  KNOW YOURSELF 1 Timothy 4:4-16 Devotional:- “Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers” (V. 16) NIV There is a need for you to know that one of the most useful and productive adventures you can embark on is the study of yourself. This is because your uniqueness in nature goes a long way to determine your strength and your ability to fulfil your destiny. Your purpose of existence is embedded in your uniqueness. You will be helping yourself to study who you are. Three major things you have to know are your nature, your strength and your weakness. This will help you develop your weaknesses to enjoy a more balanced life. To develop your weakness, you will need to read or hear messages about a particular aspect of life. Your ability to manage yourself determines your ability to manage others. You can take a good study of yourself through observation and examination. You need to observe your temperament and ...

1 Samuel 17:41-51 NKJV
This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. (V 46)

    There is a need for us to understand that God judge the intent of the heart. The Bible says, “by Him actions are weighed (1 Samuel 2:3). Your purpose of doing anything matters to God. This determines whether He will help you or not. Anything you do to acclaim a self-glory; don’t be surprised the end result will not be successful. God’s word says my glory will I not share with another (Isaiah 42:8). Therefore, you must watch the purpose of your step or actions anytime and every time.

David knew this as one of the factors of having the support of God for victory. So, he told Goliath that the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. In other words, he was standing that God may be exalted. He has automatically engaged God in this battle. And when God is involved, victory is inevitable.

Make sure everything you do is to glorify God. Both in prayer, in preaching the gospel, in giving, in counselling, in assistance, in going for an examination, interview or facing a panel or in facing life’s challenges. God will do everything to always give you victory that you may glorify Him. Never you have selfish motive, it will make you lose God in your battle. Let His glory always be your motive and your motivation, then you will always win.

Prayer: Lord, let all I do only be for your glory
