PRETENDING

  PRETENDING Proverbs 13:1-10 Devotional:- “There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches” (v.7) NKJV One other instrument of the devil to steal people’s joy is to fill their hearts with pretence. To pretend is to behave or talk like, or put yourself in a status, that you are not. It is to use what you don’t have to impress people who do not like you. It is to give people a false impression about you. This always results in a show of shame and sorrow. In the scripture we read today, there is the picture of a poor man who pretended to be rich. Who is he deceiving? Today you will see some people borrowing to spray at a party. Some will arrive at a beer parlour and ask everybody to be served, while at home, there is no food, and children's school fees are yet to be paid. Some are known to be very good outside to their secretaries, receptionists and the like, while at home they don’t have any credibility (Proverbs 12:9, Job 2...

KINGS OF THE KINGDOM

KINGS OF THE KINGDOM   

Revelation 5: 8-14
Read: “And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth” (V. 10)



    In the kingdom of God, Jesus is the King of kings, but there are kings (Revelation 19:16). These are the ones who stand for Him in places on the earth. These are His ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20). These are His representatives on the earth. These are the ones who rules over the forces of darkness by faith in Christ Jesus (Mark 16:17-18). These are the ones who are taking territory for Jesus. This office is given to all true believers who is taking their place in God. They know their position in God (Daniel 11:32). They know the authority they have in Christ over devil, sickness, sorrow and all the works of the enemy.
 
   Friend, it is either you are ruling in Christ or you are been ruled by the enemy. The truth is that Jesus has given authority to all believers to be able to take dominion over the forces of life (Luke 10:19). If you are been dominated in any way, it is because you are not dominating. If you are a child of God, understand that you are to take charge for God wherever you are.
 
   Make up your mind to join the rulers in Christ Jesus. This is by seeking to know Him (Daniel 11:32). Stop been a nominal Christian who just attend the church on Sundays. That way, the enemy will cunningly be ruling in your affairs. Draw near to Christ and He will draw near to you. (James 4:8). Willingly give yourself to learning His word to know Him (Philippians 3:10). Then you shall be a sign, a wonder and unstoppable in your world. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, strengthen me to draw near to you.
 
“YOU ARE EITHER DOMINATING OR BEEN DOMINATED”

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

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
