  WORLD CLASS CHRISTIAN Mark 16:14-20 Devotional:- “And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (V. 15) There are two types of Christians in the world: The world class Christians and the worldly Christian. You are either in one of these groups. The worldly Christians look to God primarily for personal needs. They are saved but self-centered. Their prayer focuses on me first and focuses on their needs, blessings and happiness or comfort. They want to use God for their purpose instead of been used for Gods purposes. “Jesus sent us to reach the world, be part”.  In contrast, world class Christians are people who are saved and know that they are here to serve the purpose of God. Find them anywhere in the world they will be serving God’s purpose. They are eager to receive personal assignment and excited about the privilege of been used by God. Everything they do in life is towards fulfilling the purpose of God and not just for worldly pleasu...

BACK TO SCHOOL

Ecclesiastes 10:10-15
Devotional:- “If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success” (v.10) NKJV.

    Do you know that there can be no effective flight if there is no good ground or a kind of background from which the flying object will take off? One of the components for a good foundation for taking off in life is education or skill development. Some people often think that education is just about obtaining a certificate that enables them to find employment. So they tell themselves, “I am not looking for work, so I don’t need education”. I am doing my business, so I don't need education. But is this true?

The scripture we read today says if an axe is dull and unsharpened, there will be a need to apply more strength before it can perform, but skill will bring success. Listen, the major purpose of education is to build your mind skillfully. It is like sharpening your axe or cutlass to work better for you. So, no matter what your business, trade or career is, if you are not going to remain on a spot, you need to go back to school. You could be informed by attending seminars, reading books, or going back to sit under lecturers in the school. The main among them is searching for and sitting with a relevant book till you gain a better understanding of what you are doing.

This will build your skills for effectiveness. Skill is the ability to do something with speed and accuracy. This will make you overtake your equals. Illiteracy is a disease. Education will open you to more opportunities. If the governor of your state needs a fashion designer, for example, only the educated will win the contract. Don’t remain a servant of your junior forever. You are not too old to be back in school to pursue that career, it could be the only thing you need to cross into your next level. Decide to progress and you will find grace. 

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO HUMBLE MYSELF TO LEARN.

“THE SKILLFUL WILL ALWAYS BE THE NEEDED AT THE TOP”

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.
