YOU ARE FROM GOD

  YOU ARE FROM GOD Colossians 1:9-18 Devotional:- “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him” (V. 16) One of the greatest troubles of human life is people living out of their purpose. Until you find your purpose and fit into it, life will continue to be a struggle. Locating the meaning of human life is one of the greatest adventures someone can embark on. This is because when the purpose of a thing is not known abuse is inevitable. That is why the human life is so abused today.  As God’s kingdom citizens, finding the purpose of life and the meaning of life becomes easier when we source for it from the word of God. The best purpose of a product is known by the maker. To locate our purpose on earth, we must begin with our maker. The word of God says God made the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1).

LOW INCREASE

LOW INCREASE

I Corinthians 3:5-10
Devotional:- “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase” (V.6) NKJV                             

    It is very much natural that when we plant, we should expect a harvest. God has ordained it to be so (Genesis 8:22). When you sow grains of maize, you are normally expected to reap curbs of it, this is the right phenomenon. But sometimes it happens that you put in so much to reap a little. This is the reverse of what God has ordained. However. loss of such has set fear in the hearts of many people and so they are even afraid to invest in anything again. But this should not be so.

This happens to us sometimes when we forget that God owns the power of increase and not man. When some people are greatly increasing, they attribute it to their smartness. They look at other people as if they do not know how. But the truth is that God is the one that gives grace for increase. Yes, there are factors responsible for an increase but when you have done all, minus God’s grace it equals frustration.

To overcome this challenge, there is a need to check some things. please check if we are sowing the right seed on good ground. Don’t forget that God is the one that can lead us to locate Our good ground (Psalm 23:2). Good ground for ’A’ may not be for ‘B’.

God is the determinant. Are you where God leads you? We need to ascertain the kind of seed we are sowing. Is it healthy or not? We also need to water our seed with the word of faith to grow and increase. Then lastly recognize that the key factor for the increase is direction and not our discretion.

Remember every seed has its season of harvest, i.e., gestation season. Take time to allow God’s leading, for he will always lead his people to greener pastures. Always be grateful for the little increase, then the big ones will be heading your way (Psalm 67:5-7). Your increase shall will have no limit because your season has come and everyone shall see your glory.

PRAYER: LORD, LET MY SEASON OF INCREASE COME.

“DIRECTION IS THE KEY TO DISTINCTION”

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.
