A CHOSEN PEOPLE Deuteronomy 7:4-11 Devotional:- “…the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth…” (V.6) The basic challenge we are facing that does not make us understand our new position in Christ is that of misunderstanding how we become a child of God. Because we do not understand what it takes, many don’t even value it. So they easily throw it off their mind. Many today are not holding on to their faith and are easily discouraged simply because they lack understanding of the richness of their choice. Some also put up some pride and some show up because they think they were qualified.

LIVING ABOVE CONFUSION
James 3:13-18 Devotional Verse:-“For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there” (Vs.16)
The kingdom of God is not a kingdom of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). One of the greatest troubles in the life of people today is confusion. The goal of confusion is to cripple the mind of a man, prevent him from achieving the will of God for his life and establish hypertension in him.
Confusion is a product of conflicting information accessing the minds of men. Such information usually makes us uncertain about the possibility of our desires. In confusion, one is left with the fear of failure. One is left with the inability to place priority and make decisions. The original source of confusion is the devil. The word of God says, where there is envy and self seeking, there will be confusion. This happens when a someone is no longer patient to observe the divine order or not patience to allow the will of God to be done.
To live above confusion, we must always be focused on the covenant promises of God. We must always be willing to let the will of God be done and not our selfish ambitions. Jesus was almost confused until He said: "Your will be done" (Luke 22:42, Hebrews 12:2). Always acknowledge God to know His will (Proverbs 3:5-6). Pray for His will to be done in your life always. Pray always in the Spirit to receive His direction for your life and you will live above confusion. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, I decree my victory over the spirit of confusion in Jesus' name
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.
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.
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.
