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).

FOUNDATION OF THE KINGDOM
1 Peter 2:1-10 Read: “Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."” (v. 6)
Jesus laid the foundation of the kingdom of God we are in today. He has brought us in as a domain of God. (Colossians 1:13). This foundation was laid by the blood He shed on the cross of Calvary. This is the major reason He died on the cross that we might be brought in and be purchased into God by His blood. (Revelation 5:9-10). This foundation was prophesied by the prophets in Isaiah 28:16, 8:14.
Jesus was speaking about the foundation of this kingdom in Luke 20:17-18. Apostle Peter also refer to it as the Chief corner stone (1 Peter 2:6). This is because the blood of Jesus contains the life of Christ (Leviticus 17:11). He became the sacrifice for our salvation and the price of our redemption (Revelation 5:9-10).
That is why no power can tamper with you because your life is built on the life of Christ (Colossians 3:3). Whoever wants to destroy you must be destroyed. Why? Jesus died to give you this salvation and who ever want to take you from it must die too. No matter what you are faced with, you cannot be ashamed but overcome. The life of Christ will always fight for you and give you victory (Revelation 12:11). Peace!
Prayer: Lord, help me to stand firm on this foundation of Christ.
“YOUR FOUNDATION IN CHRIST CAN NO MORE BE MOLESTED, THE OLD IS OVER FOREVER”
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.
