  THE HEART OF WORSHIP Romans 6:1-14 Devotional:- “And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God” (V. 13) Since worship is our first purpose on earth we need to know that worship will not be worship if we don’t surrender to God. So, surrendering is the heart of worship. In our world today, surrender sound negative. It could mean to give up or losing or admit your defeat. But it is giving ourselves to God not out of fear or necessity but in love (1 John 4:9-19). Three things often attempt to block our mind from total surrendering to God, fear, pride and confusion. As kingdom citizen, please know it that you must learn to trust God. A woman will not be able to surrender to her husband if she does not trust him and so also you to God. To truly surrender to God, you must admit your weaknesses and limitations. That is when you truly want to ask ...

KINGS

Revelation 5:8-14
Devotional:- “And have made us kings and priest to our God and we shall reign on the earth” (V. 10) NKJV

    There are numerous people in every land but there are few kings. These are leaders of the people. These are people with authority and dominion over the environment. He that falls victim to their wrath is made to suffer greatly (Proverbs 19:12) The scripture we read today brought it to light that believers have been appointed as kings and priests and we shall reign upon the earth. I need to let you know that the scripture is referring to you. We have been made kings over the power and principalities that rule the earth. This is because the almighty God now dwells in you by His Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16; 1 John 4:4).

God the creator of all things, rules over the heavens and the earth. Lucifer the devil, one of the creatures of God, rebelled in heaven and was cast down to the earth (Isaiah 14:12-17). Since then, he has been assuming the rulership over the earth. That is one of the reasons the earth was covered with darkness (Genesis 1:2). When God realized the creation of the earth had been distorted, He then created man to rule over the earth to keep it away from the devil’s rulership and destruction (Genesis 1:26, 2:15). The devil uses dubious ways to take the rulership from man by deceiving him to sin (Genesis 3:1-5).

Since then, sin and death have been reigning over man through the deception of the devil. This is to make humanity keep going against God, His creator. By so doing humanity has been put under the punishment of sin and bondage of the devil. But Jesus came to take back the power and set us free from the power of sin, death, and the devil (Matthew 28:18). He came to give rulership back to us (Revelation 5:10).

Friend, you need to know that you’ve been appointed king over the forces that govern the earth. You have been given rulership over sin and all its consequences like sickness, poverty, debt, pain, failure, and all forms of evil (Romans 6:14). You have been given authority over all the power of the devil (Luke 10:19). You have been made to sit in heavenly places, that is the place of power and authority with Christ (Ephesians 1:19-22, 2:6). You need to resume to your office now. Don’t allow sickness, darkness, failure, poverty, and sorrow to rule your life. Arise in the power of the Holy Spirit and gain access to the realm of signs and wonders. Declares a thing in your authority from now and it shall be established (Job 22:28). Never think like a victim anymore. You are a ruler and a king. Refuse sin and the devil dominating over your life (Romans 6:14). And your life will never be the same again.

PRAYER: LORD, STRENGTHEN ME FOR MY RULERSHIP FROM NOW.

“IF A KING REFUSES TO RULE OTHERS WILL RULE OVER HIM”

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.
