TOPIC:  Invest in Your Personal Development

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Nehemiah 2; Nehemiah 3; Nehemiah 4; Luke 23; Luke 24

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 6: 10-15 
10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
John 8:39

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: You must grow to change.

PRAISE AND WORSHIP: Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: Any power assigned to demote you shall die, in the name of Jesus.

MFM Daily Devotional 18 May 2024 Message

One major thing that helps anybody to grow or make progress in every aspect of life is personal development. Anyone who desires change, improvement, success and progress must take personal development very seriously. Such an individual must be intentional about it. Lack of personal development is known to be the cause of stagnancy, poverty and a life of no impact. If you must move forward in life and touch lives positively, you must invest in personal development.
It does not come cheap. That is why we are talking about investment. You need to pay the price. All great men and women of God, who are doing amazingly well, are working very hard to achieve their dreams. One of the ways through which you can develop yourself spiritually, physically, economically, etc is by reading.

READ MFM Daily Devotional 17 May 2024 – Help when Facing Life’s Battles

You must invest in books. Apostle Paul was an avid reader. In the list of things he asked Timothy to bring to him were his parchments and books. Books help to expand your knowledge and increase your intelligence. Apostle Paul worked hard to fulfil the calling of God upon his life. He did not take it with levity (1 Corinthians 9: 16). He understood the grave consequences of failing in his calling; so he never wanted to fail. Self-development involves other series of activities such as learning new skills, spiritual development, etc.

Father Abraham was a hardworking man. Slothfulness was never found in him. Genesis 12:5 says, “And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.” The children of Abraham will do the works of Abraham as Jesus told the people in John 8: 39. To make an impact in life, you must invest in self-development.
