GREATNESS

  GREATNESS   Luke 1:26-37 Devotional:- “He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David” (v.32) NKJV One of the strong prophecies that was spoken about Jesus was that He would be great. I have discovered with time that lasting greatness is given by God. Therefore, it becomes unattainable only by labour but by God’s favour. You hardly see anyone who doesn’t desire to be great, but greatness is life's answer to a few people. This is not because many people don’t labour for it, but because God did not approve their greatness. I need to bring you to an understanding of how to contact true greatness. It comes through the combination of virtues called labour and favour. These two virtues come from both man and God, respectively. Man labour but God favour. Anyone can easily give himself to effective labour, but if the favour of God does not come on it, greatness may not respond. We have a blessing in the birt...

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”

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
