  DELIVERANCE Psalms 91:9-16 Devotional:- “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him” (V. 15) NKJV There are too many people today who have been caught in the web of darkness and do not know how to get out. Many get embarrassed when they discover in a public place that they carry demonic influences and needed to be delivered. Some do not even know how they find themselves in it, neither do they know how to get out. Some have repeatedly attended deliverance ministrations but they know in themselves that they are not yet delivered. They’ve been to everywhere done several things and the same experience still persists.  Part of the redemption package of love that Jesus have for us is deliverance (John 8:32, 36, 1 John 3:8). The first thing needed to set you free is your willingness to be free. Until you chose to be free no one can force freedom on you permanently. Then be determined in your heart to be free. Decla...

PRAYER AND FASTING

PRAYER AND FASTING

Matthew 6:16-18
Devotional Verse:- "Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward” (Vs. 16)

 


    Fasting is an act of depriving the flesh of the pleasure of foods and other activities for the purpose of seeking God. Fasting helps us to concentrate, be spiritually alert, sensitive and gives quality attention on God in times of prayers. It also gives us access to deep revelations of God. 
 
    As good as fasting is, it should not be turned into a religious ritual as some people make it. Fasting should not be a means of bribing God after we have sinned because no one can bribe God. It should also not to be taken as the giver of God’s power. In fasting, God needs our total submission to His will and wisdom (Isa. 58:6-8). While fasting, it is unnecessary to disfigure yourself by leaving your hair uncombed or going about frown your face. If you have the privilege of fasting, it is important that you separate yourself in a quiet place to pray instead of going about and making people greet you by asking, “Hope all is well” or “How is the fast?” 
 
    If you allow all these, then it means you have missed the essence of the fasting. Fasting without praying is hunger strike. You need the grace to fast for a deep and rewarding fellowship with God, so that your story will change for good. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, strengthen me for a deep fellowship with you regularly.

“FASTING SHOULD SPEED UP OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD”.

MASTER’S MINAS

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
