  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...

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

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.
