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).

RELATIONSHIP MATURITY
1 PETER 3:7-12
DEVOTIONAL:-“Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered”. (Vs. 7)
One other factor that we have to be careful about is our relationships. Our relationships are meant to make our lives better (Eccl. 4:9-12). Our relationships are expected to help our lives because they are suppose to give us good companionship that will take us out of loneliness.
We need to be careful about our relationships so that the devil doesn’t make it a companionship of bitterness, anger, strife and malice. Sometimes, some people are so wounded by their spouses that they find it very difficult to forgive them. This can cause hindrances to prayers if not properly managed.
In our scripture for today, we are instructed to live in understanding with our families. This means that we need to know one another's weaknesses and strength. We need to understand the diversity in one another's view of life. It is on this ground that tolerance and endurance will make us stay together. We will also patiently grow in love and harmony. You must build a good relationship so that you do not carelessly allow your relationship to hinder your prayers. Always live with your spouse or with people in understanding. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, help me to be mature to enjoy my relationships.
“RELATIONSHIP CAN MAKE OR MAR, DEPENDING ON YOUR ATTITUDE”
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.
