HOW SERVANTS THINK

  HOW SERVANTS THINK Numbers 14:11-25 Devotional:- “But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it” (V. 24).   To be a servant requires complete mental shift and change in attitude. Before God, attitude count more than achievement (2 Chronicles 25:2). So, when we look at how real servants think, they think more about others than themselves. Humility is not thinking less of ourselves but thinking of ourselves less (Philippians 2:4). Jesus takes the form of a servant (Philippians 2:7). We can measure our servant’s heart by how we respond when others treat us as servants. Real servants think like a steward and not owner. They keep in mind that God owns it all.  To become a real servant you’ve got to settle the issue of money in your life (Luke 16:13). Please understand that money has a great potential to replace God in our heart. When Jesus is your master...

DREAMS

Genesis 41:1-8
Devotional:- “Now it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh” (V.8) NKJV

    There is hardly a man, who does not dream. A dream is quite different from a vision, though vision could be communicated through dreams. Dreams have become a way by which the devil has tormented many people. Such people experience bad dreams and they become afraid and troubled. We could see the same thing happening in the scripture we read today.

As children of God, our dreams are not supposed to trouble us. As we observe in the scripture, there are three major sources by which dreams come to us. Some are from God to communicate His counsel to us. An example is the one we read today. Anytime such comes your way, pray to the Holy Spirit to explain them to you and He will. Another source comes from many activities. That is, the thought we fill our mind with (Ecclesiastes 5:3). If you are thinking about someone, you could easily dream about him or her.

The third source is from the devil. This is the one that always terrifies people and lures them into confusion. Anytime you find yourself in any dream you don’t like, wake up and erase it in the name of Jesus. Don’t be bound by any bad dream. They are like the negative of a photograph, if you don’t develop them, they will not become real. You bring it to life by meditating on it repeatedly. When the dream is confusing, erase it by the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 9:22)

Don’t allow dreams to determine your thoughts. If not, they will come to pass. The moment you cancel it, it is cancelled (Isaiah 54:17). You need to grow strong to be able to guide your heart against negative thoughts (Proverbs 4:23). Throw the thought to the waste bin and live by faith. Let the word of God become the standard of your faith and thought (Philippians 4:8). Don’t give in to the deceit of the devil. Your God is not the author of confusion. You are created for glory and that is what will manifest in your life in Jesus name.

PRAYER: LORD, STRENGTHEN ME TO ALWAYS OVERCOME BAD DREAMS.

“BAD DREAMS ARE BAD SIGNAL, ERASE IT”

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.
