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).

ESTABLISHING THE KINGDOM
Luke 4: 42-44 Devotional: “But He said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent" (v. 43) NKJV
It is important that we know that the kingdom of God can only be established as we preach the word of God (Luke 10:8-9, Romans 1:16). That is why we should preach the gospel with boldness and the love of God in our heart. It is when the Spirit of God takes over the heart of a man that his life become the place where Jesus rules (Romans 8:14). What is therefore the relevant of preaching the gospel?
Jesus says the word that I speak to you, they are Spirit and they are life (John 6:63). Please understand that the spirits moves through the vehicles of information. Whoever you are listening to is communicating his/her spirit to you (Mark 4:24, Proverbs 13:20). So, when the word of God is been shared by a believer the Spirit of God is been transmitted to the hearer for faith to receive the gospel (Hebrews 4:2, Ezekiel 2:2). Jesus came to establish the kingdom of God on the earth and He knows He can do this by preaching the gospel (Romans 10:14-17).
As Spirit filled believer, our weapon of establishing and expanding the kingdom of God is by preaching the gospel (2 Timothy 4:1-2). So, do it with joy from now and your feet shall be ordained with Favour wherever you turn to in Jesus name (Romans 10:15). Peace!
Prayer: Lord, ordain my mouth for the gospel from now
“ESTABLISHING GOD’S KINGDOM MAKES A LIFE FULL OF GOD”
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.
