  WISDOM Luke 21:7-19  Devotional:- “for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.” (V.15) NKJV It is impossible for a man to succeed in this world without wisdom. This is because we are living in a world that is so terrible and perverse. The spirit of the enemy has so much advanced in the children of the world, and we will need a super wisdom to overcome them. But thanks be to God. Wisdom is one of the gifts of love we have from God in the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). The wisdom we have in God is not the earthly wisdom but divine and heavenly. This makes it possible for us to rule on the earth with heavenly wisdom. But you and I must know how to employ this wisdom. This is by asking and giving room for the operation of the Holy Spirit upon our mind. This we can do by acknowledging the Holy Spirit around us and asking Him to guide us to understanding and truth in every situation (John 14:26). Get to know tha...

DOING HIS WILL

DOING HIS WILL   

Matthew 7: 24-29
Devotional:-“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:” (v. 24)


    The heart of man always wants to fathom his own way. That is why we need to mind the spirit that our heart submits to (Romans 6:16). A carnal mind does not think of submitting to God, the Bible says he cannot (Romans 8:5-7). As a child of God, when we live in the way of the word of God, we are walking in the wisdom of God and not of men.

 The scripture we read today says when we hear and obey the word of God, we are wise. We are wise because we will be building a life that cannot be destroyed by the mind and the storm of life. This is building on the wisdom of the ages that has pass through the test of time and keeps winning. That is why you must count the instructions of the word of God to be your wisdom (Deuteronomy 4:6). 

The word of God is our wisdom because God is wiser than us (Isaiah 55: 8-11). For example, it could look foolish to give a tenth of your income in church, but it is the wisdom of God because the word of God commanded it (Malachi 3:10-12). Those who obey the word of God knows what they gain from it. That makes some to even give 30% or more as tithe. So also is every instructions of the word of God (Prov 3: 5-6). Be wise to obey the Lord. The word is the law of the spirit and cannot be calculated by human mind. The devil or the flesh or worldly friends will never encourage you to do the will of God because they are not of God. God is superior to all and His word is superior. There are so many things we can't see or know. Be wise to always obey the Lord. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to always submit to your word.

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.

COURAGE

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.
