  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...

LION'S LIKE

Proverbs 28:1-7 NKJV
The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion. (V 1)

    Lions are animals of a unique strength which has boldness inherent in their systems. They are animals that are well respected and feared by both men and other animals.

God created them with full dynamics. The Bible even says it does not have fear for or turns away from anyone even if you are shooting it. (Proverbs 30:30). It is a very brave animal. You will agree with me that we need this virtue to overcome in any battle. That is why the Bible refers to us as sons of God. And we are sons of God as Jesus comes into our lives. And the Bible says that Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. So, you belong to that lineage as soon as Jesus lives in you.

Yet we need to know the way of boldness. Fake boldness cannot bring anything good. It will only lead to failure and defeat. As we are facing the battle of life, we need the inward boldness. This is produced by standing right and knowing your capacity and right in God. A sinner will always feel condemned. And his bold face cannot take him anywhere; but the righteous are as bold as the lion.

Understanding that your righteousness is only given by your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthian 5:20). Don't let the devil continue to make you feel condemned (Romans 8:1). Begin to seek to know God through His word and begin to work in His way, then your boldness will be put in place (Daniel 11:32). Even asking and receiving from God takes boldness (Hebrew 4:15-16). So rise up in boldness and overcome your situations. God is on your side.

Prayer: Lord, baptize me with the Spirit of boldness

"A BOLD PERSON IS ALWAYS A THREAT TO THE ENEMY "

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 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.
