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.

WICKED STEWARDS
Luke 20:9-19 Devotional Verse:-“He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to others." And when they heard it they said, "Certainly not!” (Vs.16)
The greatest evil anyone can do to him/herself is to reject the gospel of Jesus. There will be no hope in eternity for anyone who rejects so great a salvation that Jesus came to sacrifice His life for (Hebrews 2:3).
Today, a great number of people see the gospel as deception. So, they presume that people preaching the gospel are people without wisdom. Some of them even plan and kill people doing 'morning cry' (early morning evangelism). This is because they look at them as people without common sense. These are all devices of the devil against the gospel.
Friend, the nature of the kingdom of the devil is to deceive the children of this world and turn them against the gospel of Jesus who came to save them (2 Corinthians 4:4) . All that you have is given to you by the Lord. You are merely a steward assigned to take care of things until the owner comes. Don’t mislead your children by living in an ungodly way. You are simply a manager for God (1 Corinthians 4:2). Show your family an example of godliness. Don’t sleep at home or travel on Sunday mornings while worship services go on in the church. Doing so, make people raise a family for the kingdom of the devil. When the owner (Jesus your master) comes, what will be your report? Refuse to be a worker of iniquity and you will not regret your eternity. Peace!
PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to be a faithful steward.
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.
