MEDITATION Psalm 1:1-6 Devotional:- “But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night..” (v.2) NKJV God’s word describes someone blessed because he/she meditates on the word of God, day and night. How can this be? The word of God is the source of inspiration that strengthens us to perform (John 1:1-3). The Bible told us that God is a spirit; therefore, meditating on the word of God is drawing on the strength of the spirit (John 6:63).

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.
YOU HAVE TO FIGHT Deuteronomy 20:1-4 Devotional:- “When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God is with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt” (V. 4) NKJV God’s children must come to realize that our victory has been purchased by by the blood of Jesus, but we have to fight to establish it in our lives. If you have to face the devil, it will be impossible to defeat him. he was in a greater glory before than you are now. He has been in a battle game before the creation of man (Revelation 12:7-8). He knows far more than we do.
