A Productive Steward – By Pastor David Okoye

That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. Colossians 1:10

Monday daily devotional by Pastor David Okoye (Ambassadors Word Diet, 20th NOV, 2017) – A productive steward

Do not live your life on excuses. THERE IS NO EXCUSE THAT JUSTIFIES FAILURE!

Many are comfortable with where they are emotionally, spiritually, mentally and even financially because they have reasons to justify why they are where they are. They know that there is so much more they can become, but they justify their shortcomings.

God has given you all that you need, and the rest is up to you. Realize that there is no one more advantageous than you. But the more excuses you make; the more failures will keep triumphing in your life.

Look at Joshua when he battled against the Amorites in Joshua 10. Just when they were expected to give up for no battle is fought in darkness, Joshua did the impossible. He commanded the sun and moon to stand still until he had completely annihilated his enemies. The night submitted to his success.

Until you start taking responsibility for yourself, you will fail.

God cannot deal with us differently than he dealt with Christ because we are joint-heirs with him. You are hoping for God to perform a miracle and the Lord is hoping for you to do the miracle.

The kingdom of heaven cannot do anything until a righteous man does something.

God does not bless you casually. There are questions God expects you to ask yourself first before you ask Him because He has given you His authority.

A son who runs to the father every time he is faced with a challenge is a child. When you become a son in the family, your sonship is recognized by the responsibilities you have taken up in the family. Just like Jesus walked and worked the family business, you ought to be the same.

Things should not be going wrong in the family when you are there.

Oh! Little wonder the Father proclaimed from heaven about Jesus this is my beloved son with whom I am well pleased.

DECLARATION:
I am a son in the house of God. I am responsible and productive. God can count on me.
