STRENGTH IN GOD 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 Devotional:- “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” (V4) NKJV Many Christians today have so much confusion about their strength in God. It has made the church think that a few limited people can demonstrate the strength of God. So, multitudes are weak in strength. Though they come to church, yet in times of challenges, you see them rushing to another Christian whom they know to be stronger in God. Neglecting the fact that a New Testament believer is a potential priest and king for Christ (Revelation 5:10; Mark 16:17).

THE UNSEEN FORCES
Read: Mark 4:26-29 And should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how (Vs. 27)
The spiritual force that carries out assignments are invisible to the natural eyes. There are so many things going on around the world which the physical eyes cannot see. They are invisible, more powerful and eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18). The word of God says, Jesus gave a parable of the kingdom of God as the operation of invisible forces. A man planted a seed and went to sleep. When he rose up, he saw what amazed him. The seed had turned into a full grown plant and was ready for harvest.
This illustrates how we engage the invisible by faith. When you cast out devils in the name of Jesus, it looks as though nothing has happened. But the invisible forces assume their duties to carry out your instruction. When you sow in obedience to God, to man it would seem like nothing has happened because he has no understanding of it. But the invisible forces take it up to ensure that your harvest comes.
That is why you need to believe God even if you can’t see Him (Hebrews 11:1-3). The realm of the spirit can only be exploited by faith (Romans 1:17, Hebrews 11:6). All you need to do is to believe the word of God. Learn to see things with your spiritual eyes the way the word of God says them. And your world will be turned around for greatness (Jeremiah 1:11-12).
Prayer: Lord, send forth Your angel to be in my favour today.
“WE ARE IN THE VISIBLE REALM BUT GOD OPERATES IN THE INVISIBLE”
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.
