TODAY'S DEVOTION. YOU NEED SKILLS TO PROSPER PART 1

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE.“Rendering service readily with goodwill, as to the Lord and not to men, Knowing that for whatever good anyone does, he will receive his reward from the Lord, whether he is slave or free.”(Ephesians‬ ‭6:7-8‬ ‭AMPC‬‬)

Skill means ability, technical know how or expertise in a field. Ecclesiastes 9:11 says "The race is not for the swift, nor the battle to the strong neither bread to the wise nor riches to men of understanding nor favour to men of skill."

Every profession requires skill if not you cannot excel in life. If you are not skillful, you cannot go far in life. This is applicable in every profession. If you do not exhibit skill in life you cannot stand before kings.

Develop multiple skills. One easy way to develop multiple skills is to give  heed to this scripture; ‘whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it with all thy might’. David tended sheep, played the harp skillfully and was a man of war. His first job was to tend sheep, but he also played the harp to calm the flock and keep himself occupied.

In addition,he learnt to war protecting his herd from dangerous animals. He had to use a sling and he used it well. Those skills brought him to the palace. You cannot remain relevant just because you have a degree! What else can you do? What problems can you solve? How creative are you?

TODAY'S WISDOM
Life is dynamic. If you keep doing things the same way, you will soon be irrelevant. Those born of the Spirit are dynamic.

SUNDAY, 17TH  SEPTEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.RAIN OF IDEAS FOR PROSPERITY PART 2. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE. "Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:" (Joel 2:23, 28 KJV). The Bible records that Abraham became very rich in cattle,silver and gold. But how did he become outstanding and outshine other bussinessmen? Through the rain of divine ideas by the Holy Ghost which came in response to his giving. Abraham dug wells for his cattle instead of them going about. By divine inspiration he knew what to do to get fatter and fresher cattle and sheep. Isaac also got the secret of irrigation by the re...

POTTERS TOUCH DEVOTIONAL. SATURDAY, 16TH DECEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION. WRONG PRAISES!

POTTERS TOUCH DEVOTIONAL. SATURDAY, 16TH DECEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION. WRONG PRAISES! TODAY'S SCRIPTURE ."The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican." (Luke 18:11 KJV). There are good ways to praise God and also wrong ways of doing it. Indeed high praises open doors before God but the man in the verse above praised God and his door was closed. Why? Because he did it in a wrong way. Never praise God in an attempt to intimidate and condemn others. Do not ever engage in praise and thanksgiving to show you are better than people around you. High praises ought to be with a deep sense of humility to God i.e it is by grace and not by your own effort. When your praises makes people get offended at God as if God is partial it is wrong. This is common with testimonies during thanksgiving, some believers make it look as if others are not serving God enough. ...
