MFM Daily Devotional 22 May 2021 Outline
As Christians, we are called to be outstanding and exemplary in our conduct, relationship and performance. Jesus is unequalled, so should we. This is not just at home but also in the workplace or anywhere we engage in our day to day activities.
Who are you, brother? Who do people call you, sister? Are you that Christian you claim to be in word and in deed? We are the salt and the light of the world, according to our Fire Scripture for today. Do you really shine the light of Jesus in that market place?
How much of value do you contribute to people and issues? Are you a sweetener or too bitter to swallow? Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, it is valueless. How much of Christ do you project in your business?
The Bible tells of Lydia, a business woman who not only believed in Christ but opened her home to the ministers of God, a demonstration of love and hospitality. Do you engage in greedy gains in your business transactions? Do you get involved in bribery, corruption and other kinds of falsifications? Is your measuring cut adjusted?
How much of the scale have you tampered with? (Prov. 11:1, 20:10, 23). Beloved, the devil is the Prince of this world and is in charge of the disobedient ones. But you are different! Honesty and integrity are the hallmarks of God’s children. Others may, but you cannot. It is God that gives wealth that prospers and endures.
Any human attempt to manipulate will lead to eventual poverty and sin before God. Anywhere a Christian finds himself, he has to make a difference like the salt and light of the world. He or she should be able to make an impact for Christ within the environment. Jesus spent a significant portion of His life among the unbelievers, fulfilling His redemptive purpose among them.
The Bible is full of practical business ideas that have proven effective in the work place since the beginning of time. The bottom line for Christian business and economic activities is not just financial (1Cor. 3:13-15) but eternal gains. Your business strategy must include conscious efforts to invite others to follow you as you follow Jesus.
As a business man or woman, you must allow the presence of God to dwell in your business premises and activities by practising holiness and righteousness in all your dealings.
You must be empowered and controlled by the Holy Spirit, using your economic power as a means of expanding the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Memory verse
Deut. 8:18 – But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day

I decree that whatever you lay your hand upon shall prosper, in the name of Jesus.

Thou Lamb of God who died for me;
O may I ever faithful be,
My Saviour and my God!

I’ll live for Him who died for me,
How happy then my life shall be!
I’ll live for Him who died for me,
My Saviour and my God!

For Thou hast died that I might live;
And now henceforth I’ll trust in Thee,

To save my soul and make me free,
I’ll consecrate my life to Thee,
My Saviour and my God!
