  LIVING WITH PURPOSE Proverbs 19:16-23 Devotional – “You can make many plans, but the LORD's purpose will prevail” (v. 21 NLT) Living on purpose is the only way to really live; everything else just merely exists. Most people struggle with these three questions in life; WHO AM I? (Identity); WHY AM I MADE? (Purpose); WHAT IS MY PLACE IN LIFE? (Impact). The answers to these entire questions are found in five Gods purpose for you. Now that you know God’s purpose for your life, it is important you live in it. For you not to drift away from the most important things of life, it is important to develop a purpose statement for your life and regularly review it. This is a statement that summarizes God’s purpose for your life (Psalm 39:11). It is a statement that point the direction of your life (Proverbs 4:26). It spells out what you are to do and what not (Proverbs 17:24). It is a statement that defines success for you (Philippians 1:10). It is a statement that clarifies your roles and i...

STATE OF HEART

Mark 11:20-26
Devotional:- “So Jesus answered and said to them, “have faith in God” (V. 22) 

    Even though God is so powerful and mighty many of us have limited the manifestation of His power in our life. This is due to the state of our mind. The state of the heart of a man is what determines the state of his faith.

In the scripture we’ve read, Jesus was expecting fruits from a tree and He did not find any, so He cursed the tree (Mark 11:14). At that time the disciples did not understand the power that had gone out with that word. But when they were coming back the second day, one of them noticed the tree Jesus cursed had dried. He then called the attention of Jesus to it. But Jesus said, “Have faith in God”. Another version said, “Have faith of God.” That is God’s kind of faith. He then explained God’s kind of faith. The word of God says if we speak to a mountain to move and we doubt not in our heart it shall be so. This means the state of your heart towards God determines how heaven will respond to you.

Friend, the state of your heart needs to be in a positive state all the time. That is why you need the help of the Holy Spirit. If you can just change your mind and decide to be positive and never negative (doubtful) you will always have what you are asking (Mark 11:23). Many are too pessimistic to walk with God. They always expect evil and negative. Please ask for the grace for a positive mind, your life has no option but to respond to your heart (Proverb 23:7).

Prayer: Holy Spirit, help me to grow a positive heart in my life.

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.
