  LEARN TO RELATE Romans 12:14-21  Devotional:- “Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited” (v. 16) NIV. We live in a world today that promotes youthful excesses more than that of the mature. We do this in the name of youthful innovations. That is why no office wants to employ relatively old individuals any more. It’s a competitive world. This is making a greater percentage of the world fail in the area of relationships. This is because it is a youthful idea to think you don’t need others. The world of this age is trying to build self-sufficient people. This is the reason many have not learnt the wisdom of relationships. For this reason, today, many people don’t have a home. Many have lost their job and joy. Many have missed many opportunities. The scripture we read today teaches us the right attitude to enjoy a relationship with others. Be careful of pride or overvaluing yourself (Romans 12:...

DENY YOURSELF

DENY YOURSELF

II Samuel 23:13-18
Devotional:- “And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew Water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate… (v. 16). KJV 

    Every success story has the background of self-denial. Since success is never by accident but by conscious effort, it is then highly important that you learn to deny yourself. Complaints and excuses will always be there on the way to any man's success, they are stumbling blocks that can only be overcome by self-denial.

To deny yourself means to refuse to look at your weakness or listen to the complaint of your body. There is no other root to flying in life than this.

The scripture we read today describes the demonstration of men of self-denial. No one pursuing anything that will not want to avoid hindrances. But these are so determined and refuse to carry out the suggestions of their body and their friends. And they broke through.

Friend, those goals you want to achieve can only be possible when you deny yourself. Forget about your weaknesses and forget about your feelings. All of these will only weaken your spirit. If you will not make it, no one will make it for you. The only answer to that examination, business and family situation and ministry is self-denial. You can make it. Self-denial comes from strong determination. Stop looking back. Deny yourself and face the challenges. And you will soon become a winner.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always deny myself for my achievements.

“UNTIL YOU CAN DENY YOURSELF EVERY GOOD THING MAY BE DENIED OF YOU”.

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.
