  OVERFLOWING PROSPERITY Zechariah 1:13-21 Devotional:- “Again proclaim, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "My cities shall again spread out through prosperity; The LORD will again comfort Zion, And will again choose Jerusalem'"” (V.17) NKJV At the end of the year, God intends to prosper and supply you with great and pleasant riches (Psalms 65:11). When someone is not prospering in life, everything about him will look odd. When a person is not prosperous, there are so many things responsible. It might be that he is not working in God’s knowledge and understanding; it could also be that he is not working in God’s covenant. This is paying your tithe, offering, blessing the poor, and taking care of your parent, children and men of God. It could also be that he is not faithful to his staff. Such disobedience makes God remove man’s prosperity and set a devourer to his life till he learn his lesson (Joel 2:25, Haggai 1:6-11). But the word of God is powerful, sharper tha...

RESISTING

1 Peter 5:5-11
Dev:- “Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world” (V. 9)


    Every action will always command reaction. That is why a child of God is known by his ability to stand and resist the activities of the devil around his life. That you have a reaction is normal but to submit to reactions is a sign of weaknesses. No one has the right to stop the will of God in your life.

 The scripture we read today says, we must be sober and be vigilant. In other word, we must be humble enough to admit the need for battle in our life and we must learn to live ready. The word of God instructed us to resist the devil steadfastly. Which means don’t take it easy with the devil. We are to resist the devil when we have ungodly or unbiblical information coming to us (Matthew 16:23). This could be either inform of ungodly sensational feelings or confusing information contrary to the word of God (Luke 4:8). 

For us to be able to resist the devil we must do it in the faith we have in the word of God. Resisting the devil involves been vigilance. It involve declaring the word of God (Luke 4:4). Wisdom will rather prevent a problem than curing it. So the moment you sense any activities of the devil, stand against it by the word of God and by the Holy Spirit in you (Isaiah 59:19). Surely you are on the winning side (1 John 5:4). Peace!

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me for victory always

“WHATEVER YOU DON’T RESIST, YOU’VE RECEIVED”

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

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.
