DISTANCING FROM THE SCRIPTURES Deuteronomy 8:1-11 Devotional:- “To teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD” (v.3) NIV The word of God is the bank of our strength in God. The word of God is the strength of God (John 1:1-3; Hebrews 4:12). Through the word, God had done all He had done. God’s word says, without Him, nothing else was created (John 1:3). When a man, therefore, distances himself from the Word of God, such is distancing himself from his source, He will lack the strength of God.

THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT
Read: Proverbs 4:13-20. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more unto the perfect day. (Vs.18)
There are only two kingdoms in the spirit realm. They are; the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the devil. They represent the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness. These two kingdoms always contend for the souls of men.
The Scripture says, the path of the just is like a shining light which shines brighter and brighter. By this, the Bible means a progressive revelation and a progressive life of glory. The breath of God gives us understanding and makes us intelligent (Job 32:8). The more your understanding is open, the more your life keeps getting better. The word of God opens us to a greater understanding which keeps us stronger and better so that we do not stumble but overcome continually (Ps. 119:97-100, Prov. 3:23, 1 John 5:4).
For your life to experience the light of understanding, you must give yourself to studying and meditating on the word of God. You must keep to your fellowship with the Holy Spirit who is the revealer of the truth. Also, you must keep obeying God so as to enjoy the blessings of His light (Isaiah 58:8, James 1:17). Then the glory of God shall be visible all around your life and wherever you are, you will be a shining example. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, help me to keep walking in Your light.
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.
