ENVY NO ONE

  ENVY NO ONE Genesis 37:1-11  Devotional:- “And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.” (V.11) NKJV For a man to enjoy God’s love being wonderfully demonstrated to him, he must constitute a habit of not envying anyone. This is the reason why many cannot demonstrate genuine love to others. It is time you begin to understand that your value is not comparable. Envy is an emotional act people put on when they feel someone is better than them. Envy is always the mother of negative jealousy. It breeds bitterness and pushes people to commit all kinds of crimes. Some people’s reason for being armed robbers is that since they could not make it legitimately, they must go and get it by force from the hands of those who have made it. The truth is that there is no one who cannot make it. The problem with Joseph’s brother was that they did not know the truth of the word of God. As children of Abraham, all of them are already pronounced as successful in life. Josep...

AUTHORITY IN THE KINGDOM

AUTHORITY IN THE KINGDOM              

Matthew 8:5-13
Devotional Verse:- “For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." (Vs. 9)

    As a citizen of the kingdom of God, you must get used to the use of authority. Jesus did not teach us to fight physically but He gave us the authority to fight with. This is because we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers (Eph. 6:10-12). This means that we are not just facing physical human beings alone but people moved by evil spirits. This is the reason we must be equipped with the authority of the kingdom of God. So, understand the way of the Spirit.
 
    Authority is always delegated from a person of a higher power to another person to command and enforce the subject or the opponent to obey. It is the power or might which gives orders, issues instructions and enforces obedience.
 
    Please, understand that your ability to control or dominate the enemy is through the power of God that is delegated to you (Luke10:19). That is why you must take this seriously because it is your only strength for victory in Christ (1 John 5:4). Therefore, just like the man in our Scripture for today, get used to the authority of the word of God given to you. Locate the Scripture of your authority over any situation and meditate on it to receive faith (1 John5:4). The word of god is the constitution that gives you a constitutional right. Always take your authority from the word of God (Ephesians 6:17). Use it in every situation, and the forces of God will always be at work in your life. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, reveal my authority to me in your word
 
“ONLY AUTHORITY CAN RULE IN THE UNSEEN WORLD”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
