  GOOD SHEPHERD John 10:11-16  Devotional:- "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gave his life for the sheep”. (V. 11) Shepherds are one of the most caring people on earth. They value the lives of the sheep. They risk their life many times to save the life of the sheep. They follow the sheep wherever they go and lead them To green grass where they enjoy fresh food for their nourishment (Psalms 23:1-6). Their presence comforts and secures the sheep. They cannot tolerate the loss of any of them. So they watch over it so dearly. If anyone is missing, they take pains to look for it till they find it, and when it is found, they celebrate it (Luke 15:4-7). So also is the love of Jesus to you. He is your good shepherd. That is why He laid down His life for you. He died that you might live. He cares for you (I Peter 5:7). He cannot afford to see you in suffering. Whatever you are passing through now is for your glory (Romans 8:18). Everything shall turn to your testimony (Luke...

GIVING GLORY

GIVING GLORY

Scripture Reading: Psalms 29:1-11
Devotional:- “Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness” (V. 2)

    We are made to give glory to God in all our lives (1 Corinthians 10:31). The glory of God is in His honour and praises. Whenever we are praising God, we are bringing glory to Him. This is a major thing God desire from the sons of men. Among all that the Lord had made, only the falling demons and man that does not always give glory to God. This is because the devil always wants us to lose focus on the importance of God to our lives. So, man prefer the way of sin (Romans 3:23).

The word of God says, we should give unto God the glory due to His name. To give glory to God means, we recognize Him as our maker and owner. He is the maker of everything that is existing (Revelation 4:11). We give glory to God when we praise Him (Psalms 29:2). We give glory to God when we love others that He made (John 13:34-35; 1 John 3:14). We bring glory to God when we grow His attitude and character to be like Him (2 Corinthians 3:18). We give glory to God when we are serving Him with our gifts (1Peter 4:10-11). We bring glory to God when we bring others to God (2 Corinthians 4:15).

Friend, your life will only reflect the beauty of the Lord when you are bringing glory to God. The reason we should bring glory to God is that God might also glorify Himself in us (John 17:4-5). When the glory of God is on you, all that you do will bring testimony and praises to God. And you will be God’s special person. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to bring glory to you in all I do.

“THE MANIFESTATION OF YOUR GLORY IS IN BRINGING GLORY TO GOD”

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 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.
