"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9" Devotion : It pays to do good. We have been called into the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ to be fruitful in every good work (Colossians 1:10). The opening scripture reveals a secret about showing kindness to others; it says when begin to feel weary or tired of doing good, we should be alert because that is the very point when our harvest or reward is due. If we press on just a little more, our harvest will be waiting for us to reap it. Therefore, my fellow brethren, the sign for the reward or harvest is the point at which you feel like giving up; it is the enemy's trick to attempt to get you to react negatively to your feelings and lose the reward. Let kindness or doing good be your lifestyle just like it was for Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Acts 10:38).

"But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: Mark 3:29" Devotion : Jesus made the profound statement in the opening scripture. He said anyone who speaks abominable words against the Father and the Son will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks abominable words against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven but punished instead. It is our responsibility to please the Holy Spirit because He has come to dwell in us and with us forever; He is here to help us, but He needs our cooperation. Let's not take Him for granted or speak irreverently against Him. He might not spare us. Dear beloved, are you taking the Holy Spirit for granted? My answer is - NO.

"Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD. Isaiah 54:1" Devotion : The Lord God Almighty is a wonder, and His wisdom is unsearchable. He has given the barren in His kingdom the utmost opportunity to be fruitful. He said the barren need not cry, complain, or become bitter and discouraged. It is time for them to sing unto the Lord Jesus Christ; it is time for them to sing spontaneously and cry aloud in prayer. He said that their children are many and full of wonders, and that is why they are going through that period of barrenness. It is just a period of testing; it will pass away. This principle was applied by Rebekah, Hannah, and Elizabeth, and they gave birth to mighty men of valor. Dear beloved, if it seems you are barren, don't be worried; instead, continually sing and cry aloud unto God, and y...

"And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. Luke 1:35" Devotion : The Holy Spirit is needed to ensure your success in whatever good endeavor you are engaged in. The fact that you are good or that the endeavor you are engage in is good does not guarantee a fruitful result. You need the power of the Holy Spirit to bring it to a perfect end. There were many virgins in Nazareth of Judea, but it took the Holy Spirit to have favor with Mary to endue her with power to conceive and give birth to Jesus Christ. There is nothing impossible for the Holy Spirit, but you must be born again to receive the power of the Holy Spirit. After you are born again, He comes to live in you. Then you can ask Him to empower you through desire, fasting, persistent prayer, and waiting. The initial sign that He has anointed you w...

"Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: Proverbs 6:10" Devotion : The Holy Scriptures have revealed to us how poverty can be identified so that we can either choose to avoid it or befriend it. Poverty is an attitude: When you begin to love sleep, slumber, and idleness, you have befriended poverty, and in no time, you will begin to experience lack and poverty. Poverty is dangerous; it can cause you to sell all your assets, and it can even influence you to commit a crime. Avoid too much sleep and idleness; instead, be industrious, enjoy working, and you will have enough to spare. Dear beloved, have you ever experienced poverty and lack?

To overcome it is to *WORK AND PRAY.

"Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. Proverbs 12:25" Devotion : One of the weapons of the enemy against the saints is anxiety or worry. He uses it to demoralize Christians or create doubt in their hearts, but the Almighty God has given the saints the weapons they need to overcome anxiety. The first weapon is the good word: You need to hear a good word to defeat anxiety. The good word is found in the Holy Scriptures; therefore, find a scripture that is related to that worry, declare it to yourself, and the anxiety will disappear. The second weapon is to give thanks and praise to God for what He has done for you; as you sing and thank Him, the burden of worry will be lifted from you. The last weapon is to pray, especially in other tongues, and the Holy Ghost will crush the anxiety. Hallelujah!

"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3" Devotion : The opening scripture demonstrates to the children of God that they can receive great and mighty things from God. The key is to call to God in faith by using His Word. He is always ready to hear us, and He never gets bored of our prayers. He wants to show us great and mighty things that we don't know. The Bible tells us that there are heights in the spirit realm that God wants us to attain. He wants us to reach the height where we can see from where He sees and can comprehend Him a height of no limits, where all things are possible. Let us give importance to fellowship with our heavenly Father and commune with Him on a frequent basis so that we can see great and mighty things. Dear beloved, which realm are you in?
