STRENGTH IN GOD 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 Devotional:- “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” (V4) NKJV Many Christians today have so much confusion about their strength in God. It has made the church think that a few limited people can demonstrate the strength of God. So, multitudes are weak in strength. Though they come to church, yet in times of challenges, you see them rushing to another Christian whom they know to be stronger in God. Neglecting the fact that a New Testament believer is a potential priest and king for Christ (Revelation 5:10; Mark 16:17).

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.
MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.
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.
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.
