  CREATED TO RULE Genesis 1:26-31 Devotional:- “God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”” (V. 28) NIV The major purpose of creating man was to rule over the earth. This is because the purpose of a product is in the assignment given to it to carry out. The reason why God wanted us to rule the earth was to make us represent Him here, to disallow the enemy from ruling the earth. So our rulership was a delegation. It is very clear in the scripture, God’s manual of man, that we are created to rule. That is, to take over, take control and have dominion over the earth. A producer is only successful when the product serves the purpose of production. When authority is delegated to a man, it often comes with a measure of power and liberty to operate it. This entails that man should not be hindered by anything to achieve ...

Judges 6:11-16  
So he said to Him, “O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.” (V. 15).

    In the course of we growing up in life, we grow in the midst of some situation that had sharpen our mind and belief system. Some of such mentality cannot produce a victorious life. We sometimes take them to be sincere humility, thinking we are helpless about them. It makes us think some people are more lucky than we are. That makes you look down on yourself.

Gideon said to the angel, I come from the weakest tribe in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house. He often thinks like this and have self-defeat in his heart (Proverbs 23:7). There is no way anyone can win with self defeat mentality.  You can’t be thinking defeated and win you can't be thinking as a slave and rule, you can't be thinking poor and be rich. Build a mind-set of a conqueror, I am a king (Revelation 5:9-10), I am special and peculiar (1 Peter 2:9), I am blessed of God (Ephesians 1:3), I can do all things through Christ (Philippians 4:13), I am born to reign (Revelation 5:9-10). The great God is in me (1 John 5:4).

Friend, God knows what he made you for before giving you that assignment, He knows you are able. Jeremiah also said, I am a youth but God stop him from thinking like that, Moses also almost lost his destiny but God stop him of that.

Friend, you are capable of winning, just deal with all of these. You are only delayed for your appointed time to come and it has come. Don’t think defeated. Always agree with God in your thinking and you will always win. 

Prayer: Lord, give me the strength to win in my thought patterns 

“IF YOU CAN’T WIN IN YOUR HEART YOU CAN’T WIN IN LIFE”

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.

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.
