PARENT OF THE GREAT

  PARENT OF THE GREAT Exodus 2:1-10 Devotional:- “So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months..” (V. 2) NKJV. Anything you see that is great in life was incubated by some great people. If you can see anyone becoming great in life, you can easily trace the history back to the parents. I found something funny in this world: everyone wants their children to be great, but they don't bother to raise them for this purpose. People are wise enough to raise chickens for different purposes – some for laying eggs and some for consumption – but few are raising children with the purpose of leadership. We often expect the children to just grow and be great by luck or chance. If you observe great people in the Word of God, you can easily trace it back to their parents. This you can see in the lives of Isaiah, Joseph, David and others. I think it will be funny to sow maize and expect to reap yams. Moses, as we read today, was born...

BE A BLESSING

BE A BLESSING

Scripture Reading: Mark 10:17-31
Devotional:- “Then Peter began to say to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You."”  (V. 28)

    A wonderful way to remain encouraged is by being a blessing. To be a blessing means, you encourage others with what you have. To be a blessing, is to sow the seed of grace into the life of others. A great number of people just don't know what to do with their lives. They just need a little push to move forward in life. Someone need to part with his time, energy, money, gift and special ability to lift up others.

Today, we talked about Peter, John and other disciples of Jesus as though we are talking about spirits, and not humans. God did tremendous things through them (Acts 19:11). This was because, they left all they have, they follow Jesus  and served Him. Peter asked Jesus about their reward and He told them, they will have hundred fold. God is looking for people He will use to reach out to others, let him find you. When you have the opportunity, be a blessing to others using what you have.

It's not a good thing to give out what you don't have or what is not yours. If God is asking us to bless others. He knows we are able. One of the major reasons He made you is to use you to bless others. You are saved to be a blessing (Genesis 12:2-3). Don't slack your hand when you are to be a blessing. Don't complain when it is time to give since your reward shall be multitude (Luke 5:1-11; Malachi 3:10-12; Galatians 6:7-10). Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, ordain me a blessing to my generation 

“A MAN IS EITHER A BLESSING OR A BURDEN”

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.
