  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.

PERSISTENCE

Scripture: Luke 18:1-7
Devotional:- “Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,” (v. 1) NKJV

    In the school of success, temporary people may not be able to go too far. Desperate people are often met with severe frustration. Those who have learn the act of success must have learn the act of persistency. This is very vital because nothing good are easily found on the surfaces. They always demand continue digging.

To persist is to stay on a course of conviction till one get the expected result. Those who stand out in any field of life often have to persist. The woman in our scripture refused to allow time and date to discourage her. She knew what she wanted to get and she gave her best to it till she got the judgment.

Building up the habit of persistency demands clarity of purpose of life and willingness to commit all to it. To be persistent therefore demand that we define a worthy course, become convict of it, before it will deliver our expectation. Most noble course in life demand long time of preparation. So, temporary people cannot go that far. Great feet demand a deep foundation e.g., to be a medical doctor, a governor or president of a nation. These are not what you attain overnight but with persistent preparation. Get ready for greatness. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to endure to the end.

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.
