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 CONSECRATED HEART
PROVERBS 23:22-26
DEVOTIONAL: “My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways” (Vs.26)
The state of our hearts is very important whenever we want to ask for anything in prayers and receive from God. The state of people’s heart is the reason they cannot receive from God. Our heart determines our motives and intentions. There is always an intention for asking in prayers. When our intention is wrong, then the prayer cannot be answered. This is why we need consecrated hearts.
In today’s Scripture, there is a cry saying,” … give your heart to me”. This is the desire of God to every man. If anyone’s heart is not for God, it will be for the devil. This is the reason people ask amiss (James 4:3). Jesus told the Jews that they were following Him for fish and bread (John 6:26). A consecrated heart is a heart that has been given to Jesus. It is a heart that is devoted and dedicated to Him. Such heart has decided to follow Jesus and stay with Him no matter the circumstances (John 6:68). It is not following Jesus because its prayers were answered yesterday but it is staying with Him permanently because of who He is.
God knows that consecrated hearts will not go anywhere because He is their only hope. They are ever focused when they ask anything in prayer because they know that there is no other way. They wait on God until their answers come (Job 14:14). This is why a consecrated heart always enjoy special treatment from God. Receive the grace!
Prayer: Lord, I dedicate my life to you permanently from today in Jesus’ name.
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.
