  UNDERSTANDING YOUR SHAPE Jeremiah 1:4-12 Devotional:- “I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” (V.5 NLT) As a people crated to serve the Lord, God has design each of us in a unique way to be able to serve Him. We are so uniquely created that no one can find your duplicate. If you don’t contribute your part to the body of Christ God will make a replacement. (Act 1:20).  Look at the meaning of your shape the letter “A” represents your SPECIAL ABILITY. These are special abilities and talents given to you from birth. It is important we come to know that all our special abilities come from God.(Rom 12:6 ). So many people often give excuses of not having any ability to serve God but research shows that each of us has variety of 500 to 700 abilities. You are able to take thousands of decision in a second and more so you are loaded with special abilities. Please know that every abilit...

ORIGINAL INTENTION

ORIGINAL INTENTION

Genesis 1:26-31
Devotional:- “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (V. 27) NKJV

    God expresses His intention for making man in His word. This intention is that man will have dominion over all He has made (Genesis 1:26). In His intention there is a need for man to be like God to be able to fulfil this intention. That is why God made man to be supreme to all other creation. Man needs to be higher in capacity to all other creation to be able to govern the earth. This is the reason man need to be like God.

The word of God says we are created In the image and likeness of God. This is how we are made. But sin reduces man to be less than his original creation (Romans 3:23). This likeness is in having the same spirit of God in us at creation (Genesis 2:7). This likeness is in character and attitude of God. This likeness is in being able to love in relationship.

Friend, Jesus came to restore this likeness to man that sin had stolen away. That is why everyone need to turn to God through the Lord Jesus. He is the image of God to us (Romans 8:29). We all need to give ourselves to learning from Christ through His word till we are conformed to His Image i.e. we become like Him (2 Corinthians 3:18), then you can truly take your place in destiny. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to submit myself to learning from you.

“UNTIL YOU ARE LIKE JESUS, YOU ARE NOT IN YOUR ORIGINAL STATE”

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.
