  FAITH I Samuel 1:7-20 Devotional:- “And she said, "Let your maidservant find favor in your sight." So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad” (v.18) NKJV For any believer to triumph in this world, the major strength needed is faith (1 John 5:4). When faith is at work, all power must submit their strength. Faith is the strength that can draw on the power of God (Matthew 9:20-22). It demoralises the power of the enemy. It is the mystery behind great success and achievement on earth. An exploit in any field is going to be impossible without faith. Sometimes one gets embarrassed by how some people cannot exercise faith. Even when a minister had just finished praying for them, they were still full of doubt and weeping. This is the reason why many remain in their sorrow. The woman we read about today was also a woman of sorrow for many years. The man of God spoke the word of God to her; she believed and was no longer sad, and her miracle baby was given to ...

FEAR

Matthew 8:23-27
Devotional:- "But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm". (V. 26)

    One of the tricks of the devil uses on man is the trick to make them afraid. There are so many things Christians do not know, so the devil plays on our ignorance. He knows that the moment he can he can get us afraid, he can always overcome. Fear is the fore runner of the devil. Fear permits him to operate in the lives of men. It is the faith in God to work in our lives and fear moves the devil to work against. You need to stop being afraid, it is the greatest enemy of your faith.

Anytime lions want to eat, he roars. This creates fear in other animals. This will now make them produce hormones in them. By this he will sense to know the direction at which he should turn for meat. God’s word says the devil roars like a lion seeking for whom to devour. If you will stop being afraid of him, you stop secreting the hormone that attract the activities of the devil.

The only place the devil is afraid to enter is a place of faith and boldness. Do you notice that when you refuse to get scared by the barking of a dog, it stops chasing you?

God has not created you for fear. Please, realise that you are the highest creature of God. All other creatures are to be afraid of you (Genesis 9:2). Friend, fear will not save nor deliver you but add to your problem. Why don’t you learn to hang your faith on God and refuse fear? Then your life will begin to experience great peace and joy.

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me from the inside to overcome fear.

“If you can’t stop the fear, you can’t stop the devil”

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.

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.
