  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...

HIS COUNSEL STANDS

HIS COUNSEL STANDS

Genesis 45:1-11
Devotional:- “Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph; does my father still live?" But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed in his presence” (V. 3) NKJV

    Sometimes the enemy feels he can stop the counsel of God, but the Bible says the counsel of God shall stand. That is why you need to stand in faith in God's word and not in your experience on earth.

Joseph was a man of many troubles. The enemy used his brothers’ attitude against him in his family with all determination that his dreams would not come to reality (Genesis 37:18-20). God often reveals to him that he will rule over his brothers. As a child of around sixteen, he was not wise enough to have been telling his brothers about his dreams. And he created enmity for himself in the house. They sold him to slavery for money. Because God's counsel cannot fail, he still become ruler in the land of slavery and his brother at last came there to bow to him. He at last ruled over his brothers.

Friend, don't let the enemy turn you into an instrument against anyone else, you may regret doing so. But you need to know also that God’s counsel about you cannot change. He will surely fulfill His word notwithstanding the effort of the enemy. You will surely rule. Just be sure you remain in the will of God and keep serving Him with all faithfulness. At last, your enemies will bow themselves to you. Soon their children will be at your mercy. This is because the counsel of God will surely come to stand in your life.

Prayer: Lord, help me to remain in your will till I will be lifted by your hand.

“GOD IS NOT WAITING FOR ANYONE’S ADVICE, ONLY HIS COUNSEL SHALL STAND”

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.
