WALL OF FIRE Zachariah 2:1-5 “For I,' says the LORD, 'will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst” (V.5) NKJV One of the troubles that brings fear into the hearts of people today is insecurity. Most people in this part of the world always feel insecure. And when you look at the situations and experiences that surround us, they often want to make us feel insecure. This causes many to live their lives in fear in the day and at night.

ACCESSING YOUR PORTION
Read: Luke 18:1-8 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? (Vs.7)
The key to accessing our portion in the kingdom of God is persistence. This is an act of faith which is not willing to turn to another quarter for solution. To persist is to pray without being discouraged until something happens. It is a decision based on the knowledge of the faithfulness of God. No matter how tough your situation may be, when you persist in prayers for your right in God, He will have no option but to give you access.
This kingdom principle is explained in the parable of Jesus. It emphasizes on a woman who persisted in asking for her portion from the judge. She got what she is looking for and went away justified. The same thing applies to children of God who persist with God. Jesus says, God will answer us speedily.
The attitude of persistence is for the determined as well as the matured. God sees persistent people as people that are qualified for their portion. Hannah persisted and sought her portion in prayers. Esther persisted and said, ‘If I die, I die’ (Esther 4:16). Daniel also persisted. All these people were given access to their portions and God answered their prayers. If you will not give up, your enemy will, and you will laugh last. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, strengthen me not to give up.
“PERSISTENCE GROWS YOU STRONGER UNTIL YOU BREAKTHROUGH”
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.
