SPIRIT OF WISDOM

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).

RISING FROM DEFEAT

RISING FROM DEFEAT

Joshua 7:2-12
Devotional:- “So the LORD said to Joshua: "Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face?” (V. 10) NKJV

    When a man is defeated, the enemy often wants him to see it as the end of life. He will make him see how he has put in so much and has resulted in failure; he will make him see most things as ‘impossible in life, and bring discouragement to his heart. It is not in the devil’s interest that you rise again. He often wants to discourage us from rising from defeat.

If you find these challenges in your life, you need to first know that most of the things that the devil is saying to your hearing are lies (John 8:44). You need to know that your victory in life is already established in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:37). Even though you are looked down upon today you will soon be standing in glory. Joshua and the children of Israel so much looked down on Ai and sent a few people to fight them. Surprisingly they were defeated. Joshua and the people got discouraged. They became afraid of what will become of their lives and they never knew that Achan had sinned against the Lord. Listen, no matter how much God promised a man, if the man continues in sin the grace of God will not flow (Romans 6:1-2).

In the state of your defeat always check if you are not disobedient to God. Sin is what will make Him turn back; then correct your ways. But having examined yourself, you need to rise again and face life's challenges. Defeat in life does not mean we have sinned alone; it might also mean that God wants to take total glory on your enemy. After all, if you have never been defeated you will not appreciate victory. Everything happening around you is meant to give you comprehensive testimony. Those who are laughing at you today will soon laugh with you. Don’t give up, God is with you (Romans 8:31). You are too much to be defeated. Arise and win.

PRAYER: LORD, STRENGTHEN ME TO RISE AGAIN

“HE THAT IS TRULY DEFEATED IS THE ONE THAT REFUSES TO RISE FROM DEFEAT”

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.
