THE PAST

  THE PAST Isaiah 43:8-21 Devotional:- “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.” (v.18) NKJV God, who gives us a memory, want us to use our past experiences to help us make quality decisions in the future, but the past is always the enemy of the future for many. If you don’t know how to manage your memory system of the past, it is capable of standing against your success in the future. As emotional beings, we are sometimes faced with the challenges of memories of our past experiences, our errors and failures. You will observe that at every point of decision-making to progress, the enemy will bring back to your memory the past experiences of your failure. This is just to bring fear to your heart and make you doubt the possibility of your success, so you could lose your joy. The scripture we read today instructs us to let go of the past. God is starting a brand-new thing with you. He is giving you new experiences of success and breakthrough. You need to lea...

BE DELIBERATE

Scripture Reading Matthew 16:13-23
Devotional:- “Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven” (V. 17) NKJV

    It’s important we know that it is either a man is influenced by the Holy Spirit or by the spirit of the world. Knowing this will help us to choose which spirit should use us or inspire us at a time. That is why the word of God says; the spirit is subject to us (1 Corinthians 14:32). This means, we can make our choice.

The Holy Spirit inspired Peter to speak the truth about the person of Jesus in Matthew 16:16. Jesus commended him of being inspired by the Holy Spirit. Shockingly, in the same chapter, Peter allowed himself to be inspired by the devil and Jesus rebuked him (Matthew 16:23). This is because Peter was not conscious that the devil could speak through him. That is why the word of God told us to test every spirit (1 John 4:1).

You will see people acting wrongly and they will give the excuses that it was the devil. That is why you and I need to be deliberate in allowing only the spirit of God to inspire our actions. This is by been deliberate in testing every spirit before acting. Be sure the ideas or instructions in your spirit is according to the word of God. Measure every inspiration by the word of God. Make it a deliberate thing that in any place or situation is sure you are always inspired by the Holy Spirit. Either you are playing, joking with friends at home or in the office. Always connect with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and you shall be signs and wonders. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, teach me only to allow your Spirit in my heart.

“IF YOU ARE NOT CONSCIOUSLY INSPIRED BY GOD, YOU WILL BE UNCONSCIOUSLY INSPIRED BY THE FLESH”

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.
