  NOT AN ACCIDENT Isaiah 44:1-5 Devotional:- “Thus says the LORD who made you And formed you from the womb, who will help you: 'Fear not, O Jacob My servant; And you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen” (V. 2) In discovering the purpose of your creation, it is important that you know that you did not evolve accidentally. You are a product of the conscious plan of God. The word of God says before we were formed in our mother’s womb, He knew us. This means, before you were in the womb of your parent you were first in the womb of the mind of God (Jeremiah1:5) God prescribe every single detail about your life before you were made. You colour, skin, hair or your race. He determines your skills, your uniqueness or your natural talents (Psalm 139:15). Your parent may not have planned your birth but God did. He chose your mother and your father to form the blood group He wants for you. He makes sure that you are raised in the right community and your background. All these things were determined...

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.”

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.

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.
