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.

BITTERNESS

Scripture Reading: Hebrew 12:12-17
Devotional:- “looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;” (V. 15)

    It is in the agenda of the enemy of God and man to drive everyone into bitterness of soul. This is because he knows that no bitter soul can enjoy a sweet life. Bitterness of soul is when a soul is filled up with all kind of negative and wrong information. This could be about people, event or a place. A person with a bitter soul assumes that everything and everyone is bad or wrong to him/her.

The word of God instruct us not to allow the root of bitterness in us. This is by identify the seed and disallow the seed in us. The seed of bitterness are negative words of fear and doubts. They are words of hopelessness and confusion. They are sowed when we become jealous and envious of others. It is sowed when you cannot handle others’ progress and we see yourself as not. It is sowed when we struggle with forgiveness or can't let go people. It is sowed when we are proud. It is sowed when we allow a sense of inferiority complex.

Friend, the seed of bitterness is everywhere, you only need to be careful not to make your heart vulnerable for bitterness. For this not to happen to us, we need to fill our heart with the word of faith (Colossians 3:16). Seeing God working all things out for our good (Romans 8:28). Filling our ear with joy of hope in our God and not in man (Philippians 4:4-8). Keep your faith and memory of the presence of God with you (Matthew 28:20). Then you will keep the seed of joy for sweetness of life. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, let only your seed of joy and love be in my heart.

“THE MOMENT YOU ALLOW A SEED, YOU HAVE ALLOWED THE FRUITS”

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.
