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).

THE BLESSING
Gen 39:1-6 Devotional Verse:- “The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian” (Vs. 2) NKJV
Very many people often think that the blessing of the Lord is all about material things. This is one of the reasons many are not grateful and are not happy in life. Riches are just one of the manifestation of the blessings of the Lord (Prov. 10:22). The blessings of the Lord are the entirety of the goodness of the Lord and this is made manifest by the presence of the Lord with a man. We saw in the scripture that Joseph was prosperous, though he was a slave in the house of his master in the land of Egypt. The Bible says people around Joseph noticed that the Lord was with him. They also observed that this was the secret of his blessing (Genesis 39:3). That is why you as a child of God should know that you are blessed because the God who owns all things is with you (Ephesians 1:3). All you need to do to activate this blessing is to humble yourself, fear the Lord, always ask for His leading in all you do and obey His instructions (Proverbs 3:5-6, Psalm 25:9-14). Always obey the Lord as He instructs you in taking steps of faith in pursuit of your businesses (John 2:5). Be obedience to Him in giving and this will open for you the door of divine ideas (Isaiah 48:17). You will have divine protections on all your businesses and investments (Malachi 3:10-12). Remember, Jesus has taken away curses and poverty from your life and you are operating under the covenant of blessing (Galatians 3:13-14). Always claim your portion in His blessing. This will help you to be a partaker of the fullness of God’s blessings which will ensure your greatness on earth. Peace! Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to build the right attitude for your blessings.
‘’GOD’S TOTAL BLESSINGS ARE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE TOTAL WITH GOD.
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.
