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).

FAITH
Act 3:11-21
Devotional verse: “And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know: Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all” (V. 16).
A man of faith operates in the power of God. Faith is the act of stepping out to confront your situation according to the revelation of the word of God. Faith is not just an assertion of your acceptance of the word, it is far more than that. Without faith it will be impossible for anyone to resist the devil (1 Peter 5:9).
In the scripture we read today, Peter said, faith in the name of Jesus has healed the lame man (Act 3:16). Faith becomes active in a man when the spirit of the word of God has come into him. (John 10:34-35). The Spirit of the word of God makes of a quick understanding (Isaiah 11:3). It makes you convinced beyond reasonable doubt that you have the right to resist the devil. (James 5:15).
If a man will therefore enjoy divine healing, he/she must seek to receive faith from the word of God. This happens as we study and meditate in the word of God (Romans 10:17). This is when the devil will be two small to wait for you. Then you know that your hand carries the life and the blood of Jesus and whoever you lay it on shall be healed (Mark 16:17-18). Arise and be healed in Jesus name.
Prayer: Lord, release the spirit of faith into me for my healing.
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.
