  YOUR OPPONENTS     1 Peter 5:5-11 DEVOTIONAL:- “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” (v. 8). NKJV When a man does not know his opponent, he will be totally ignorant of the way to victory. Most people always make the mistakes taking man as their enemy. As God’s children, we must come to understand that the forces against us are the forces of the devil, though they always use people. God’s word says we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against principalities (they take territorial government), against powers (master spirit), rulers of the darkness of this age and against the spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). These are forces of God that fell with the devil, and their powers were not taken from them (Revelation 12:7-9). You must understand that they are the ones manifesting and manipulating in different ways in human lives (2 Corinthians 2:11). Th...

WATER OF LIFE

John 7:37-44 NKJV
On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. (V 37)

    It is true that the days of men are filled with many Challenges. But do you know God has also provided wonderful grace and strength for us to face them? One of them is what I call the water of life – “The Holy Spirit”. Jesus was not making mistakes to present the Holy Spirit as the water of life. He was only symbolising the Holy spirit by the way He works. That is, as water but now a living water that gives life. If we quickly look into some characteristics of water. One of them is drinking. We drink it to quench our thirst. And Jesus said we can drink of this water of life so that rivers of living water may flow out of us.

Friend, do you know that Jesus was introducing the source of great power to us here, that when we drink out of the water, rivers of water can flow out of us?

That when we are to face a battle of life and we look not strong enough; just look for a corner and drink and you will be strong, confident and bold. And what will come out of you will be powerful. This is the secret of Peter’s boldness on the day of Pentecost and the lifestyle of the disciples Act 4:31.

The water is the Holy Spirit. Drinking it is praying in the Spirit or tongues (Jude 1:20). You are also drinking whenever you are meditating in the word of God (John 6:63). Are you to face any examination, interview or you are to face a panel, then look for a corner and first drink of the water. You will be surprise of the result of your performance. This is how God expect all believer to live out His life and He live through us in all situation in this world. This makes you and God to start to work together in all you do (Mark 16:20). This is our weapon of victory.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always drink of the water of life daily

“TAKING OF THE WATER OF LIFE IS PARTAKING OF DIVINITY”.

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.

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.
