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).

TRADING THE FLESH

TRADING THE FLESH

Romans 8:1-11
Devotional:- “For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace (v. 6)

        A major challenge of most relationship is our ‘self”. Each one is always trying to display and uphold his “self”. This causes much rift whenever any family is settling dispute or disagreements. It is also important that we remember that when we give our life to Jesus, we gave out our self and take his life. The flesh or self is the mind-set of our culture, tradition and nature. So as children of God we can no longer allow the flesh or our canal mind or self to rule our lives or ruin our relationship (Romans 6:14)

To overcome the flesh, the Bible tells us to give it to God as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1-2). A sacrifice is normally killed, though we are still alive but we should consider ourselves dead to sin and self (Romans 6:11). That is seeing yourself totally disconnected from sin and the world but only connected to God. That is the reason Jesus said we must be converted and be as a child to learn the way of the kingdom of God (Matthew 18:3). As long as a man has the mind-set of the world, he will not be able to please God (Rom 8:7-8). We are to start to unlearn all the cultural and traditional approach of living. We are to start to renew our mind in the word of God. (Rom 12:2)

As a child of God, you should not think of fighting back anymore or living a life of sin (Galatians 2:20). That way, you will enjoy your relationship. Peace

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from the spirit of self.

“IT IS WHEN YOU COME TO THE END OF YOUR SELF THAT GOD CAN LIVE THROUGH YOU”

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.
