  DESIGNED TO SERVE GOD Psalm 139:13-18 Devotional:- “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!” (V. 16 NLT)   God designed and formed you to fit into what He wants you to do to serve Him. The intended function determines the form of a building, so also your life. You are the way you are because you were made for specific ministry (Ephesians 2:10) Our scripture today simply means nothing that happens in your life is insignificant. God will never waste any ability unless He intend to use it for His glory (1 Peter 2:9) Before God will give you any assignment, He must have packaged you for it. This packaging is what we call shape (Jeremiah 1:5). Let us look at the meaning of each letter in your shape. The ‘S’ represents Spiritual gifts. These are special God-empowered abilities for serving Him, giving only to believers (1 Cor. 2:14). These gift cannot be bought because they are given by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:11). We are to use them to benefit on...

PRESENCE OF GOD

PRESENCE OF GOD

Scripture Reading: Acts 16:20-31
Devotional:- “Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed” (V. 26)  

    Wherever God is praised, His presence will always be there. This is because He inhabit the praises of His people (Psalms 22:3). God gives attention to His praises. In other words, praises is an invitation that God cannot ignore, especially when it comes from a right heart (Psalms 24:3-4). If any one wants to keep the presence of God with him or herself, the secret is praises.

Paul and Silas were on their mission field for God in Philippi. As the custom of the devil is, he entered some people to stand against them and they were put in prison. But in the middle of the night, Paul and Silas prayed and began to sing praises unto God. This action brought the presence of God into the prison. The prison foundation began to shake. Since no door could lock against God, all the prison doors were flared opened and all the prisoner’s chain were loosed (2 Corinthians 3:17).

Friend, all this happened because the servants of God prayed and sang praises to God. The presence of the Lord came into the prison and set everyone free. Whatever cage of life you may find yourself, learn to embark on praise galore. The Lord will step into your situations and destroy all factors of limitations. The Lord will fight for you and no one will hinder you anymore. Peace!

 PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to praise you in my situation.

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.
