TAKE THE LOWLY PLACE  Luke 14:7-14 Devotional:- But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you.

But do you know that honour is better than shame? When some people are invited to occasion, oftentimes think they are so important and expecting too much honour only to earn shame in return. When you are invited to any occasion, dress well but humble yourself; you are not to be the most important. Don’t begin to think you are the only person there. Be willing to sit in the low place.

RELATIONSHIP

Scripture: 1 John 3:10-20

Devotional:- “We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death” (v.14) NKJV

    A major area that a child of God should grow and be mature in is the ability to handle relationship with other people. Our ability to relate maturely with others goes a long way to determine how much we are growing like Christ. The Bible says “Jesus was growing in favour with God and man” ( Luke 2:52). This is maturity in relationship.

Growing in our ability to relate is a product of our growing the character of Christ and practice relationship  with other believers. We cannot stay alone and grow in relationship. This is a major benefit of fellowshipping with children of God. If anyone is excusing him/herself from fellowshipping with other believer, he/she will not grow in relationship.

 It demands growth in character and attitude of Christ. Tolerance, endurance, patience with others and understanding. It demands our ability to forgive when people offends us. As we grow in relationship, it get to a level that people can no longer offend us. When Jesus was been crucified, He was asking for forgiveness for the people murdering Him. This is a very high level of maturity. This way, you will enjoy your everyday life with people. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, teach me to relate with all men

“Maturity in relationship makes you have peace with all”.

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.

  DOMINION   Psalms 8:1-9 Devotional:- “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV      At creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6; Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God (Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to be in charge of all creation.
