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.

THE UNJUST STEWARD
Luke 16:1-9 Devotional Verse:- “And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home.” (Vs. 9)
The parable in our Scripture for today teaches us so many lessons. It teaches us that we are stewards. A steward is a manager in charge of a business or an assignment. This teaches us that whatever we have comes from the Lord (Psalm 24:1, John 3:27). For this reason, we must use them consciously in the service of the master.
We also learn that we have to render our services to the Lord with the wisdom of God. In other words, we must be strategic, innovative and dynamic. The Holy Spirit is in us to help us. The servant in this parable of Jesus was wise in unfaithfulness towards his master, but we are called to be faithful (1 Corinthians 4:2).
Jesus taught us to treat people well when it is well with us. This is because it is what we sow, that we will reap. When you have the privilege, use it to help as many people as you can especially in the family of God; the Church. The people you help today will be the ones to help you tomorrow. There is no man that cannot be in need at any time. But God will remember our seeds and help us. You have a secured future in Christ. Peace!
PRAYER: Lord, give me the heart to be a blessing
“IN MOST CASES, IT IS THE PEOPLE YOU”VE TOUCHED THAT GOD WILL USE TO TOUCH YOU”
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.
