  DESIGNED TO SERVE GOD Psalm 139:13-18 Devotional:- “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!” (V. 16 NLT)   God designed and formed you to fit into what He wants you to do to serve Him. The intended function determines the form of a building, so also your life. You are the way you are because you were made for specific ministry (Ephesians 2:10) Our scripture today simply means nothing that happens in your life is insignificant. God will never waste any ability unless He intend to use it for His glory (1 Peter 2:9) Before God will give you any assignment, He must have packaged you for it. This packaging is what we call shape (Jeremiah 1:5). Let us look at the meaning of each letter in your shape. The ‘S’ represents Spiritual gifts. These are special God-empowered abilities for serving Him, giving only to believers (1 Cor. 2:14). These gift cannot be bought because they are given by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:11). We are to use them to benefit on...

HE FORGIVES

HE FORGIVES

I John 1:5-10
Devotional:- “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (V. 9) KJV

    Man in his nature could have some weaknesses. It is the Holy Spirit that helps us out of our weaknesses often. We are not yet perfect but the Spirit of God is perfecting us. In the course of our relating with one another, we often offend each other. And also as we relate with God our imperfections sometimes reflect. The enemy is always looking for every avenue to take advantage of our condemnation. He knows that when men become guilty they become weak. He is happy when a man is weak for him to accuse us before the father.

But we have a God of mercy that always forgives our sins. He is not only forgiving but cleanses so that the traces of the iniquity should never be found in us anymore in His presence. It is a terrible thing to live under the oppression of guilt. It will cripple faith and confidence in achievement. It will breed condemnation and destroy peace.

You therefore need to know that your God is a God that forgives. Get to know that this is the simple truth of the word of God. He is not interested in your trouble and lack of peace (Ezekiel 33:11). Learn to confess your sin to Him. Always admit your wrongs before Him and repent of it. He will faithfully forgive you and forget all about that completely. He only does not like it when men try to cover their sins (Proverbs 28:13). Open up to Him and you will find your peace restored. You will surely find grace for a renewed relationship with God. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to always accept your forgiveness.

“UNTIL A MAN CAN ACCEPT GOD’S FORGIVENESS THE ENEMY WILL ALWAYS REMOVE HIS PEACE”

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.
