  LEARN TO RELATE Romans 12:14-21  Devotional:- “Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited” (v. 16) NIV. We live in a world today that promotes youthful excesses more than that of the mature. We do this in the name of youthful innovations. That is why no office wants to employ relatively old individuals any more. It’s a competitive world. This is making a greater percentage of the world fail in the area of relationships. This is because it is a youthful idea to think you don’t need others. The world of this age is trying to build self-sufficient people. This is the reason many have not learnt the wisdom of relationships. For this reason, today, many people don’t have a home. Many have lost their job and joy. Many have missed many opportunities. The scripture we read today teaches us the right attitude to enjoy a relationship with others. Be careful of pride or overvaluing yourself (Romans 12:...

SELF ENCOURAGEMENT

SELF ENCOURAGEMENT

Luke 15:11-24
Devotional:- “I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,” (v.18) NKJV

So many people in the world today are groaning in sorrow under the pressure of challenges of life because they lack the wisdom of self-encouragement. The truth you have to accept is that there are not many people to encourage you in this world. More people and situations will discourage you. It is important that you know that joy is the fuel of your courage to achieve in life. So, you must learn to encourage yourself.

If the prodigal son does not encourage himself, he will simply die in his sorrow. It is true he committed an error, yet he refused to be a victim of his error. He refused to die for his mistake. Do you know that failure is refusing to rise from falling? After all, we have seen babies who fall into gutters, yet their mother will pick them up, clean them, and they are still good babies.

Friend, if you allow sorrow to bury your destiny, it is your fault. God will not listen to any reason why you fail. You'd better encourage yourself and stop those crocodile and chicken tears (1 Samuel 30:1-6). Stand up like a man and rise back to joy. Most great men today were once failures. Rise to success. It is well.

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me to rise again.

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.
