  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...

WHO IS A SUCCESS?

Devotional:- The labor of fools wearies them, For they do not even know how to go to the city! (v. 15) NKJV

    A success is a life developed to be able to succeed. A success is someone who have learnt the skill of success and has master them over time. Because people do not understand what success is, they don't know how to succeed (Ecclesiastics.10:15). A success is a person who has learnt how to achieve a thing in life.

Please, understand that a man who is not a success cannot succeed. A Success has learnt the act of success. The act of success is a pattern or steps or approach to attain success in life. Until a man understands his own pattern of success, he cannot reproduce his success. A man of success will always succeed, this is because he has developed the skill or the ability (Psalms 18:29).

A success is a person because it is an inbuilt ability that cannot be separated from him/her. Wherever you put Mr. Success, he will reproduce what he is able to do. Everything you have, either success or failure, came from your ability. The engine that produces what you have is inside you. A bad dress maker can successfully make a good dress but not all the time, reason being that he can stumble at it. This is the struggle of life (Ecclesiastics 10:15). Struggle is trying to achieve what you are not. A good dress maker can always make another one. Making the dress is an achievement, but he is made already before he can make a dress.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to build up the ability of success.

“WHAT YOU HAVE IS A PRODUCT OF WHOM YOU ARE”

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.
