  YOU ARE FROM GOD Colossians 1:9-18 Devotional:- “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him” (V. 16) One of the greatest troubles of human life is people living out of their purpose. Until you find your purpose and fit into it, life will continue to be a struggle. Locating the meaning of human life is one of the greatest adventures someone can embark on. This is because when the purpose of a thing is not known abuse is inevitable. That is why the human life is so abused today.  As God’s kingdom citizens, finding the purpose of life and the meaning of life becomes easier when we source for it from the word of God. The best purpose of a product is known by the maker. To locate our purpose on earth, we must begin with our maker. The word of God says God made the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1).

HONOUR THE LORD

HONOUR THE LORD

Daniel 4:27-37
Devotional:- “Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment…” (v.37) KJV 

    The reason why so many people find it difficult to keep rising in life is that they do not know how to always honour the Lord. This is so because many have not realise that by strength shall no man prevail (1 Samuel 2:9). God’s word says, it’s not by power nor by might but by my spirit says the Lord (Zechariah 4:6). Most people often think within themselves that it is by their strength and power they’ve attained their goals.

I have discovered with time that the achievement of goals, increase and power to prosper is not in the hands of men but God; they only happen to people that God has given it (I Corinthians 3:16). If we learn this wisdom. Then we will always appreciate and honour the Lord in our hearts for all our achievements. God’s word says, “My glory will I not give another” (Isaiah 42:8). So, when you acclaim God’s glory to yourself, you are looking for trouble.

Nebuchadnezzar did it and learnt the greatest lesson of his life. Though he had built a kingdom yet he was not wise enough to know that it was God who was doing it through him. Friend, be wise. Yes, you work. Earn and gather, but all of these are the Grace of God (John 3:27). Humble yourself to always thank Him. Before you start your business, call your staff together and thank God for yesterday. Then, you will never be dishonoured, and you will keep flying high till your glory comes.

Prayer: Lord, let my heart always honour you for all things.

“WHEN YOU DON’T HONOUR THE LORD YOU WILL BE DISHONOURED, GOD’S WAY TO THE TOP IS BY GOING DOWN

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.
