction even in little matters. That helps you to cultivate waiting on the Lord as a habit or make it a lifestyle.

Every man has secret to his success. Friend, your success lies in you making God part of your life. Don’t keep claiming to know enough. Too know will lead to too many failure. Humble yourself to act in wisdom. Following people in most cases will lead you astray. People in this part of the world rather follow money than follow wisdom. Leadership of men will take you up a little but God will lift you up forever (1 John 2:17). Get used to asking Him in humility and He will always lead you. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to be humble to ask for your leading.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). 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.
