PRESENCE OF GOD  Psalm 16:5-11 Devotional:- “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (v.11) NKJV As good as joy is, one of the greatest tasks of joy is sustaining it. So the world always finds it difficult to sustain. Many cannot even experience it for more than two hours per week. This is because they have not located the source of joy. As a believer, you need to know that joy is a product of the presence of God. Wherever God’s presence is, our scripture today says joy will fill the place. It means the oxygen and the hydrogen of the atmosphere of God are joy. So you cannot be in His presence and not know joy. No wonder David said he is always glad when it is time to go to the house of the Lord. (Psalm 122:1). To experience the presence of the Lord, you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and then His presence will be within you. You also need to believe that He is with you according to His word.

YOUR STRENGTH

Scripture Reading: Daniel 11:29-39
Devotional:- “Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits” (V. 32) NKJV

Every child of God needs to know that their covenant walk with God determines their strength with God. We are strong spiritually because God is behind us (Romans 8:31). None of us can stand the resistance of life without Him (John 15:5) This is the reason some people in the church cannot overcome the forces against them, because God is a God of covenant.

When a child of God is not walking in the covenant of God, he/she gives room for the enemy to have his way over their lives and destiny. Behold, our strength in God is in our faith in the word of God (1 John 5:4). We cannot therefore be disobedience to the word that is our strength and expect victory (Romans 6:1). It is as we walk in the will of God that the presence of God will be with us. Samson thought he was in control of the anointing. But it was too late for him to realize that it is controlled by God (Judges 16:20).

Friend, your strength is in the presence of God with you (Romans 8:31). There are forces of God at work with you and that is why you are protected. If you stop obeying God, they will depart (Romans 6:1; Psalms 34:7). Whenever you call the name of Jesus, you are calling their Commander in Chief (Psalms 24:10; Ephesians 1:19-23). Therefore, you cannot be against the Commander and the battalion will answer you. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to walk in what will take your strength away from me.

“YOU ARE ONLY STRONG WHEN YOU WHEN YOU ARE OBEYING THE COMMANDER”

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.

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.
