STRENGTH IN GOD 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 Devotional:- “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” (V4) NKJV Many Christians today have so much confusion about their strength in God. It has made the church think that a few limited people can demonstrate the strength of God. So, multitudes are weak in strength. Though they come to church, yet in times of challenges, you see them rushing to another Christian whom they know to be stronger in God. Neglecting the fact that a New Testament believer is a potential priest and king for Christ (Revelation 5:10; Mark 16:17).

ATMOSPHERE OF GOD’S KINGDOM
Romans 14:14-23 Devotional: “for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (v. 17)
For a man who is living in God’s kingdom, the atmosphere around his life will be different from that of the world. Everywhere such people turns to they carry around this atmosphere. They don’t get polluted by the atmospheric condition but influences everywhere with the atmosphere they carry around.
The word of God says, this atmosphere is composed of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. A citizen of this kingdom knows the power of doing the will of God (Proverbs 28:1). This is standing right with God, which is righteousness. When we live to please Him, what others are dying to get shall be added unto us (Matt 6:33). Peace is a normal experience of those who depend on God indeed (Isaiah 26:3). Joy is always the product of a peaceful heart.
Friend, you ought not to just be in this atmosphere but introduce it wherever you are by the help of the Holy Spirit. With it, you will spread the atmosphere of the kingdom of God by your glowing life. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, make my life to exhibit the atmosphere of your kingdom.
“THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE KINGDOM MAKES YOU SHINE AMONG OTHERS”
MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.
FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans? If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.
