CREATED TO RULE

  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. This entails that man should not be hindered by anything to achieve ...

THE FATHER

John 20:11-18
Devotional:- “..but go to my brethren and tell them, I am ascending to my father and your father and my God and your God” (V. 17) AMPL

    It is a normal thing that every male loves to ascend to the status of a father, but many are not qualified for it. People often love to have an office but not the responsibility of the office. So, today we have a lot of fathers who don’t see their children for more than three hours a week. Some don’t even know the school their children attend nor recognize the state of their life. That is why most terrible children in society today come from big homes. It is because many lack a real father figure in their lives.

You need to know that God also desires to ascend to this status in the life of people. And He will always take full responsibility for His children. Jesus said, I have kept all that the father has given me except the son of perdition (John 17:12). This is a responsible statement.

I will encourage you to recognize God as your father and you will begin to enjoy His fathers’ ministry. You will start to receive His love, correction and instruction (Hebrew 12:6). He becomes your father because He is in you by His Spirit that is in you (1 Corinthians 3:16). By His Spirit in you, you have become His extension and son. You came from Him (John 8:42). He so much loves you. Start to call Him your father and relate with Him exactly. In our scripture today when Jesus was resurrected, He introduced God to us as our Father. Take Him by His word. Freely relate and share with Him. Ask Him questions as a child to the father. Always love to be in His presence and carry the consciousness of His presence with you everywhere. You will begin to enjoy His Father’s ministry over your life.

Prayer: Lord, make me know you as my father indeed.

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 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.
