  TIME OF CELEBRATION  2 Samuel 6:11-23 Devotional:- “Then David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod” (V. 14) NKJV As much as this season is tagged with much celebration, the enemy often tries to see how he could poison the joy of many people to remove them from the list of people who will celebrate. It will be wisdom for you to know that happiness and sorrow are a choice. I will advise you to choose to rejoice in hope and leave sorrow for the enemy (Romans 5:22). In the scripture we read today, David and all the people were in a mood of celebration because of the advent of the ark of the Lord. But a lady could not see what was worth celebrating, and she took offence at David’s elegant celebration. And she remains barren till her death. Friend, if the coming of the ark of the Lord is sufficient to lose celebration, how much more the coming of Christ, the Son of God. Don’t let the devil push you to sorrow corner in a time like this.

YOUR STRENGTH

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

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.
