  YOU ARE FROM GOD Colossians 1:9-18 Devotional:- “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him” (V. 16) One of the greatest troubles of human life is people living out of their purpose. Until you find your purpose and fit into it, life will continue to be a struggle. Locating the meaning of human life is one of the greatest adventures someone can embark on. This is because when the purpose of a thing is not known abuse is inevitable. That is why the human life is so abused today.  As God’s kingdom citizens, finding the purpose of life and the meaning of life becomes easier when we source for it from the word of God. The best purpose of a product is known by the maker. To locate our purpose on earth, we must begin with our maker. The word of God says God made the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1).

GRATEFULNESS

GRATEFULNESS

Genesis 35:1-7
And he built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there God appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother. (V 7)

    A wise man is always grateful because he knows that his strength is not always in his potentials but by making use of opportunities around him to achieve success. A lot of times we succeed because God is involved in it. It is therefore wisdom to you when have such understanding. This will help you to always be thankful both to God and to men.

Jacob had so much trouble at the beginning of his life that he had to run away from his father’s house. It was in the midst of this trouble that God spoke to him and promised to see him through his journey. He (Jacob) then promised to appreciate God on that spot where God spoke with him, if he could return to the place. And God kept him and he returned to appreciate the Lord.

It is often said that, he that appreciates for the good of yesterday will receive another. And that he that does not know how to show appreciation is like an armed robber who carted away one’s belongings. Please understand that being grateful is an act of wisdom. Stop murmuring or complaining. It brings destruction (Malachi 2:2).

Stop comparing yourself with others. It is not a wise attitude (2 Corinthians 10:12). You will keep rising in Jesus name.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always walk in the wisdom of gratitude

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.
