INFERIORITY COMPLEX Judges 6:7-16 Devotional:- “But Lord ‘Gideon asked’ how can l save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family” (V. 15) NIV When God looks at us anytime, He sees us with the rich things He has created in us. This makes people to be surprised whenever God calls them to an assignment. It is the reason every God-given vision is always greater than man. If God opens the eye of your spirit to see what He has in stock for you, you may doubt the possibility. If you observe when God called Moses, he saw himself as not qualified and said “But am a stammerer but God sees great leadership potential in him (Exodus 4: 10-14). So also, is Jeremiah who said: “l am a child (Jeremiah 1:6-7). So also in the scripture we read today, Gideon said “l am the least in my family”. I don’t know how you see yourself too. Probably you have a poor background or there is no one to help you. These are not strong factors for failure. God has deposited rich t

UNFORGIVENESS

Matthew 18:21-36
Devotional:- “Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?” (V. 33) NKJV

    Sometimes it is painful when we have to forgive someone who has done something hurtful to us. This is because we believe he had done it out of a wicked heart and needs to be repaid with the right coin. That is why some people will even go to the point of physical combat. That is, they want to punish their offenders. Because of unforgiveness, best friends have been separated, many marriages have suffered divorce, and we have despised people who could be of blessing and help to us. If God were dealing with us how we deal with others, we would no longer be alive. If men were God, they would have killed all men.

The story we read today talks about a servant that was forgiven so much by his master but he did not forgive his fellow servant. That is the lifestyle of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21). God will not also forgive them (Matt.6 14-15). To overcome unforgiveness there is a need to know that it is a sin and a work of the flesh. And we can’t correct a sinner when we are also sinning. Two wrongs will never make a right. You must put your flesh under the control of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16). To overcome the flesh you must keep silencing or put to death the deeds of the flesh (Colossians 3:5). If you cannot forgive others, you cage yourself and lose your freedom of joy. It could even cause you sickness. This is because it grows bitterness in the heart and bitterness produces tension. You also need to know that if you will not forgive, God will not forgive you of your sins (Matthew 6:14). Then how shall you escape? God has taught me to forgive men even before they offend me. Besides, I have realized that people offend others out of their ignorance. Jesus says, Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing (Luke 23:34). Whatever that person did was done because of his low level of understanding. No matter what anyone or group of people has done to you, release them. Don’t hold them for ransom to ruin your life and destiny; you could be locking up your miracles. But as you release others you also will be released. And you Will experience a great peace in your heart. Your glorious destiny is about to unfold. You won’t miss it.

PRAYER: LORD, RELEASE YOUR GRACE OF FORGIVENESS UPON ME.

ONLY THE VICTORS Revelation 21:1-8 Devotional:- “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son” (v. 7) NKJV      In this part of the world, many are not so used to taking responsibility over challenges. Instead of been proactive to foresee and prevent issues, people are used to looking out for whom to blame and who should help out (Proverbs 14:23). It is vivid that we are in a challenging season. It is also clear that we are drawing closer to the end of the age.

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.

ACKNOWLEDGING HIM Scripture Reading Proverbs 3:1-10 Devotional:- “In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths” (V. 6). NKJV      Living by inspiration always makes you and God to be partners in doing all your things together (1 Corinthians 3:9). That makes you a wonder wherever you are and in whatever you are doing. But, there are processes to getting inspired by the Holy Spirit. One of the factors is that, you must regularly acknowledge God. This is because God will not force Himself on you (Genesis 6:3).
