SPIRIT OF WISDOM I Corinthians 2:6-10 Devotional:- “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory” (V.7) NKJV The mind of every man is created to operate wisdom even at the level of common sense. This is one of the reasons why many are poor. The reason why this is so is that most human beings do not know how to empower their mind for wisdom with the right and quality information. They rather believe that life is all about making do with everything that comes their way. Wrong information and association have made many minds dull (Proverbs 13:20).

THE FATHER
Luke 11:1-8 Read:- “So He said to them, "When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven” (V. 2)
One of the reasons most people don’t understand the kingdom of God is because they do not see God as a father. Jesus came to connect us to God as our father. The reason for this is because they consider God to their earthly father who does not mostly operate by fatherly principles. The reason some can’t take God as a father indeed is because they feel He does not care for them (1 Peter 5:7). They feel, they pray and He does not answer. That is why so many people silently feel disappointed in God (Luke 11:5-8).
The truth is that, there is no father like God. But we should know that His ways are different from our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). When we think He does not answer us, He has given us the best for that season (Luke 11:11-13). He can see beyond what we can see. He knows far more than we know (Romans 11:33). Often time, when we think He is doing badly, He is actually doing well, but because we can’t see much, we blame Him. We are often limited by this physical body to see many things.
Friend, take God as a true father from now because there is no one who can father like Him. When you start to figure Him as your father indeed, then you start to enjoy His fatherly care. (1 Peter 5:7). Peace!
Prayer: Lord, make me a testimony of your fatherly care.
“ACCEPTING GOD AS A FATHER MAKES YOU RELAX IN HIS HAND”
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.
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.
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.
