  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...

HUMILITY

HUMILITY

Luke 14:6-14
Devotional:- “But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you” (v.10) NKJV 

    You can measure the level of a man's maturity by his love for humility. You can also determine or predict a man’s future by his level of humility. A humble man is a wise man. Get to know that humility is different from stupidity. Some people call some attitude humility that makes their opportunities escape them in life. This is not humility.

Humility is a virtue that is not self-seeking and boastful. He will always value and respect others. Humility will help you to be more tolerant and accommodate others. Such a man will never want to put himself in front or overestimate himself. This is an attitude that is ready to learn and change for better. Always willing to obey wise instructions (Matthew 7:24). 

This is a virtue that is not always noisy. Jesus teaches us the wisdom of humility in the scriptures we read today, that any time we attend an occasion, we should not choose the highest place. Humble yourself and take the low place. Let the organisers themselves invite you up. Then you will be more honourable (1 Peter 5:6).

Pride will always push a man to shame and destruction (Proverbs 11:2). The way some people talk and shout at everyone will not allow God to lift them. Some people are lazy and now have to impose themselves on others since they don’t have a good example. Watch out, if people always disobey you, and you have to force them to obey. It shows that you need to be humble. A humble man will have what he has sown. It will make you respectful and honourable. The proud will always have shame. Please humble yourself, and life will be more glorious for you. You will enjoy peaceful submission to others, God will always be on your side and fight for you. You will enjoy His grace for growth (James 4:7). It’s your turn to rise.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always humble myself.

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 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.
