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).

TESTING THE SPIRIT

TESTING THE SPIRIT

Scripture Reading 1 John 4:1-6
Devotional:- “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (V. 1) NKJV

    Every time you are seeking to connect with the Holy Spirit for an inspiration, there will always be a direction. When this happens, don’t jump out yet, but test the spirit to be sure it is from God. If the Holy Spirit could speak through Peter and almost immediately another spirit used him, then all of us have to be careful (Matthew 16:15-23).

The word of God told us that the Holy Spirit will bear witness with our Spirit (Romans 8:16). So, it is not out of place that you are checking out by testing the spirit directing you.

To test the spirit, ask for a scriptural backing for the instruction. This is because God will not speak contrary to His word. To test the spirit, check whether you have peace or trouble in your spirit. God will always speak peaceably to you. In other words, His word will give you peace in your spirit man (Psalms 85:8). This is because the word released will agree with the Spirit of God in you. To test the spirit, you can let God sometimes confirm through others (2 Corinthians 13:1). This isimportant so that we can always be sure if it is an inspiration from God. Then, our testimonies will be sure. Peace. 

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always discern your spirit

“ONLY INSPIRATION FROM GOD IS GUARANTEED”

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.
