  GIFT AND GRACE Romans 12:3-8 Devotional:- “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith”(V. 6) NIV   One of the means through which we can demonstrate our love to others is by using the grace and the gifts that are in our lives. As a child of God, you are privileged to enjoy two levels of gifts. The first are the talents and gifts. The second are the gifts of the Holy Spirit. There is no one who is not talented in one area or the other. It may be to cook, sing, design, draw or write. It could also be in the area of sport or decoration. But as a child of God, there is another dimension of gifts in your life given by the Holy Spirit. These are gifts of prophecy, healing, knowledge, wisdom, working of miracles, discernment of spirit, diverse tongues or interpretation of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:6-10). If you don’t know that you have any of this gift, it is because you have not care...

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.
