ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE Mark 9:14-27 Devotional:- “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes” (V.23) We need to come to the awareness of the potency of the God we serve. He can do all things. He created the heavens and the earth. He created the mountains and the sea; He parted the Red Sea; He brought water from the rock and what else can He not do? If you see any great and good thing happening in the life of anyone today, it is through Him and there is nothing He cannot do (Luke 1:37, John 3:27).

BEARING FRUITS
Read: John 15:1-8 I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. (Vs.5)
There are many parables through which Jesus illustrates what the kingdom of God is. These parables have to do with sowing of seeds (Mark 4:27, Luke 8:5). From these, we are already informed that there would be fruits. Jesus says “I have sent you to bear fruits” (John 15:16). He said that anyone who does not bear fruits shall be cut away (John 15:2). Whoever does not bear fruits shall lose the kingdom of God (Mark 21:43). That is why you and I must be fruit-bearing Christians.
The fruits of this kingdom are fruits of repentance unto God (Matthew 3:8). They are fruits of righteousness (Matthew 7:20). The fruits are fruits of the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5: 22-23) which are all fruits of godliness and wisdom of God. They also involve fruits of restful service in the house of God and fruits of soul winning (Matthew 24:45-46).
To bear these fruits, we must abide in Christ by always being conscious of His presence with us and doing His will (John 15:5). We will be able to bear fruits by acknowledging Him for divine direction and obedience (Prov. 3:5-6). We will be able to bear these fruits when we always deny ourselves to minister the gospel to others and bring them to Christ. A fruit-bearing Christian will always bring glory to God. He will always enjoy grace for more in his lifetime. Also, he will have his prayers answered. Receive grace to bear fruits in Jesus’ name.
YOUR CLAIM Scripture Reading: Isaiah 1:16-20 Devotional:- "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the Lord, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool” (V. 18) NKJV All God’s children have the right to the covenant provision of God (Galatians 3:13-14). The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ has purchased for us a right in God. God’s covenant is therefore for our claim as the prodigal son demanded for his portion.
NOTHING IS FREE Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 28:1-14 Devotional:- "Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth” (V. 1) You need to know that all the blessings of the word of God are all yours by the blood of the Covenant (Zechariah 9:11). As much as all God’s promises are available to all children of God, please know that they are all attached with condition which is the nature of covenant.
THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.
