STRENGTH IN GOD 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 Devotional:- “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” (V4) NKJV      Many Christians today have so much confusion about their strength in God. It has made the church think that a few limited people can demonstrate the strength of God. So, multitudes are weak in strength. Though they come to church, yet in times of challenges, you see them rushing to another Christian whom they know to be stronger in God. Neglecting the fact that a New Testament believer is a potential priest and king for Christ (Revelation 5:10; Mark 16:17).

PREVAILING OVER POVERTY

PREVAILING OVER POVERTY

II Corinthians 8:1-12
Devotional:- “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich” (V. 9) NKJV

    There is no one poverty doesn’t want to rule over, but everyone prevails over it by working their way out of it with wisdom. God’s wisdom is stronger than poverty. The wisdom of this world is weak. Today a larger percentage of the population of the world is still poor. Over 80% are poor while 20% could be called the rich. I believe, in our time, that figure will change. You will also be listed among the rich in Jesus name.

Who is rich? He/she is the one whose investment dividend can sufficiently meet his needs. One of God’s wisdom to break poverty is to deny yourself to save a particular percentage of whatever comes to your hand. This will be difficult for those who are controlled by the flesh and give themselves to pleasure (Proverbs 21:17). After we have saved for some time, we can now seek counsel on what to invest in.

We need to know that apart from the fact that some people are not applying wisdom to their financial lives, multitude today are living with the spirit of poverty. You need to command it to leave your life. Show poverty the scripture we read today as the price Jesus has paid for you. Then cast him out of your life and family. Also, be determined to work in God’s wisdom for prosperity.

Start to sow in obedience to God’s instructions. That is the greatest investment. That is an investment to the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:19-20). The dividends are the grace of understanding to prosper (Isaiah 58:7-8). Then seek the knowledge of investment and trust in His favour. Soon you shall be promoted financially. A Sower will always be a reaper. Whatever comes to your hand will not die anymore. Your hand from now shall multiply all good things and you shall be free from poverty.

PRAYER: LORD, DESTROY THE POWER OF POVERTY IN MY LIFE.

“A MAN IS BLESSED BY WORDS BUT WEALTH IS GATHERED BY WISDOM”

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.
