  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...

PURPOSE OF RELATIONSHIP

PURPOSE OF RELATIONSHIP

And the Lord God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him" (V. 18)

    God who is the author of relationship observed a missing factor after creating man. He saw that man need another creature to compliment him. That is what relationship does for us. No man or woman will be at his or her best without the impute of the other. The enemy of man often suggests to us that we should only be self-focused. But it will be a total regret when someone refuses to exploit the opportunity of relationship with others.

The word of God says that, God Himself observed that it is not good that the man should be alone. To be alone is to lack the right person to confide in. To be alone is to be afraid to open up to people who can assist us. Anytime the devil wants to destroy anyone, he will encourage him to withdraw from others. When a man begins to withdraw from others, it is for his own ruin. God made us to be a help, a complement or a support for each other to succeed. We are not going to be at our best avoiding people.

Each of us must pray to have the right people or partner who can complement our lives. The dream of God for our lives is too big for what we can handle alone. One of the good gifts we can receive is the gift of right people to be with us. But the best gift is to be a companion to people around you. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to lack your gift of good companion.

"WITHOUT PEOPLE AROUND YOU, YOU CANNOT BE AT YOUR BEST"

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.
