ENVY NO ONE

  ENVY NO ONE Genesis 37:1-11  Devotional:- “And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.” (V.11) NKJV For a man to enjoy God’s love being wonderfully demonstrated to him, he must constitute a habit of not envying anyone. This is the reason why many cannot demonstrate genuine love to others. It is time you begin to understand that your value is not comparable. Envy is an emotional act people put on when they feel someone is better than them. Envy is always the mother of negative jealousy. It breeds bitterness and pushes people to commit all kinds of crimes. Some people’s reason for being armed robbers is that since they could not make it legitimately, they must go and get it by force from the hands of those who have made it. The truth is that there is no one who cannot make it. The problem with Joseph’s brother was that they did not know the truth of the word of God. As children of Abraham, all of them are already pronounced as successful in life. Josep...

SERVICE IN PATIENCE

SERVICE IN PATIENCE

Genesis 40:4-15
Devotional:- “And they said to him, "We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it." So Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please”” (V. 8) NKJV

    God has put in every man one thing or the other to be used to climb to the top. These are in the form of gifts, talents or call it potentials. God’s word says the gift of a man will make a way for him (Proverbs 18:16).

Joseph knew he was a man of destiny. God had revealed many things to him about it. However, challenges brought him to Egypt as a slave. And he gave himself to service. Using all the gifts and talents or potentials he found in himself to serve others. He gave his best in service by faith. He was convinced that his lifting would come. Service lifted him in Potiphar’s house but they sent him to prison (Genesis 39). Nevertheless, he kept serving by faith knowing that one day he would be lifted again.

Friend, start to serve with your gifts and talents. It is an act of faith for your lifting (Mark 10:43-45). Make others better with your gift. Don’t bother what it is going to cost you to do this. Do not wait for any appreciation either. Keep serving by faith. Wait patiently, soon God will open the door for you. That same potential shall be needed at the top and your announcement shall come.

Prayer: Lord, grant me the grace to keep serving faithfully.

“SERVICE IS THE LADDER TO THE TOP”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). 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

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.
