1. Samuel 24:5-6

Some people spend their lives building their own little empires, focused on their own needs, wants, circumstances, and fears. But others focus on building God’s Kingdom in this world—and find their life’s true power, fulfilment, and freedom. Join Bible teacher Berni Dymet from Christianityworks as he opens the Bible to discover how you can get your heart right, see things from God’s perspective, and make your life count.

God is always looking to use men and women for His glory. The Bible tells us that the eyes of the Lord go throughout the Earth looking for someone through whom He will show Himself strong (2 Chronicles 16:9). In the selection of the people He uses, God does not consider giftings or personal achievements, but availability and readiness of heart. Based on his book – “And they shall be called the Sons of God,” Tolu Oyewole teaches in this devotional plan that God is not looking for VIPs, but He is looking for SVPs – Servants, Visionaries, and Partners. You will learn, based on the examples of the heroes of the Bible, what it means to be a servant, to have a genuine vision and to partner with the Holy Spirit.
