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.

KNOWLEDGE BASED
Read: Daniel 11:29-39 Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits. (Vs. 32).
The kingdom of God is not for people who hate knowledge (Hosea 4:6). Anyone who feels that knowledge is a burden will be easily deceived by the devil. He will not be able to achieve much in God. Many have not laid hands on the constitution of their countries, not to talk of knowing what is there. You cannot do that with the kingdom of God. It is too delicate and dangerous.
The word of God says that those who disobey the covenant shall be corrupted with flattery. You know what happens when a computer system is corrupt. It will be malfunctioning. The same applies to people whose lives are without the knowledge of their God.
A major way through which God can make Himself known to man is by His word. All we need to know about God is written in His word. It is therefore our responsibility to find it out (Proverbs 25:2). You need to know what the will of God for your life is. You must find out what He wants and what He does not want. You also need to know your right in God. You need to know what to do to overcome and succeed in this wicked world. While others are running about, you will be doing exploit in God in Jesus name. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, give me a thirsty heart for your word.
“HE THAT DOES NOT KNOW HIS RIGHT WILL SURRENDER IN EVERY BATTLE”
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.
