  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...

SELF ESTEEM

SELF ESTEEM 

Scripture: Psalms 139:12-18
Devotional:- "I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well” (v. 14) NKJV

    To be a success, one of the factors we must labour to attain is to build self-value which produces self-esteem. Self-value is seen the good and the grace in ourselves. It is realizing that no matter how bad we are, there are so many good things about us. The reason why many struggle before they can have self-esteem is because they place their value of life on money or material things. So, when they don't have as such, they feel like a failure, some even feel inferior to others because they compare themselves with others (Numbers 13:33). Some have unrealistic expectations about their lives which makes them crash into low self-esteem, instead of realizing their capacity.

To build quality self-esteem, we have to redefine our life values. Stop looking and valuing yourself based on material thing. You are of more value than that (Matthew 10:21). Stop taking to heart the human comment but the word of God who is your creator. Only God have the final say over your life (Jeremiah 29:11)

As a child of God, the spirit of God is in you. All you need to develop self-esteem or self-value is to study, accept and celebrate what God is saying about you. Keep celebrating what God has given to you but not what He has not. And you will succeed. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to see your goodness in my life always.

“YOU WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO GO BEYOND HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF”

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.
