  MADE TO SERVE GOD 1 Corinthians 3:5-17 Devotional:- “For we are both God's workers. And you are God's field. You are God's building. (V.9 NLT) God put you on earth to make contributions and make a difference with your life. Another purpose of your life is to serve the Lord wherever you are. You are created to add to the earth and not just to take from it. This purpose of your life is called ministry or service. It is very important that you live in this consciousness, you were created to serve God (Ephesians 2:10). Wherever you are either in the school or in the office, be sure you are serving God and fulfilling your purpose.  God saved you to serve Him. Your work, business or academic is also a work and a service to the Lord (Ephesians 6:5-7). God redeemed you to do His holy work everywhere in your life. It is service that gives value to your life (2 Timothy 1:9). Ministry is not only for pastors but for all members of the body of Christ. We are not to sit and wait for h...

FOCUS ON HIM

FOCUS ON HIM

Hebrews 12:1-5
Devotional Verse - “looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (V. 2)

     No one can get the best of fellowship until there is a focus. Our nature of creation cannot really connect together until there is a focus. To focus is to set your mind and heart on God. There is this saying that we only communicate when we are focused on each other. So, when we are in fellowship with God, we must focus on Him. The devil will tempt you by creating several distractions. Anytime you want to focus, something will start to cross your mind to change the course. You must overcome it.

The Bible says, we should keep looking unto Jesus. This is telling us to focus. Fellowship time with God is not a time to attend to people. It is not a time to think about your money. It can only be good when you can focus. Any distracting thought can be noted. Also note that most of distracting thought in time of fellowship will be very important one that you didn’t remember before the fellowship time.

This calls for discipline and wisdom. You need to make up your mind to succeed in fellowship time with God to get the best of it. Let all around you know that when you are praying, you will not answer anyone. Make it a policy. People calling you out in the service to discuss is not godly, no matter how good the point of discussion is. When flashing ideas come to distract, ask the Holy Spirit to remind you later and He will. This is how to get the best of fellowship. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me victory over distracting spirit.

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.
