  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 ...

SPIRIT OF COUNSEL

SPIRIT OF COUNSEL

Genesis 41:29-41
Devotional:- “So the advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants” (v.37) NKJV

    Even though you are just an entity, because you are a carrier of the Holy Spirit, what is inside you is so big and unlimited. In other words, you are more than one. Your inner man is innumerable. What is in you is far richer than you can imagine. One of the great arms of the Spirit in you is the Spirit of counsel (Isaiah 11:2). You need to know that you are not an ordinary being. You belong to the order of God. So you carry all that is of God.

The Spirit of counsel is the Spirit that can dish out understanding and solutions to all situations. At a point in time, every natural and ignorant believer will come to the point of confusion. Not knowing what next to do. But because you carry the Holy Spirit, you will not come to that point. If you find yourself there get to know that you caused it and not God (I Corinthians 15:33). It is caused by your ignorance of the truth and permission for sorrows of heart.

With the Spirit of counsel, Joseph was able to offer counsel to king Pharaoh that delivered the whole nation, so also Daniel and Ahithophel (2 Samuel 16:23, Proverbs 20:5). This is the way to tap into it, understand without doubt that by the Spirit of God in you giving counsel of any level is cheap. Also, understand that it takes joy to fetch out of the well of salvation (Isaiah 12:3). If you are going to be a blessed vessel to God, sorrow must not be your lifestyle. You must trust God for all things and operate in the joy of hope (Romans 5:2). Tears will not let you give cheers and joy to others. Soon, even your boss will recognize your valuable counsel that can bring total change and the world shall recognize you.

PRAYER: LORD, TAKE ME TO THE REALM ABOVE SORROW FOR RICH COUNSEL

“WHEN THERE IS TRUE JOY IN YOU, YOUR INNER EYE WILL ALWAYS BE OPENED”

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 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.
