MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Monday May 4, 2020
Topic: Be Consistent
Text: 2 Timothy 4:1 – 8
Consistency
is one of the bedrocks for excellence. Before you can make your mark that will
bring you to the podium for recognition, you would have shown a great deal of
consistency in your career.
Today,
‘My Daily Covenant with God’ is gaining popularity because I refused to be
discouraged by what people say or do. I have weathered the storm in the past
years and refused to give up. These are some of the lessons I learnt from our
mentor, Robin Sharma in his book, ‘A Leader who had no title.’ How determined
are you to make it to the podium in your career? It demands consistency. Are
you already washing your net? Don’t give up. A little more effort will make all
the difference in your career in Jesus name.
In
our text, Paul was telling Timothy that his call demands consistency in
preaching and teaching of the word of God; being ready in season and out of
season to preach, teach, discipline, etc., (2 Timothy 4:2). This is the only
way he can make his mark as a pastor.
This
call to be consistent is not only in the Christian ministerial work. Such
consistency is needed in all the careers of life. Before you be known in your
career, you would have shown more commitment, zeal, dedication, passion,
enthusiasm, etc., more than others you work with.
How
passionate, committed and enthusiastic are you in your work as a minister of
the gospel; as a Christian, as a teacher, trader, artisan, civil/public
servant, etc.? Be consistent because that will bring you to the peak of your career
in Jesus name.
Food for Thought: How consistent are you in your Christianity and career?
Memory verse: 2 Timothy 4:2
Prayer:
Help me O Lord, to be consistent in my Christian race and career so I will make
it to the podium at last in Jesus name.
