  COMPARISM 2 Corinthians 10:7-18 Devotional:- “Oh, don't worry; we wouldn't dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!” (v.12) NLT. Man, by his complexity, sometimes creates complications for himself in life. One of the things we often do incorrectly is to measure our lives by comparing them to other people’s lives. We often forget that we are sent for a different purpose, so our goals and objectives cannot be the same. There is nothing wrong with trying to gauge your level of performance against others in the same field. But it will be completely wrong for you to determine whether you are a failure or a success by the life of another man. Paul, the apostle of Christ, knows that his own purpose and program are from the Lord and are different from what others have been given. For example, if some apostles were marr...

LORD OF LORDS

LORD OF LORDS

“For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe (V. 17)

    In this world, there are territories and kingdoms. You cannot find any place on the earth where there is no ruler of some kind. Everywhere belongs to someone already. Just as it is physically, so is it

Spiritually. God’s word reveals to us that there are principalities and powers and rulers of territories spiritually (Ephesians 6:12). These rulers exercise authority over the people of their domain (Mark 10:42). That is why you will sometimes hear about a particular affliction common to a particular environment.

But the Bible calls our God Lord of lords. This means He has authority and dominion over all lords both physical and spiritual. That is why as a child of God, your authority supersedes. When Jesus was in His earthly ministry people kept asking who gave Him authority to do what He was doing. (Matthew 21:23). But they do not know that His authority is from above.

Friend, stop being afraid of any lord no matter their names. Your God is the Lord of lords (Proverbs 21:1). Stop living under the torment of a lord whatsoever. You can stand in the name of the Lord Jesus and they will bow (Philippians 2:9-11). God’s authority is supreme. It is the highest and higher than that of any president or governor of any state. Greater is He that is in you (John 4:4). Never allow any demonic authority to take over your life, family, house or business. In the name of the Lord, they will bow to you. Establish the Lordship of Jesus in that place where you are and your peace shall be established.

Prayer: Lord, establish your Lordship over my life and family.

“IT IS WHO YOU SUBMIT TO THAT IS YOUR LORD” (Romans 6:16)

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.
