  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...

NEGLECT

John 5:1-9
Devotional:- “The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me" (V. 7) NKJV

    Many people today are faced with the problem of being neglected due to one situation the other. Sometimes people observe a particular problem facing a person and tend to neglect them. When they observe that such a life is hopeless, they neglect him. When people have something to gain around you, they multiply in friendship. But when they observe it had finished, they neglect you; forgetting that a friend in need is a friend indeed.

The man we read about today might have been a big man before. Married with children, but suddenly he became sick. The family cared for him to the point at which they were fed up and he ended up being neglected. People might have thought there is nothing good that can come out of your life. Friends might have been avoiding you, relations may not even ask for where you are. Even your spouse might have left you alone for life’s responsibility. All hope; is not lost. You can still rise. I heard about a man thrown in the bush because relations were fed up with him, thinking he would die there, but Jesus visited him and he came back after being healed and alive.

Jesus is visiting you today. Take life challenges as they come. Stop complaining. Start from where you are. Accept your level and begin to grow bit by bit. Those who laugh at you will soon laugh with you. Those who neglect you will soon be filling out forms to see you. God is always on the side of people like you. Rise from today, He will help you and you will become amazement to your generation.

PRAYER: LORD, VISIT ME AND MAKE ME AN AMAZEMENT TO MY WORLD.

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.

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.
