  HOW REAL SERVANTS ACT Mark 10:35-45 Devotional:- “Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant” (V. 43).   The world defines greatness in terms of power, possessions, prestige and position but God determined your greatness by how many people you serve. This is quite contrary to the world view. Jesus called Himself servant and to be like Him is to be a servant. That is why it is so important to have a servant’s heart. God often test our heart by asking us to serve even outside our shape or area of interest. Your priority area of service should be in your area of shape, but God could demand for your service wherever needed. Looking at how a servant act is important because one could serve in a church for years and not be a real servant. Real servants make themselves available to serve. If you only serve when it is convenient, then you are not a good servant (2 Timothy 2:4). Real servants pay attention to needs, always lo...

BOOK OF LOVE

Devotional:- “But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him” (V. 5)

    The world today Is attempting to destroy the power of relationship. On daily basis, the principles of good relationship are not only broken but destroyed. Today, people are advised to express themselves anyhow. This is called civilization and freedom of speech. The virtue of honour to the elders is destroyed by the way people address each other. Yes, we should not be intimidated to talk to anyone when we ought to, yet moral demands that we do it with honour and respect for each other (Colossians 4:6).

The word of God tells us that no matter what the world is turning to; we are to keep obeying the scriptures (Matthew 7:24). That is when we can have the best of relationship. The word of God is the book of love. This is because; God is love (1 John 4:7-8). His lifestyle, attitude and habit are all love. If we therefore want to have the best of relationship, we will have to learn how to do that from the word of God.

Remember, we are people who are temperamental in all things. That is why you cannot allow yourself to be absolutely free without a principle guiding you in all that you do. It is these principles that will not let us go astray. By this, we will not fall prey to the tricks of the devil. No one knows it all. So, don’t live without a guiding standard to keep you in wisdom (Proverbs 25:28). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to take your word as my guiding principle in my relationship.

“A LIFE WITHOUT A GUIDE IS LIKE A CITY WITHOUT BORDER, OPEN TO ALL ATTACK”

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.
