  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...

BELIEVE IN WORKING

Proverbs 28:14-22
Devotional:- “He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough!poverty” (v.19) NKJV

     Many people, especially Christians in this part of the world, have not woken up to the fact that nothing will fall from heaven. Everything a man will ever need is already provided here on Earth. We only need to be willing to work to locate them. From the day you begin to know that the blessing of God is waitıng at your work, your life will begin to change for good.

Today, so many people have this wrong conception about God’s blessing. So many have packed the church and are no longer working but praying. They believe someone will soon come to give them millions of naira, or that one day they will pick it on the road, or it will drop from an aircraft. Men of God could have this testimony because they work to lift people, so men must bless them in return. But do you know that your blessing, help and favour are waiting at your work as a reward (Proverbs 14:23; James 2:17; Philippians 2:12). 

Yes, God may use people to bless you at times, but it will be terrible if you spend your entire life waiting for what men may give you when God has given you what you can do in exchange for money. Stop chasing fantasies or building a castle in the air, i.e. pursuing things that are not real. Friend, go out and work. That one day you always think about may never come. I have never heard that one dollar mistakenly fell from an aircraft. Most people you are waiting on are also waiting on the Lord. God has promised to bless the work of your hands, so go and work. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to appreciate my ability to work and work out my salvation

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.
