Topic — Kingdom Service: A Way To A Life Of Honour [Seeds of Destiny 25 April 2019 Devotional]

When you serve the Master, you draw from the benefits that flow from the Master naturally.

SCRIPTURE: Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured. Proverbs 27:18

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When you serve the Master, you draw from the benefits that flow from the Master naturally.

Previously, we saw that it is God’s desire for His people to live in honour and glory. We saw that there are secrets that a child of God has to know and practice in order to live this honourable life.

Today we shall be looking at yet another secret to living an honourable life, and that is kingdom service.

Our anchor scripture tells us that, ‘…he who waits on his master shall be honoured, and (this includes God, the Master of the universe).

Kingdom service is a secret to a life of honour. In the Book of First Samuel Chapter 9, and in Verse 6, Samuel was referred to as an honourable man.

Beloved, you cannot genuinely serve God and die in mockery and reproach. Whenever you carry the mantle of service, you are carrying a crown of honour. When you serve the Master, you draw from the benefits that flow from the Master naturally. The things that belong to the Master overflow to you by virtue of your service to Him.

My counsel is, give yourself to God in service. Do not waste your time going to Church and doing nothing for God. Do not just be a bench warmer, an ordinary hand-clapper, or an amen-shouter that is absolutely uninvolved in the affairs of God’s house; it is a waste of time and life. There are many things God cannot do with a man whom He has not found useful. Serve God faithfully.

REMEMBER THIS: When you serve the Master, you draw from the benefits that flow from the Master naturally.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Endeavour to involve yourself in a department in Church if you have not done so.
2. Serve God faithfully in the assignment of soul-winning (John 15:16).

PRAYER: O Lord, I ask for the grace to serve You continually. Help me Know You and serve You faithfully, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 25 April 2019 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Christians In Business (I)

Click HERE for Previous MESSAGES by Pastor D.K. Olukoya

TOPIC: Christians In Business (I) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 25 April 2019)

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Samuel 21-22; Luke 18:24-43

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Deuteronomy 8:14-18

MEMORY VERSE: “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” – Philippians 4:6

The MESSAGE:

Christians are expected to be involved in business so as to show the world how to do legitimate business and give people the required template to follow, by not conforming to the pattern of this world (Romans 12:2).

When a Christian is involved in a business, it should be seen as a divine calling where he can find his role in God’s plan to touch lives positively. Business is to provide goods and services to the community and it is only the institution that creates economic value and adds value into the system.

Believers in business need to be careful with their language not to be worldly and to do things in a way that glorifies God. Doing business for Him is the most open yet hidden secret on the earth of doing business God’s way. God’s blessing is a supernatural empowerment of His goodness and love for you as an entrepreneur.

A Christian in business should not compromise his or her faith in God as other people do especially in business. The Bible makes it clear that God does not condone compromising His standards. Matthew 6:24 says, “No man can serve two masters…”

Not compromising requires our total obedience to Him to do the right things, not to cheat people or take advantage of them especially in business. Romans 13:14 says, But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make not provision for the flesh to fulfil the lust thereof.”

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN, FOR THE LORD WILL NOT HOLD HIM GUILTLESS THAT TAKETH HIS NAME IN VAIN.

PROPHETIC WORD:
The fourth man in the fire will appear in your business for divine perfection.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1. My life shall propagate the gospel and glorify the name of God, in the name of Jesus.
2. I receive God’s supernatural blessing in my business, in the name of Jesus.
3. Power assigned to make me compromise my faith in Christ, die, in the name of Jesus.
   EVENING
4. Spiritual robber assigned to steal my goodness and business, die now, in the name of Jesus.
5. Mercy of God, deliver me and my business from destruction, in the name of Jesus.
6. My life and business shall not collapse and die, in the name of Jesus.
7. Anointing of ease, fall upon my business, in the name of Jesus.

Open Heaven 25 April 2019 Thursday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – There Is Work To Do

Click HERE for Previous Open Heaven Devotional

Topic: There Is Work To Do (Open Heaven 25 April 2019)

Memorise: “As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.”- Proverbs 26:14

Read: Hebrews 4:8-11 (KJV)

8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 31, Jeremiah 25:1-16

Open Heaven 25 April 2019 Thursday MESSAGE:

Life is a call to service. At the end of it, God has set a day of reckoning, when everyone must appear before the judgment seat of Christ to receive the reward of their stewardship, according to what they have done on earth, whether good or bad (2 Corinthians 5:10). When God created the world, He ordained work as a means of rendering service, in order for man to find fulfillment and obtain reward or praise. He also introduced regular periods of rest for man, just as He rested after creating the world. However, many people are over-stretching the need for rest by misusing and wasting away precious time. Such people forget that time measures life, and so time-wasting is a deadly shortcoming.

“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” –Genesis 1:28

God’s mandate to mankind in this scripture shows that we are called to a life of service. The Holy Spirit further tells us that we only have one opportunity to make good use of the gift that life is. In Hebrews 9:27 He says:

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”

Knowing then that we have only one life to live, let us live our lives maximally for the glory of God. The story of David, the shepherd boy who later became king of Israel, serves as a perfect example in this case. As a little boy, David was in the wilderness, busy managing his family’s wealth. He was putting his life at risk while his brothers enjoyed the protective environment of the town with its fun and entertainment. Nevertheless, David carried out his duty without complaining, and he used the opportunity of his time in the wilderness to polish his musical talent and shooting skills. Down the line, his proficiency in music singled him out to play for the king, while his skill with the catapult was harnessed in the destruction of Goliath the blasphemer and enemy of God. Your diligence will single you out for honor in Jesus’ Name. On the other hand, excessive rest leads to idleness, laziness, boredom and a multitude of other sins that rush in to fill the vacuum created by idleness. Quite obviously, it was excessive rest and idleness that paved the way for David’s fall into adultery and murder (2 Samuel 11:1-5). Furthermore, Ezekiel 16:49 confirms that the “abundance of idleness” played a major role in the sins and eventual destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. How busy are you with the work God has placed in your hands?

Open Heaven 25 April 2019 Thursday Prayer Point:

Father, please help me to discharge my duties well and finish strong, in Jesus’ Name.

Open Heaven 25 April 2019 Thursday Hymn 15: Must I Go, and Empty-Handed

1 “Must I go, and empty-handed,”
Thus my dear Redeemer meet?
Not one day of service give Him,
Lay no trophy at His feet?

Chorus:
“Must I go, and empty-handed?”
Must I meet my Savior so?
Not one soul with which to greet Him:
Must I empty-handed go?

2 Not at death I shrink nor falter,
For my Savior saves me now;
But to meet Him empty-handed,
Thought of that now clouds my brow.

3 O the years in sinning wasted;
Could I but recall them now,
I would give them to my Savior,
To His will I’d gladly bow.

4 O ye saints, arouse, be earnest,
Up and work while yet ’tis day;
Ere the night of death o’ertake thee,
Strive for souls while still you may.
