HE GIVES STRENGTH Isaiah 40:21-31 Devotional:- “He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength” (v.29) NKJV It often looks intimidating to suddenly discover that you are not as strong as you used to be. This is a state in which you can’t just locate your strength. One thing or the other has sapped them. Such cases might make some people afraid; those things of which they have boasted seem not to be there again. Others may think that at this time, the enemy might come to take advantage of them.

ROLE OF THE CITIZEN
Revelation 11:15-19 Devotional: “Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!"” (v. 15)
In every kingdom, the citizens have responsibilities they must be involved in. There are benefits for a citizen to enjoy in the kingdom he/she belongs, but there are also enormous responsibilities to be carried out. When you see a citizen suffering in his country, he probably may not be doing what he ought to do to enjoy the blessings of the country.
The role of the citizen of the kingdom of God on earth is to enthrone Jesus wherever they are. It is your role as a citizen of the kingdom of God to expand the kingdom through the Gospel of Jesus. It is your role as a citizen to demonstrate the love of God around you till the kingdom of this world becomes the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Remember, the territories that Jesus want to take is first the heart of men (Luke 17:21). This goal can be achieved as we take an intercessory project for the soul of people around us. We are to break down the throne of the devil in the heart of people. We are to enthrone Jesus in their heart through the gospel of Jesus (Jeremiah 1:10). Through the preaching of the gospel, we are able to bring people to the kingdom of God (Rom 1:16). Our role is to serve God and to see God’s kingdom extended to all men. Then the blessings of the kingdom shall be ours and our peace and prosperity shall be guaranteed. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, enlist me in your kingdom army.
“A MAN IS EITHER SERVING IN GOD’S KINGDOM OR OTHER KINGDOM”
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.
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.
