  SUBMIT TO HIM John 14:12-24  “Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (V. 23) NKJV   Sometimes on the platform of love, there is nothing men cannot offer to one another. If you truly love a man you will not want to reject or disobey him. You will want to do as much as it is in your capacity. You will not want to turn him down. Can you imagine how strictly you want to keep to an appointment with a loved one? If we have attached so much importance to responding to our lover, how much more God. If you truly love God it will be natural for you to submit to His will. You will not need to argue or ask too many questions. It will be a pleasure submitting to His will. Jesus said in the scripture we read today, if anyone loves me he will keep my words. In other word he will submit or obey my word. Then the reward here is that the father will also love such one i...

 DOMINION  

Psalms 8:1-9
Devotional:- “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV

    At creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6; Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God (Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to be in charge of all creation.

Since the devil was cast to the earth, he has been dreaming of taking over and ruling it. Since he was not aware of God’s agenda of creation, he was shocked to see God creating another one like God and may likely be a ruler. God gave dominion to man, and the devil was not pleased. Dominion interprets rulership and authority over others. It is also a legal permission to dominate others and determine activities in their lives. The government of each country exercises dominion over the people. You don’t need to like them, but you must obey them. This is your true nature.

Friend, you have dominion over all forces and authority. It is sin that devalues the strength of man. Don’t put on a defeated mentality. Don’t let your situation determine your mindset but the word of God. Do you know that the almighty God is in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16). He that is in you, is greater than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Wake up and take over in the name of Jesus. Gain back your authority by believing the word of God and let the Holy Spirit always guide your steps (John 5:30). Stand against pain, sickness, sorrow, failure, and frustration in your life. Our dominion is not only over the animals but also over all the powers of the enemy (Luke 10:19). By the name of Jesus, even the angels are at alert to execute your words (Hebrews 1:14). Refuse to be destroyed by your challenges. Arise over it and win.

PRAYER: LORD, RELEASE MY LIGHT OF DOMINION TO ME.

“DOMINION IS THE HERITAGE OF RULERS, TAKE YOURS”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.

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.
