SPIRIT OF WISDOM I Corinthians 2:6-10 Devotional:- “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory” (V.7) NKJV      The mind of every man is created to operate wisdom even at the level of common sense. This is one of the reasons why many are poor. The reason why this is so is that most human beings do not know how to empower their mind for wisdom with the right and quality information. They rather believe that life is all about making do with everything that comes their way. Wrong information and association have made many minds dull (Proverbs 13:20).

IN HIS WORD

Scripture: John 8:31-36
Devotional:-"Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed". v.31 NKJV

    A disciple of Jesus is not the one who come to just hear the word of God. They are rather those who abide or stay with the word of God. The desire of a disciple of Jesus is to be like Jesus. This is loving the way He lives. This is patterning  our lives after the life of Jesus because of the great encounter we have with Him (Matthew 17:4)

 In the scripture we read today, Jesus show us the way to becoming His disciple. This is by abiding in the word of God. It is staying with the word till we have good understanding. It is meditating on the word till we encounter the revelation of what God is saying (Psalm 1: 1-3). By this we will be able to live as He lives.

Friend, to abide in the word of God takes strong discipline and commitment to the word. This is by willingly taking the word, meditate and live according to the word (Joshua 1:8).  This is when we can have the best of God (Isaiah 1: 19) Discipleship is cultivating the life of Christ through the word of God. The word of God form our inner person to be like Christ when we stay with it. This is when we can reflect the image of Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). Peace.

Prayer: Lord, put the love of your word in my heart.

"Your mind only get shaped to the word you always hear"

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.

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.

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.
