TAKE THE LOWLY PLACE  Luke 14:7-14 Devotional:- But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you.

But do you know that honour is better than shame? When some people are invited to occasion, oftentimes think they are so important and expecting too much honour only to earn shame in return. When you are invited to any occasion, dress well but humble yourself; you are not to be the most important. Don’t begin to think you are the only person there. Be willing to sit in the low place.

FATHER OF LIGHT

1 John 1:1-10
Devotional:- “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.” (V. 5) NKJV

    Our God is referred to as the God of light. He dwells in great light (1 Timothy 6:16). He is referred to as the father of light (James 1:17). He is the creator of light. In this light is the strength and the life of men (John 1:4).

When the Bible referred to God as light it interprets quite some things of benefit to us. It means God is the master over darkness. Darkness here could stand for the devil, evil or wickedness. The Bible says the light shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot comprehend it (John 1:5). In other words wherever God is, the devil, evil or wickedness cannot prosper there. When we dwell in God and He in us, the evil and the wicked forces of this world cannot overpower us. God dwells in you when you ask Him to come into your heart and when you are baptized in the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16).

Light also means understanding and brightness of the mind. From God comes understanding (Job 32:8). Every man is only strong or successful at the level of his understanding. It is the correct assimilation of knowledge that produces wise action. Light also means discretion for direction. The more you humbly relate with God the more your understanding will be. God gives understanding both for wisdom and discretion through His word (Psalm 119:115, 130). When you keep relating with God, the light of discretion will increase in your life. Why others are stumbling you will keep running and keep advancing. Stop walking in darkness. Whenever you are walking in sin, you are walking in darkness. Sin will make you a victim of darkness (1 John 3:8). Flee from sin (1 Timothy 6:11). Hate anything of darkness, they are unfruitful (Ephesians 5:11)., And God of light will make you succeed.

Prayer: Lord, shine forth your light over my life and destiny.

“LIGHT IS THE AUTOMATIC SOLUTION TO DARKNESS”

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.

DOMINION

  DOMINION   Psalms 8:1-9 Devotional:- “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV      At creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6; Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God (Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to be in charge of all creation.
