SUCCESS YOUR PURPOSE 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Devotional:- “And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing” (V. 8) NLT When a person turns to the Lord, invite Jesus to his/her life, and surrender to Jesus as Lord and saviour, then he/she sincerely becomes a Christian. This is the state many in the church has not attained. Many struggle to surrender their lives to the Lord because they are afraid of failure, not able to trust God to give them success, and their love for the things of this world (1 John 2:15-17). When you sincerely surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your view of success cannot but change. Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7). When you start to live for God, your definition of success will change from materials to purpose. Liv...

LOST OPPORTUNITIES

LOST OPPORTUNITIES

Luke 15:13-22
Devotional:-  bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!” (V. 17) NKJV

    Opportunities are means God has created to prosper us in life. But the sad story is that some men with opportunities are not always aware of the opportunities until they lose them. It is often said that opportunity once lost may never be regained. This has put many lives in the circle of failure, just because they will always lose their God-giving opportunities.

The prodigal son had a great opportunity, but he did not realize it until he lost it. I don’t know how many opportunities you might have lost in life. Is it financial fortunes, marriage, promotion, good work, or help to travel out of the country? Jesus told the story of the prodigal son to let us know that we can regain our lost opportunities more gloriously. Our God is a God of second chance.

Don’t forget that experience is a great teacher. Experience makes a man wise and he becomes a leader among others. If you have not missed opportunities in the past, you may not be able to make the best use of the coming ones. As for you, God is going to restore your lost opportunities.  What you need to do is to keep wisdom, keep humility, and be willing to obey God in all situations. The prodigal son humbled himself to retrace his steps back home. You and I are the prodigal son and God is our father. Humble yourself to gain understanding. Be patient and don’t rush in making a decision. Learn to seek counsel, and God will bring a better time that will make your life better.

PRAYER: LORD, RESTORE MY LOST OPPORTUNITIES.

“OPPORTUNITY REGAINED IS AN OPPORTUNITY BEST UTILIZED”

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.
