THEME: My Place In The King’s Business. IV.

MEMORY VERSE:
“Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.”
1 Corinthians 4:1.

TODAY’S TEXT:
1 Corinthians 4:4-5.
“For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we observe that wisdom, knowledge and understanding are part of the recipes needed to be productive in divine assignment.
Meanwhile, as one body, has many parts, and all parts work together for the good of the one body. So also, we are all parts of this glorious one body of Christ Jesus. With our own peculiarity and strength. For the scripture affirms it in Philippians 2:3 saying; *”Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.”*
More so, it is important to note that, by ourselves we know nothing, we can do nothing and we amount to nothing. For, it is God that endowed us with grace to function according to the measure of grace at our disposal.
Furthermore, Hebrews 12:1 declare thus; *and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.”* Dear friend, let us not forget, that we are in a race, and our reward will be based on our achievement, not how far but how well.
Finally, Ephesians 4:1 crowns it saying; _”…I beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called.”_ Beloved, let us on daily basis, honourably perform or carry out our duties before God and man, to which the faithful rewarder, will reward our labour of love.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
With God, I can do all things through Christ Jesus, who strengthens me.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, help me not to forget my place in Christ Jesus. Give me grace to honourably and diligently carry out my responsibilities in the body of Christ and in the world in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
