YOUR OPPONENTS

  YOUR OPPONENTS     1 Peter 5:5-11 DEVOTIONAL:- “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” (v. 8). NKJV When a man does not know his opponent, he will be totally ignorant of the way to victory. Most people always make the mistakes taking man as their enemy. As God’s children, we must come to understand that the forces against us are the forces of the devil, though they always use people. God’s word says we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against principalities (they take territorial government), against powers (master spirit), rulers of the darkness of this age and against the spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). These are forces of God that fell with the devil, and their powers were not taken from them (Revelation 12:7-9). You must understand that they are the ones manifesting and manipulating in different ways in human lives (2 Corinthians 2:11). Th...

WORDLY VIEW

Luke 12:13-21
And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” (V. 15)

    The view of the world is to just get the materials. So, very many people who don’t have the inner ability have gone terrible just to get these materials. That is why many parents now buy certificate for their children. People now have to organize robbery. These are because our idea of success is focused only on materials. Friend, materials are only to assist us to succeed, they are not our success. Our success is the ability to succeed which is an internal quality, the composition of our heart, then we shall be successful.

As we live in this world, there are some goals that are important for us to achieve. If we don’t achieve them it will look like a discouragement and frustration. For example a man must of necessity get married and have a good home. A man need to build a place for his family to stay. A man must think of a means of transportation for his family to freely move around. The purpose of all this is to assist us to carry out our assignment on the earth. Jesus said a man have beautiful harvest. Instead of him to give thanks to God and prepare to be a blessing to others around him, he saw himself at the climax of life. This got God angry at him and his soul was demanded that same day. What is now his profit in all he has done? He was called a fool at the end.

Friend, congratulations for all you have been able to achieve. But it is important you know that they are a means to an end and not an end in itself. God made you for a purpose. That purpose is the reason you are on the earth. So, there is a need to define the purpose. Your purpose can be identified only with the one who made you. Take time out to seek His face. Then He will reveal His purpose of your creation to you. You then need to organize to pursue and fulfil your purpose of been on the earth. This is when you are truly walking in the path of success. May God not be angry with you. You will fulfil your destiny in Jesus name.

Prayer: Lord, help me to identify and fulfil my destiny

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.

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.
