  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...

SACRIFICE OF FAITH

SACRIFICE OF FAITH

Genesis 22:1-14
Devotional:- “And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son” (V.10)

    Until men are ready to follow God at all costs, we may not yet see His best (Isaiah 1:19) NIV. Was Abraham mad? No, he was not. He was just willing to follow God no matter what it may cost.

God suddenly called him one day that he should take the only son he had waited for a hundred years and sacrifice him unto Him. Even though Abraham had waited so long to have Isaac yet, he knew God was not wicked but only wanted to show him another miracle he had never seen before. He concluded that God was able to raise Isaac back to life and he was willing to see the miracle of resurrection for the first time in his life (Hebrew 11:17–19). He knew God had said in Isaac shall your seed be called, so he concluded it must be time for a miracle.

Friend, what is God asking you to sacrifice? He can be replaced a thousand times. See, until your sacrifice of faith goes to God; His real treasure may not open unto you. Abraham stepped out by faith and you can step out by faith also. When Abraham did, he stepped into the covenant of greatness. You are about to step into yours. Don’t let any material hold down your destiny. God will surely test each of us by asking us to lay down something. It is only people who are willing to lay down that can pick up their greatness in God. No matter how the instruction may be, step out by faith and God will step in.

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me to step out to obey you.

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

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.
