SPIRIT OF WISDOM

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).

A RELIGIOUS MIND

A RELIGIOUS MIND

John 8: 31-47
Devotional:-“They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, 'You will be made free'?" (v.33)


    Another type of mind people operates in especially in the church, is the religious mind. This is a mind programmed to hold on to the old truth and are not opened to the dynamic revelation of the word of God. Such mind is ready to fight in readiness to defend their old beliefs, that their fathers have handed over to them and they are not ready to receive a new revelation. Very good in quoting what God said, but not in what God is saying. 

The leaders of Israel at the time of Jesus were in this narrow minded situation. They held on so tightly to what Moses told them and they refused to accept and believe the gospel of Jesus. They saw all that Jesus was saying as blasphemy. As far as they are concerned God cannot send anyone apart from Moses. That way, they kill most of the prophet sent to them by God mercilessly just to defend their faith and thinking they were defending God.

Friend, if anyone around you have this mindset, you need to help them in prayer. They can't enjoy the help of the Holy Spirit and can't be used by God. They can pretend to be religious, but deny the power of the gospel (Col 2:20-23). Be careful of people like this, they can kill for God but can't allow God in their thinking. Such can only listen to the truth of the word of God during a trouble in life. As we pray for the salvation of the soul of such people, God can arrest them and save them. Peace 

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to refuse your light in my heart 

"A RELIGIOUS MIND DOES NOT ACCEPT THE TRUTH BUT HUMAN DOCTRINE"

FRUITFULNESS

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

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

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.
