  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...

START FROM THERE

2 Kings 4:1-7
Devotional:- “So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil"” (V. 2) NKJV

    One of the tricks the devil wants to employ on us is to make us think we don’t have what we need to succeed. That is why most people often think that if they have certain things, they would have been able to make it. But if we want to face the reality of life right in our hands and hearts lies what can make us succeed. We indeed need the help and favour of God, but they will only catch up with us when we are using the one we have wisely. 

The woman we read about also felt she didn’t have what it takes to make it. So she goes about complaining. It was when she met the man of God, that he let her know that the little she had was enough for her success. Her willingness to start with what she has brougth her to her miracle. When she obeyed the instruction of the man of God in faith, her miracle was delivered and she became free from debt.

Friend, you already have what can transform your life. It is complaints and ignorance that have hidden them from you so far. If only you will value that talent, that potential, that thing you know now or that little money or materials with you. Be willing to discipline yourself to start labouring with them, thinking and organising yourself to grow; you will see that God is with you. That little will soon become big (Job 8:7)

Prayer: Lord, help me to appreciate your grace upon my life.

“UNTIL YOU APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE, A BIGGER ONE MAY NOT COME”

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.
