TOPIC: MIND YOUR BUSINESS 2: Be Grateful 

Memory Verse: 1 These. 4:11
11. That you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you.

Bible Reading: Math. 25:18
“18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money.”
Ingratitude changes ones focus. It kills the attitude to work. Minding ones business involves gratitude to who entrusted you with a gift, responsibility or a talent. The master gave everyone talent(s) according to their ability, mind you, your ability can be measured by your attitude. When you lack a good attitude your performance will be limited which in turn affects your productivity. Minding ones business, makes you the focus and not the giver. He felt he was being wicked to the Master not knowing, he was minding someone else’s business leaving his own duty. Minding your business is a prove that, more can be entrusted to you.
Many of us feel relegated and reproached when lesser duty is being assign to us. We become ingrate instead of minding our business and go to work. For someone to entrust you with responsibility, you need to be grateful and convince him/her with productivity. He couldn’t mind his business, after comparison with colleagues, he felt the master was wicked and buried His gift. Be grateful for the little and mind your business to improve on it. It’s a beginning not your end. You just need to prove your worth.

TOPIC: MIND YOUR BUSINESS 1: Focus On Your Talent Not Others

Memory Verse: 1 These. 4:11
11. That you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you.

Bible Reading: Math. 25:18
“18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money.”
Minding one’s business has been a secret to success  which is hiding to many believers. Focusing on what you have been assigned and called to do is a secret to fulfilling God’s assignment. Those who focuses on other’s business looses their responsibility.
The man who received one talent from his master was a man who couldn’t mind his business. He,  comparing his talent with what others were given was a distraction. He felt discouraged, dug the ground and buried it. He would have mind his business to, at list, gain one more talent, because he was at an advantage to make profit of one more talent but he couldn’t focus and mind his business thereby missed out at the place of honour. Mind your business this year. Do what you can with what is available to you. Don’t waste that talent, it’s according to your ability. Put it to work and make the profit you can in your church, home, office and community. God is expecting an additional profit from you. Make profit this year.
Good morning.

Not Partiality

Many things we term favoritism are not actually what it looks like. You are just at an advantage than those people in that area of caring shown to them. Don’t feel abandoned because you are not being attended to like others. The elder brother need not to be welcome home, it’s the prodigal son that needs to be welcome to service. Focus and keep going, don’t be distracted.

Your Reward Is On The Way
Text: Luke 15:31-32
Some things about service is this,
it can’t be forgotten. 
It has a reward and the reward is always bigger than the service itself. 
Don’t loose focus on your commitment. God is the rewarder not the man/woman you are serving. The Father knew who served him and who wasted his resources, your continuous service has a greater reward if you will not quit.
http://mymobiledailydevotional.blogspot.com/2022/01/mobile-daily-devotional-with-pst_27.html
I pray today, every needed grace to put our dreams and discovery into action rest upon us, may our service start to speak for us, every effort of the devil to discourage us from our reward be expose and destroy in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
God bless you.

Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Fakunle Emmanuel Week 4, Day 6,

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON. (Part 2) 6: Your Reward Is On The Way

Memory Verse: Prov. 14:12
“12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But it’s end is the way of death.”

Bible Reading: Luke 15:31-32
“31 “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. 
32 It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.’ ”
Yesterday, we saw how committed servant felt when an uncommitted fellow (the Prodigal Son) was welcomed with the fatted calf. He made his anger known. He felt he wasn’t appreciated with all his commitment since the prodigal son left with his Inheritance. Many believed he refuse to ask his father what he deserve and that was why he was complaining, but I want to draw our attention to what the father said, 
“31 “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.”
“Son, You are always with me” simply means, “You have been serving me”, I recognise your services, so, therefore, “All I have is yours”, you still own all I have as a reward of your service.
What l like us to know is that, service can’t go unrewarded, 
Rev. 22:12, says, 
“And behold, I am coming quickly, and MY REWARD IS WITH ME, TO GIVE TO EVERY ONE  ACCORDING TO HIS WORK.”
“His Work” here stands for “His Service”: Your Service, My service, Our service. Mind you, the prodigal son has no service yet, he was only welcomed back. With the experience he has acquired, he also will resume to full time service just as His elder brother.
Are you discouraged that your services are not appreciated or recognised? Remember, God is the rewarder and not the man/woman you are serving. He will pay you your reward in due time. Don’t be discourage. Don’t relent. Keep serving, your reward is on the way. I pray for someone going through this devotional today, that the drop in your zeal for God, will be restored back in Jesus Mighty name, Amen. 
Good Morning.

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON. (Part 2) 5: Not Partiality

Memory Verse: Prov. 14:12
“12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But it’s end is the way of death.”

Bible Reading: Luke 15:25-27
“25 “Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard  music and dancing. 
26 So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.
27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.’
This lesson today is one of the most important lesson to note. Most often, this has been the occurrences in churches and even in our homes. The father welcomed the prodigal son with warmth embrace, killed the fastest calf for him, which was meant to be part of the inheritance of the elder brother. He came in and was angry and refuses to join the celebration. 
In Christiandom, New converts enjoys the grace of been favoured, attended to and been helped while many regular members always feel neglected. They see this as partiality and some become discourage in serving God to the extent of exiting the department, it shouldn’t be so. When God calls in new souls, they need to be cared for and show love in other to keep them in the vineyard. When the father cared for the prodigal son, it wasn’t with hatred to the elder son but with love for the lost soul. Don’t react to the love shown to those who repent of their ways, don’t be envious of them, join in showing them the love of God. You are not hated, you are a saved vessel already, be glad for that lost brother of yours, He/she was lost but now found. Welcome them with warmth embrace as God welcome them.
Good Morning.

