  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...

I CAN

Philippians 4:10-17
Devotional:- “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (V. 13) NKJV

    There is a need for everyone to know that they are what they say they are. Man by nature, is created with great riches to be able to do many things to the glory of God. If you sometimes sit down to observe what men are doing, you will notice that they are amazing. Yet men have not been able to perform up to 40% of what God has given us the capacity to do, even with all the electronic devices, computers, automobiles and air or space machines. 

The reason for this limitation of men is because of the sin factor. It has not allowed us to attain the fullness of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). It has not allowed us to maximise the beauty of God’s ability in us for creativity. Today, there are so many heathen nations that are doing wonderfully in their industrial productivity. Yet the people with the mind of Christ have refused to wake up (1 Corinthians 2:10-16).

If we begin to take to the wisdom of exploiting our mind, couple with the grace of the presence of God with us, then our exploits shall know no limit. If Christ is the source of your strength, then you can do all things. Tap into that faith and go into every challenge with His strength available for you. Always give yourself to learning and searching for the better way out. Don’t ever say you cannot. Greater is He that is in you than He that is in the world. Stop being doubtful. Your yesterday does not determine your tomorrow. God’s mercies are new every morning. You can do it.

Prayer: Lord, by your grace and mercy, I am rising.

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.
