  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...

IN HIS WILL

IN HIS WILL

2 Corinthians 1:1-15
Devotional:- “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia” (v.1) NKJV
 

    Sometimes when we are faced with diverse persecutions or trials, we ask if God has called us. Some even condemn themselves and comment that God has left them. At such a time, many Christians just go about as though God is no more for them, and in most cases, the devil wants to take advantage and bring discouragement and frustration. Sometimes when our expectation is not forthcoming as we expect, we are often found in this situation.

Whatever the case may be, no matter how bad the circumstance may look like, make sure you are in the centre of the will of God. Make sure you are not rebelling against God. This is the reason many have been facing persistent frustration. God is not a wicked God, but outside His will, you may find things difficult. The enemy will look too strong when we are out of His will. Despite his slavery experience, Daniel resolved not to defile himself, and he was brought into glory. Joseph, despite his problems and challenges yet he remained in the will of God, and he was brought into the palace in Egypt.

The scripture we read today shows us Paul, an Apostle in the will of God. If you are in His will, though you may face trials but your matter will always turn out to be a testimony (Luke 21:12-13). Friend, check up. Don’t just continue suffering. Ask yourself, am I in the will of God? If you are not, relocate yourself into His will, and you will begin to recover all that you’ve lost. 

Prayer: Lord, reveal your will for my life to me.

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.
