SPIRIT OF WISDOM I Corinthians 2:6-10 Devotional:- “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory” (V.7) NKJV The mind of every man is created to operate wisdom even at the level of common sense. This is one of the reasons why many are poor. The reason why this is so is that most human beings do not know how to empower their mind for wisdom with the right and quality information. They rather believe that life is all about making do with everything that comes their way. Wrong information and association have made many minds dull (Proverbs 13:20).

RIGHT COMPANY
Act 4:23-31
Devotional verse: “And being let go, they went to their own companions, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them” (v. 23).
All of us need right people around us. Someone said, count seven closest people to you, and then check their lives; you are looking at your future. The effect of right company around us is that, they influence us to do right thing and they join us to war against wrong things that are confronting us.
In our scriptures for today, the disciples were faced with persecution, they were even flogged and threatened not to preach in the name of Jesus any more. After letting them go, the bible says, they returned to their company. The company joined faith with them as they prayed. There they received new strength to continue in the work God has given to them.
The right company are people of the same faith with you, and you can always find encouragement among them. This is among the people you always spend time to pray together and strengthens each other in faith. That way it will be difficult for the enemy to break you down. And you will keep winning. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, surround me with right people in life.
“YOU CANNOT BE MUCH BETTER THAN THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU”
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.
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.
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.
