HE GIVES STRENGTH Isaiah 40:21-31 Devotional:- “He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength” (v.29) NKJV It often looks intimidating to suddenly discover that you are not as strong as you used to be. This is a state in which you can’t just locate your strength. One thing or the other has sapped them. Such cases might make some people afraid; those things of which they have boasted seem not to be there again. Others may think that at this time, the enemy might come to take advantage of them.

HEART TO HEART
1 SAMUEL 1:12-18
DEVOTIONAL:- “But Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD” (Vs. 15)
It is important for us to understand that God hears the voice of our hearts more than the voice of our mouths. When some people pray, they just make noise. God told Samuel that He looked at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). So, as we pray, we must let our prayers come from our hearts and not just from our lips (Matt. 15:8). This is because God listens to our hearts.
To pray from the heart is to be sincere and truthful in our prayers. It is to pray with focus and determination as we seek the Lord (Jeremiah 29:13). God want us to seek Him with our hearts (Jeremiah 29:11).
When you pray, please always pray from the heart. This will ensure that your heart is sincerely communicating with God. This makes your prayers to be full of power before God (James 5:16 Ampl). Hannah did this and God heard her prayers. You are next in line to receive an answer from God. Arise, pour out your heart to the Lord and your prayers will receive attention from heaven. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, help me to always pray from the heart.
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.
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.
