  GIFT AND GRACE Romans 12:3-8 Devotional:- “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith”(V. 6) NIV   One of the means through which we can demonstrate our love to others is by using the grace and the gifts that are in our lives. As a child of God, you are privileged to enjoy two levels of gifts. The first are the talents and gifts. The second are the gifts of the Holy Spirit. There is no one who is not talented in one area or the other. It may be to cook, sing, design, draw or write. It could also be in the area of sport or decoration. But as a child of God, there is another dimension of gifts in your life given by the Holy Spirit. These are gifts of prophecy, healing, knowledge, wisdom, working of miracles, discernment of spirit, diverse tongues or interpretation of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:6-10). If you don’t know that you have any of this gift, it is because you have not care...

GREAT REWARD

GREAT REWARD

Daniel 12:1-10
Devotional – Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever (v. 3) NKJV

    Often time people think anytime we are given an instruction from the word of God it must be for the benefit of the Church or the Christian religion. It is important you stop thinking Christianity is a religion. What confuses people are not always lies but half truth. Half truth is still not the truth. The truth is that God is not into religion and Christianity is not a religion. It is a life of relationship with God. God always look out for relationship with man (Genesis 3:8; John 4:23). That is what He made us for. He wants to live with man forever (Revelation 21:3).

In His eternal plan, He desires that every man who will live eternally with Him should be like Him in character, attitude and beauty (Genesis 1:26). When He send us to win souls, He intend that we recognise we are His ambassador to the world (2 Corinthians 5:20). He expect that we do this deliberately. He expect that we live in righteousness to give quality representation to His kingdom before whoever we are meeting. That way we also deliberately walk in righteousness.

This qualify us for His blessing of righteousness here on earth (Psalm 5:12). That is why the Bible says our feet shall be beautified as soul winners (Romans 10:15). This qualifies us for His eternal righteous heaven (Daniel 12:3). The word of God  says those who turn many to righteousness will shine as stars of heaven. 

Friend, these are great rewards waiting for soul winners. Be deliberate about it. Go out daily trusting God to positively influence someone for Christ and His kingdom. Not until you preach the Bible but this is by your Character and your Conversations with people (Colossians 4:6). Our character and conversation speaks volumes about who we are. Surely your reward will come in Jesus name

Prayer: Lord, help me to be deliberate in influencing others for your kingdom

“YOU ARE EITHER AN INFLUENCE POSITIVELY OR BEEN INFLUENCED NEGATIVELY”

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.
