  LEARN TO RELATE Romans 12:14-21  Devotional:- “Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited” (v. 16) NIV. We live in a world today that promotes youthful excesses more than that of the mature. We do this in the name of youthful innovations. That is why no office wants to employ relatively old individuals any more. It’s a competitive world. This is making a greater percentage of the world fail in the area of relationships. This is because it is a youthful idea to think you don’t need others. The world of this age is trying to build self-sufficient people. This is the reason many have not learnt the wisdom of relationships. For this reason, today, many people don’t have a home. Many have lost their job and joy. Many have missed many opportunities. The scripture we read today teaches us the right attitude to enjoy a relationship with others. Be careful of pride or overvaluing yourself (Romans 12:...

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.
