ENVY NO ONE

  ENVY NO ONE Genesis 37:1-11  Devotional:- “And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.” (V.11) NKJV For a man to enjoy God’s love being wonderfully demonstrated to him, he must constitute a habit of not envying anyone. This is the reason why many cannot demonstrate genuine love to others. It is time you begin to understand that your value is not comparable. Envy is an emotional act people put on when they feel someone is better than them. Envy is always the mother of negative jealousy. It breeds bitterness and pushes people to commit all kinds of crimes. Some people’s reason for being armed robbers is that since they could not make it legitimately, they must go and get it by force from the hands of those who have made it. The truth is that there is no one who cannot make it. The problem with Joseph’s brother was that they did not know the truth of the word of God. As children of Abraham, all of them are already pronounced as successful in life. Josep...

PURPOSEFUL

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

“YOUR PURPOSE DETERMINES THE END POINT”

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.
