  KNOW YOURSELF 1 Timothy 4:4-16 Devotional:- “Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers” (V. 16) NIV There is a need for you to know that one of the most useful and productive adventures you can embark on is the study of yourself. This is because your uniqueness in nature goes a long way to determine your strength and your ability to fulfil your destiny. Your purpose of existence is embedded in your uniqueness. You will be helping yourself to study who you are. Three major things you have to know are your nature, your strength and your weakness. This will help you develop your weaknesses to enjoy a more balanced life. To develop your weakness, you will need to read or hear messages about a particular aspect of life. Your ability to manage yourself determines your ability to manage others. You can take a good study of yourself through observation and examination. You need to observe your temperament and ...

A PRIEST

I Peter 2:4-8
Devotional:- “You also… have been built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices." (v.5)

    In the Old Testament, the priests are the only people permitted by God to take up sacred affairs in the house of God. They are the ones approved by God to move closer to God and to touch the holy materials. It is an abomination for them to touch any unholy material. They are never to defile themselves with any unlawful thing. They stand on behalf of people before God and of God before people. They are permitted to have direct access to God.

The scripture we read today announced you as a priest of God. As a New Testament saint, you have been ordained into the royal priesthood of Christ (I Peter 2:9). You can have direct access to God. You are His holy vessel. You need no middleman to worship or pray to God. You don’t need a consultant or a contractor to get you to God. You are the one to take people there. You can always offer your sacrifices of praise, worship, thanksgiving, supplication, intercession, and offering, and it will be acceptable unto God. That is why you must not defile yourself with sin (Isaiah 52:11). You must always be conscious of your sacred office. So that God’s glory can always be seen in you.

In case you live in an environment where there are no fellowships, start to gather people around you to worship the Lord. You are a priest of God. Not by garment or human ordination but by God’s ordination. God will always confirm your word when you pray for people if you believe (Isaiah 44:26). Receive God's righteous boldness from now and lead others to God.

Prayer: Lord, let your mark of priesthood be on me.

“A PRIEST IS A SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY OVER LIFE.”

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.
