  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...

CREATED STRONG

Genesis 1:26-31
Devotional:- “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (V. 27) NKJV

    The word of God is so clear about the nature and the purpose of the creation of Man. When God finished creating all He wanted to create, He needed someone who would take charge and manage the earth. I believe the first world created by God in his beauty and glory was taken over by the devil and darkness. And it became formless and void (Genesis 1:1-2).

So, God knew that He had to put a creature in place that would be stronger than the devil. This was what necessitated the empowerment of man at creation with the nature and potential to adequately function in his position as the king of the earth. God wanted a strong being that would be able to terminate and conquer the forces of wickedness. So, He had to make man in His image and likeness. He made him God-kind on earth so that he could be as strong as God. It was sin that brought man down to producing mankind. Adam was God kind.

That is why the devil couldn’t come close to him and had to pass through his wife. Jesus became the second Adam, so that Man may have his divinity restored (1 Corinthians 15:45). Now that you are a child of God, please know that you are now god through Jesus Christ (John 10:34-35). Christ came to show us how to live in the divine nature that God had created us to live in (2 Peter 1:4; John 14:12). This will never manifest until you fellowship daily with Him. Whatever you need to do is to be done by faith in God. You need to return to your strength in Christ. This is by creating time to fellowship with God in His word and time of prayer. Create time out of your busy schedules (Isaiah 40:31). Then your strength will be restored and you will find your victory in life. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, I return to my place in Christ in Jesus' name.

“YOU HAVE THE NATURE OF HE THAT GIVES BIRTH TO YOU”

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.
