COMPARISM

  COMPARISM 2 Corinthians 10:7-18 Devotional:- “Oh, don't worry; we wouldn't dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!” (v.12) NLT. Man, by his complexity, sometimes creates complications for himself in life. One of the things we often do incorrectly is to measure our lives by comparing them to other people’s lives. We often forget that we are sent for a different purpose, so our goals and objectives cannot be the same. There is nothing wrong with trying to gauge your level of performance against others in the same field. But it will be completely wrong for you to determine whether you are a failure or a success by the life of another man. Paul, the apostle of Christ, knows that his own purpose and program are from the Lord and are different from what others have been given. For example, if some apostles were marr...

IMPARTIAL

Acts 10:34-48
Devotional:- “Then Peter open his mouth and said: "In truth, I perceive that God shows no partiality" (V. 34) NKJV

    Due to the selfish nature of human, partiality is almost very natural for many. People will always want to satisfy themselves first. Partiality is injustice. It is handlining a matter in a way that is unfair to others. Because of the human selfish nature, we always want to show favoritism to our people before others.

There is a need for you to know that God is not a partial God. He does not look at people's faces to favor them nor does he take bribes to promote a man. He is the discerner of the intent of the heart of man (Hebrews 4:12). He judges by the heart and not the face (1 Samuel 16:7). If you are not enjoying something from God and others are already enjoying it, that does not mean is a partial God.

In the experience of Peter today, the gentiles who do not deserve the Spirit of the blessing of God were given. So, there is nothing God is doing for anyone that He cannot do for you. All you need to do is what Apostle Peter said (Act 10:35). Be sure you are living in the fear and the reference of God. And be obedient to His instruction. Then He will deliver to you His blessings and His favor. Soon people shall call you blessed and your glory shall be revealed.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always fear your word.

“BEFORE GOD ALL MEN ARE EQUAL BUT EACH ONE QUALIFIES HIMSELF BY HIS DISPOSITION”

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.
