  RIGHT VIEW Matthew 25:14-30 Devotional:- “And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey” (V.15)  Please note that there is a way that you view life. The truth is that your view of life goes a long way to determine how you invest your time, money talents and value your relationships. People see life from different perspectives. Some sees life as up and down. Some see life as a game so they always play as it comes; some sees life as a place of party, so regular party becomes their priority. Those who see life as battle will have winning as their priority.  People expresses their view and value of life through their kind of cloths, jewelry, cars, hairstyle, tattoos or car stickers but how do God wants us to view life. From our scripture today Jesus gave a parable of how the kingdom of God is and how we should view life. He likened the kingdom of God to a man who is embarking o...

TEMPERAMENT

TEMPERAMENT

Genesis 25:19-28
Devotional:- “So the boys grew. And Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a mild man, dwelling in tents” (V. 27)

    Everyone picks his temperamental nature from the parents. This is therefore, being passed to us through the blood. Since it is in our blood, it becomes our permanent nature. Temperamental nature is therefore one of the major factors to work on to make two to become one. Each temperamental nature has advantages and disadvantages. God consciously allow us to have these differences to create varieties in our world. If all of us behave the same way, the whole world will be boring.

One of these natures is choleric. These are people who always want to impose their own ideas on others. There is also melancholy. These are people who love to take care of detailed issues; they are not easily fed up with organizing and arrangement. They love orderliness. There are also sanguine. These are extroverts. So, they love to talk and be humorous. They think and talk at the same time. Too much of planning is a burden to them. There is also phlegmatic nature. These are Introvert people. They keep to themselves more than others. They think more than talking.

Each of us has a little from our father and a little from our mother. This makes each one to have one major and one or more as minor. To manage these in relationships demands good study of each temperament. There is need for compromise with each other accepting people as they are and helping them to overcome their weaknesses gradually. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to grow above my weaknesses.

“YOUR NATURE IS YOU, ONLY CHALLENGING EXPERIENCES CAN DEVELOP IT”.

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.
