HIGHLY CREATIVE

HIGHLY CREATIVE Genesis 31:5-12 Devotional:- “And He said, 'Lift your eyes now and see, all the rams which leap on the flocks are streaked, speckled, and gray-spotted; for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you” (V.12) NKJV      When Adam was created, he was highly creative, just like God. He enjoys great illuminating ideas. At creation, God blessed man and said that man should subdue the earth (Genesis 1:28). This means to utilize the resources at their disposal to fill the earth with other better things. God wanted man to use all the resources on earth for something more relevant and useful for himself. He knows this will not be possible without first giving man His Spirit and a creative mind. So, God made us to be part of creation.

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.

Jesus gave a parable about the kingdom of God. That is what our lives should be like as citizens of the kingdom of God. He said; ten servants were given minas. A mina worth is about three month’s wages. So also, God has invested much into you. You cannot bury God’s gift, talents, and grace in your life and not trade it for your profit and the profit of the kingdom of God. The profit you must make for God’s kingdom will add up to your lifting (Luke 19:17). That is why you should serve the Lord with all He has invested in you.

Friend, the master is coming to ask for His minas. Some don’t want to do business because they don’t want trouble. Others just want to avoid the challenge and the risk of business. Yet, there is something you can do. It is either sales or services. Your excuses will not pay your bills. If you can plan well enough, what you have is enough to start with. Be determined to rise this year and God will help you.

PRAYER: LORD, STRENGTHEN ME TO RISE.

“SIT DOWN AND THINK POSITIVELY; YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RISE.”
