  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...

DISCOVER YOURSELF

DISCOVER YOURSELF

John 1:19-28
Devotional:- “He said: "I am 'The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Make straight the way of the LORD,"' as the prophet Isaiah said" (v. 23) NKJV 

    In the school of success, one of the primary demands is self-discovery. The lack of it is the reason for all the confusion in the world today. No one can succeed by being another person. Life will be full of struggle and constraints if a man is not himself.

God has created us in the world for His glory. But each of us has our place in the universal plan of God. It is this plan that determines who God creates and for what purpose. It is a principle that determines your composition. You are sent here on assignment to carry out a specific task for the Lord. You are created to fulfil some part of the universal plan of God. So you are relevant and important. You are not like anyone else. You are uniquely created for a unique function with a unction. Who you are is simply a function of what you are sent to do. Until you discover yourself, life may keep going towards frustration.

To be able to discover yourself, you need to examine yourself and carefully observe your personality: that is, your temperament, what you like and what you don't. How you like to do things. Observe whatever gets you excited and what gets you upset. These are pointers to your purpose of creation. Then identify your gift, grace and talent. These are put in you to help you carry out your God given assignments on earth. Your grace is the excelling gift among others. That is what you are anointed with. This is not a year of waste for you. It's never too late to restart. It is as you discover yourself that the world will discover your glory. It is a new year for you.

Prayer: Lord, open my inner eyes to see your uniqueness in me.

“IT IS DISCOVERY THAT BRINGS RECOVERY”

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.