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON. (Part 2) 4: Heaven Rejoices

Memory Verse: Prov. 14:12
“12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But it’s end is the way of death.”

Bible Reading: Luke 15:22-24.
“22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. 23 And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; 24 for this my son was  dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.”
There is Joy over every repentant soul who returned to God genuinely regardless of his/her past ways of life.
Luke 15:7, says,
“7 I say to you that  likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.”
The best way to create joy in heaven is by saving a soul into God’s kingdom or a sinner renouncing his/her old ways. The father wasn’t concerned about the resources lost, the time wasted, or his suffering, He was happy that his lost son; the rebelled child was back, because all through, his mind was with him, seeking for his return. Likewise, this is how God feels about you if you are still wandering without Christ in your life. If you are that child that makes his/her parent bitter always, they are waiting for your repentance. If you’ve been frustrating your spouse in marriage; they long for your return. Are you that spouse who is not in support of the ministry of your partner? Your repentant heart is what that minister need. God is reaching out to you wherever you are today, He wants the Heavens to rejoice for your home coming, delay may be dangerous. Make Heavens happy and the angels jubilate for your return to your rightful place. I pray the Holy Spirit will convince you today, in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
Good Morning.

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON. (Part 2) 3: Humble Yourself Before God

Memory Verse: Prov. 14:12
“12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But it’s end is the way of death.”

Bible Reading: Luke 15:21
21 And the son said to  him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
Genuine repentance comes with soberness. Ability to see your wrong, accept it and apologize is the prove of repentance.
2 Chronic. 7:14, says,
“14 if My people who are called by My  name will humble themselves, …”
Being people of God doesn’t neglect pride. We might be called the “people of God” and still live arrogantly to God and men. The prodigal son became a humble child to his father, he apologized for his past mistakes, and wasn’t seeking for a place as a son but as a slave in the empire of His Father. This humility and changed of heart proved that, he has learnt his lessons and become a different person. It’s not returning home alone but being sober and willing to face the consequences of your past sins. Going back to those you’ve wrong not to seek for help this time around but to seek forgiveness. 
Luke 18:10-14
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The  Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ 13 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other;  for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Be the tax collector not the Pharisee. Be humble before God.
Good Morning.

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON. (Part 2) 2: Go Back Home.

Memory Verse: Prov. 14:12
“12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But it’s end is the way of death.”

Bible Reading: Luke 15:20
“20 “… But when he was still a great way off, his father saw  him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.”
When God lay it in your heart to take a step, He already had an arrangement for you before your arriver. God wouldn’t lead you to shame, for He said, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jere. 29:11.
God had prepared the heart of the father for the arrival of His son. The fact is, The heart of the father had never forsaken the prodigal son despite His attitude. No matter how wicked a father may be, he wouldn’t forget his precious son come what may. The prodigal son was welcomed back home with an open hand, despite he coming back empty. 
I don’t know who you are, God is speaking to someone this moment. It’s time to go back home, time to trace your steps home. He is waiting for you. Your home might be the presence of God, your marriage (spouse), your parent, your boss or your siblings, even your children. God is not that wicked to hold unto your past. He is merciful, ready to welcome you back home. Likewise, that person has let you go off his/her heart, go back and seek redress with that person. It’s time to Go Back Home.

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON. (Part 2) 1: Taking Action.

Memory Verse: Prov. 14:12
“12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But it’s end is the way of death.”

Bible Reading: Luke 15:20
“20 “And he arose and came to his father. …”
The prodigal son came to his senses, realising His wrong steps. He thought of what to do and how to go about, then took the first right step of his life, “And he arose and came to his father”. There are many ideas, good step and visions in the heart of men, waiting for the right step to be taken. Life is not about discovering oneself but taking action in that direction. The Lord has laid in many hearts to do some things but the acting spirit is lacking. Many would have been made known to their generations but lack of taking action has stagnated them.
God can’t run your vision for you. He can only reveal to you, yours is to act on it, take the needed step and run the vision. You need to get information and use it, then the new you emerges according to the plans of God. Take a bold step, act on that information and transform to the purpose of God for your life. I challenge you today, take the step and work it out, God is waiting for you at the end. Work with the idea you have. God bless you. 
Good Morning.

Memory Verse: Prov. 14:12
“12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But it’s end is the way of death.”
Day 1
WRONG REQUEST
Text: Luke 15:12
Like the younger son, many Christians have been asking God for wants instead of needs. Life is in stages and we are all in sizes, be patience in your request. Seek for God’s will for your life not your own will alone. Make the right request from God and men.

WRONG DECISION
Text: Luke 15:13
Many Christians are acting like the prodigal son. When God grant their heart desires, they turn their back on God. Watch your decisions after the blessing of God over your life. Don’t be like the prodigal son who made wrong decision to leave his father after requesting for his inheritance wrongly. You still need God in all you do. Seek God and His will.
http://mymobiledailydevotional.blogspot.com/2022/01/mobile-daily-devotional-with-pst_16.html

RESOURCES WASTER
Luke 15:13
How are you living your life? Are you a waster of resources?  Do you only care about “Now Mentality” or “Tomorrow Mentality”?  When you waste God’s resources, it stops growing. You compete with the highly placed, celebrities and wise spenders. Be wise with what you have. Don’t be a waster, use those resources wisely.
