BE STRONG Ephesians 6:10-18 Devotional:- “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the Power of His might.” (v.10) NKJV When you see a man with a strong body behaving like a chicken, something is really wrong. We all know that it is humiliating to hear that a seven-year-old girl defeats a man of thirty years in battle. This should be a function of ignorance, i.e., not knowing how to deal with such an embarrassing situation.

ABOVE DARKNESS
Read: Matthew 12:22-30But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. (Vs.28)
The kingdom of God is a kingdom of light. Light is above darkness any day and at any given point in time. The two cannot co-exist. One will have to bow for the other. The moment light comes, darkness disappears (John 1:5). This is why the kingdom of God is more superior to the kingdom of the devil.
Many people have not known much about the kingdom of light. They only have so much information about the kingdom of darkness. This has made many in this part of the world to think that the devil is more powerful or more capable than God. So, when someone is doing any spectacular thing, he is believed to be doing it by the power of darkness.
God made the devil (Isaiah 14:12-15). He (the devil) was chased out of heaven because he rebelled against God and lost his power ever since (Rev. 12:7-12). Jesus defeated and disarmed him (Colossians 2:15). Today, all power belongs to Jesus (Matthew 28:18). You can cast out the devil in the name of Jesus by faith and he will run for his life. Don’t ever be intimidated by his gimmicks. Resist him and he will flee from your life and family in Jesus name (1 Peter 5:8-9). Peace!
Prayer: I receive freedom from all intimidation of the devil from now in Jesus name.
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.
