UNMOVED FAITH Matthew 15:21-28 Devotional:- “And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table" (V.27) NKJV Sometimes, by the principle of our response to life or obedience to God, we might not have been qualified for some things. But faith can qualify us. That is why Jesus said He has not come for the rich but that the poor may be rich. He has come to remove the barriers in the lives of people and to release them to their destiny.

A CLEAN HEART
PSALMS 24:1-6
DEVOTIONAL VERSE: “He who has clean hands and a pure heart,Who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false” (Vs. 4)
God who is the King of this kingdom has covenanted in His word to always answer the prayers of the citizens (Matt. 7:7) Prayer is basically the only way for man to commune with God and receive from Him (Jeremiah 33:3). It could be quite frustrating when we pray and do not receive any answer. One of the factors responsible for unanswered prayers is the state of our hearts.
Our heart is the link between our spirit and our body. As God loves to take over our hearts, the devil also want to do the same. When the heart is given to pleasure and worldliness, it will surely be taken over by the devil (James 4:4). The word of God says, for anyone to access God and receive answers to his/her prayers, such will need to have a clean heart.
A clean heart is a heart that is given to the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 3:16). It is a heart that meditates regularly on the word of God and not on the words of the world (Psalms 119:9). A clean heart obeys the instructions of God always (John 14:15). It is a heart that loves the Lord. This is why you need to purge your heart regularly from the uncleanliness of sin and ungodliness (James 4:8). That way, your prayers will not be hindered. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, help me to always clean up my heart before you
“GOD CAN ONLY ANSWER YOU ACCORDING TO THE STATE OF YOUR HEART”
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.
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.
