LETTER OF LOVE

  LETTER OF LOVE 2 Corinthians 3:1-6  Devotional:- “You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men” (v. 2) NKJV One of the things that true lovers love to use as a means of communication is letters of love. Do you know that it can sometimes be appreciated more than the person themselves being around? This is because letters are the expression of the intent of the heart of men. When men speak, they may commit error but when a man is writing, he means what he is saying. That is why most of the love letters written by men were not written once. When an error is detected, you don’t mind rewriting it. Do you know that the word of God is the perfect God’s love letter to man (Psalm 12:3)? There, He gave us all His promises. It is in the Bible, He told us how to enjoy all things in Him and how to have the best from Him. But much more than that, we are the ones expected to be the display and the demonstration of His love to others. You and I are actually the pictu...

FAN TO FLAME

FAN TO FLAME

II Timothy 1:3-7
Devotional:- For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands” (v.6) NIV 

    It's a terrible thing to see that men are wasting than most plants and animals are. This is because men will not take the time to exploit the strength in themselves, but keep exploiting other things around them. Inside any man you see is great potential, gifts and the grace of God.

The purpose for which He has created man was to come to the world to subdue the earth. This can be interpreted as bringing the unfinished work of God to a glorious completion (Hebrews 11:40).

To be able to carry out this great task, He has put in all of us the adequate potential. But it is the responsibility of each one to learn to fan to flame the gift of God in our lives. It is the manifestation of this gift in our lives that will distinguish us and make ways for us among the greats (Proverbs 18:16).

The Scripture we read today offered us a process through which our gifts and potential can begin to manifest for our greatness. And this is by fanning it to flame, that is, stirring up. This is just like blowing or fanning a little fire amid charcoal till it all catches flame. Three things can help you fan your gift to fame. These are the words of God, prayer and service. The word of God is like fire (Jer. 23:29). The prayer strengthens us to operate in the spirit (Acts 4:31), and service helps us exercise our gift to maturity. As you serve the Lord in His house and everywhere, you shall be discovered and excel in God’s grace upon your life. In that house, school, office or church, give yourself to service and your glory shall soon be discovered, your portion shall be delivered.

Prayer: Lord, expose the richness inside me.

“WHAT WILL TURN YOU GREAT IS ALREADY INSIDE YOU BUT CAN ONLY BE DISCOVERED AS YOU FAN IT TO FLAME”

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11).

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.
