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.

UNFORGIVING

UNFORGIVING

SCRIPTURE: Matthew 6:5-15
DEVOTIONAL:- “But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (Vs. 15)

    Whenever we can’t forgive our fellow brethren, we sin against God. It is very important for us to know that sin hinders our access to the answers of our prayers from the Lord (Psalms 66:18). An unforgiving spirit disallows the liberty of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. It also prevent God from perfecting His work in our lives.

Unforgiving is keeping someone in your heart because he hurts or offends you. It is holding back your love from such people which gives rise to hatred, bitterness and malice. The Bible instructs that we should not allow bitterness to spring up in our hearts for any reason (Hebrews 12:15).

There is no one who cannot be hurt. Sometimes, the hurt can be deeper at different occasions, yet we must forgive and let go as children of God. The reason is that, if we are unforgiving, God will not answer our prayers. It can get so bad that God will also not forgive us. 

When you don’t forgive a child, you put his reward as well as God's reward on hold. To learn forgiveness is to ask for the grace to forgive in prayers and to pray for those who has offended you (Luke 23:34). Whenever you pray for people who have hurt you, you’ve forgiven them (Matt. 5:44). As you do this, your prayers will not be hindered. Peace! 

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to always forgive people who offends me.

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.
