  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...

YOU CAN SUCCEED

YOU CAN SUCCEED

Judges 6:11-21
Devotional:- "Then the LORD turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?” (V. 14).

    Many people often look at success as something impossible for them. They live as slave to destiny writing off their chances of success. They have a look of failure and are not expecting a better tomorrow. This is a product of long time in the same situation. They have tried and tried to no avail. They seem to have concluded that success is impossible for them.

The angel of the Lord said to Gideon, go and conquer the Midianites. You are a mighty man of valour. The angel spoke according to the Grace he could see upon Gideon but Gideon saw himself as incapable and a failure. He does not have the right view of himself. He does not see what God can do through him (Philippians 4:13).

Friend, there is no one who cannot succeed. We only need to build up to succeed. We only need to work on our attitude and on our mind-set. He who made you did not make you to fail. He packaged you to be able to succeed. The success of others should not intimidate you or make you feel more like a failure. Your experiences are not to stop your life but to guide you out of failure (Hebrews 5:8). God allow you to go through all you’ve been going through is not to make you remain a failure. We are to learn from our failure experiences and grow. We are not to become Mr or Mrs Failure. If you can change your mind-set about yourself and learn right attitude toward life, you will succeed. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, give me the courage to believe in my ability to succeed.

“DON’T GIVE IN TO FAILURE FOR YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE”

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.
