  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...

STAND ON

1 Chronicles 19:10-15
Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the LORD do what is good in His sight.” (V 13)

    Battles of life can sometimes look prevailing over us. It might even look as if one is failing despite all efforts. Sometimes some people look at their situation and conclude that they cannot survive it. They conclude on this because of what they can see happening around them physically but forgetting that situations and people’s comment are not good materials to judge the race of life.

The event we read in God’s word today shows us the army of Israel in the battle front. Their experiences have always been victories since God has always been with them. But now the battle seems going tough against them. Yet they refused to give up. They encouraged themselves and they stood on until they had their victory.

You need to also learn this wisdom. Learn to be courageous. Don’t be discouraged easily because of situation and people’s comments. If you can only stand on, you will become victorious. Throw away the pains of past failures. Re-organize yourself to relaunch against the enemy. Your yesterday’s failure is a proof that you can succeed. Also, failure is a proof that you can succeed tomorrow. Don’t give up. God is on your side. If you are weak physically God is not weak. Accept His strength by faith and stand on to victory. No power will be able to defeat you when God is in you.

Prayer: Lord, help me to keep standing my ground by faith in you.

“YOU CAN ONLY BE DEFEATED WHEN YOU GIVE IN OR GIVE UP”

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.
