PEACE

  PEACE Proverbs 12:15-25 Devotional:- “Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, But counselors of peace have joy” (v.20) NKJV Two virtues often work together, and they are hardly separable; they are peace and joy. You cannot have one without the other. The moment one of them is with you, it will draw the second. This is because they are both products of God’s presence. Wherever the kingdom of God is established either in the house or office, surely peace and joy of the Lord will be present there (Galatians 5:22, Romans 14:17). The scripture we read today said there shall be joy for those who promote peace. Jesus says Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God (Matthew 5:9). And you know that God dwell in the heart of His children (I Corinthians 3:16). You also know that God’s presence commands joy (Psalms 16:11). When you receive God’s grace for joy, peace also follows you. A sorrowful man is a dangerous man. Sorrow promotes violence in the h...

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”

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
