  JOY IN PRAYERS I Samuel 2:1-10 Devotional:- “And Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; My horn is exalted in the LORD. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.” (V. 1) NKJV We often fall into depression when we look around us, and all we see are unanswered prayers. It becomes worse when you are despised and mocked for that thing that you are looking up to God for. Hannah was like that, a depressed and unhappy woman. What was Hannah’s secret that made her proclaim to all that “my heart rejoices in the Lord”? 1. She decided to look away from her oppressor 2. She went to God in prayer, pouring her sorrow to God.  3. She made a vow to give God the child 4. She left the presence of God, believing God answers prayer. Hannah made good her vow, and her joy was full. Are you depressed? Pour your heart to God, make a vow to him, and you will see him answer your prayers and your joy will Come. Prayer: Lord, help me to look up to you, not look down o...

 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”

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.
