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.

LOVING AND GIVING
John 3:13-21 Devotional Verse:- “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (Vs.16)
Every child of God is saved from the Kingdom of the devil to the Kingdom of God (Col. 1:13). Understanding this puts you at an advantage over the devices of the devil. Very many people in church today are not aware of this truth. This is the truth that sets you free (John 8:32). This is also the reason you need to give yourself to studying the word of God so as to understand the nature of the kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God is a kingdom characterized by loving and giving. God Himself is love personified (1 John 4:7-8). That is why everyone who is born of Him lives in the nature of love (1 Cor. 13:1-13). God’s evidence of love is giving. That is why our true love is demonstrated in giving. God’s kingdom is a kingdom of giving and receiving. Sowing and reaping.
For you to enjoy the blessing of God, you must commit yourself to giving in obedience to God’s word. Paying your tithes (10% of all your income) and offerings, taking care of your parents and family, men of God, the poor, giving towards the kingdom project, etc. enlist you among the blessed of the Lord. These are what qualifies you for your harvest. Peace!
PRAYER: Lord, give me the heart of a giver
“YOU CAN GIVE WITHOUT LOVING BUT YOU CANNOT LOVE WITHOUT GIVING”
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.
