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).

Psalms 37: 1-11 Devotional Verse:- “But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace” (Vs. 11)
God’s ways are not the same as man’s ways (Isa. 55:8-9). When you understand the value of the blessings of the Lord, you will want to have them at all cost. God’s blessings are without sorrow and that is why the lifestyle of the kingdom is for the people who are meek (Proverbs 10:22). Meekness is an act of being modest, humble and submissive. It is about one been contempt about his situation in life and still been grateful to God. He stays focused in his current level, and still aspires for more of God without seeing God as bad but good. These are people who are willing to learn to grow and not blaming people for their errors. This is a great virtue which God appreciates in His children (1 Pet. 3:4). It was found in Moses whom the Bible described as a man of meekness (Numbers 12:2). You and I need to cultivate the lifestyle of meekness. In today’s Scripture, we learn that, instead of fretting because of evil doers who are prospering, we should be grateful at our levels and trust God to bless us. The meek will not only last in health, but they will buy the property of the anxious, cheaply. Prayer: Lord, help me to be patient with you in life.
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.
