ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE Mark 9:14-27 Devotional:- “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes” (V.23) We need to come to the awareness of the potency of the God we serve. He can do all things. He created the heavens and the earth. He created the mountains and the sea; He parted the Red Sea; He brought water from the rock and what else can He not do? If you see any great and good thing happening in the life of anyone today, it is through Him and there is nothing He cannot do (Luke 1:37, John 3:27).

RELIGIOUS PRIDE
Luke 18:9-14 Devotional Verse:- “I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." (Vs. 14)
In the kingdom of God, there is no room for pride (James 4:6). This is because there is nothing we have that is not given to us by the Lord (John 3:27). Everything in God comes to us by grace (Ephesians 2:8). Pride is not an attitude of any mature believer. The Bible says that God resists the proud and gives more grace to the humble (James 4:6). Which means proud people will disconnect themselves from God.
The Scripture tells us about the parable of two men who went to pray in the temple. The first man was proud of his religious titles and qualifications. He was proud of his righteousness before God. The second man was humble to confess his weaknesses and limitations. Jesus said that the second man who was humble, was justified by the Lord.
Friend, be careful about going before God with your qualifications or your work for His kingdom. This may hinder your prayers. The blessings of this kingdom is reserved for the humble (Matthew 5:3-5). Promotion only comes to people in this kingdom when they are humble (Luke 14:11). Don't join people who are going down. There is nothing in this world that qualifies anyone to be proud (1 Peter 5:6). Humble yourself and you will soon be at the top. Peace!
PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from the spirit of pride
“FROM THE DAY YOU START TO HUMBLE YOURSELF, GRACE FOR GROWTH WILL START TO FLOW IN YOU”
YOUR CLAIM Scripture Reading: Isaiah 1:16-20 Devotional:- "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the Lord, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool” (V. 18) NKJV All God’s children have the right to the covenant provision of God (Galatians 3:13-14). The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ has purchased for us a right in God. God’s covenant is therefore for our claim as the prodigal son demanded for his portion.
NOTHING IS FREE Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 28:1-14 Devotional:- "Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth” (V. 1) You need to know that all the blessings of the word of God are all yours by the blood of the Covenant (Zechariah 9:11). As much as all God’s promises are available to all children of God, please know that they are all attached with condition which is the nature of covenant.
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.
