TOPIC: REMEMBER YOUR CREATOR MEMORISE : Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; - (Ecclesiastes 12:1) READ : Mark 11:12-20 (KJV) 12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL: FAITHFUL CHRISTIAN WORKERS. Tuesday 10 February 2015

-


MEMORISE:
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 1 CORINTHIANS 4:2.

Read: Luke 12:37-38.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

Message
A Christian worker is a born- again child of God; a steward who has been entrusted with the careful use, control and management of Kingdom resources and possessions. The teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ on stewardship emphasised two things that are important: responsibility and accountability. Jesus speaking on responsibility in Luke 12:48:

'But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.'

According to Revelation 4:11, God created man and everything else for His pleasure. Individuals are therefore accountable for their God- given physical and spiritual endowments. Christians are also responsible for whatever is put in their care. The gifts and talents in our lives are to be used profitably for the expansion of the Kingdom of God. The Bible further states in Romans 14:12 that every one of us shall give account of himself to God, and in Romans 2:6 that God will render to every man according to his deeds. Consequently, every Christian workers is accountable to God. The Bible also admonishes us not to neglect our gift but to develop and polish them. 

'Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.' 1 Timothy 4:14.

Christians are to be wise stewards of their God-given gifts, talents and abilities. They are to serve with humility, total submission to authority and in the fear of God. They are to serve with gratitude to God and for the benefits of others. Christian workers in whatever department should not view the work of God as an opportunity to make money. The work should not be done with eye-service but as unto the Lord, who will faithfully reward those who diligently serve Him. Finally, whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might (Ecclesiastes 9:10), and don't be slothful in God's business, but rather be fervent in your physical and spiritual service to God( Romans 12:11). I pray that as you work fervently for God this year, He will reward you accordingly in Jesus' Name.

Prayer Point:
Father, please let the cup of my physical and spiritual blessings overflow this year in the Name of Jesus.

BIBLE IN A YEAR: Jeremiah 40-42 AND ACTS 23:12-35.

TOPIC: THE SNARE OF THE FOWLER 4 MEMORISE:  All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Corinthians 6:12 READ: Bible Reading Romans 6:1-23 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead w...

TOPIC: AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT  MEMORIZE   Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
