  CREATED TO RULE Genesis 1:26-31 Devotional:- “God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”” (V. 28) NIV The major purpose of creating man was to rule over the earth. This is because the purpose of a product is in the assignment given to it to carry out. The reason why God wanted us to rule the earth was to make us represent Him here, to disallow the enemy from ruling the earth. So our rulership was a delegation. It is very clear in the scripture, God’s manual of man, that we are created to rule. That is, to take over, take control and have dominion over the earth. A producer is only successful when the product serves the purpose of production. When authority is delegated to a man, it often comes with a measure of power and liberty to operate it.

BACKGROUND

Proverbs 22:1-6
Devotional:- “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it” (V. 6)

   

    Everyone grows up from a background. Our background is the nature and the behavioral attitude of people we grew up with. Our background is the lifestyle of our parents and our relations. This goes a long way to affect our beliefs and our concepts of life. It registers in our mind permanently as what we belief that life should look like. Our background often becomes so difficult to change because they are what we are introduced to in our early learning years.

The background nature of Joseph kept reflecting even in Egypt. Our background becomes what other people in relationship will have to manage to have a good relationship. The background flow out in life with us and that is why people say charity begins at home. Some people’s background makes them traders, others partying, others well disciplined, some academics etc. Some people have such terrible background that often stands against their progress in life. Faulty background could stand as self-limiting factor in life.

The moment you notice a background behavior is negatively affecting your life, please be willing to change. It is all about forming contrary habits. This is possible by forming an opposite habit and practicing them repeatedly for 21 days over. Whoever desires to change a man’s background should be patience to explain with understanding about the fault in the background. It will gradually reveal to us a better concept of life. That is when people will agree to change their habit for a better relationship. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be able to change for better.

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.
