ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.
Wednesday July 17th, 2024.
Topic : The Kingdom Edge.
Memory Verse : Matthew 6:31. So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
Bible Reading : Matthew 6:28-30 NIV. Key Verse : v3.
“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?
When we believe in Jesus, we become covenant people. We live our lives not based on circumstances of life but by what God says about us. At this point, whatever we can do or will be able to achieve in life will depend heavily on how we respond to God who is the source of all things that men live to pursue. God created man to be creative in order to recreate his world using resources made available to him by the creator himself. To that extent, he gave us the ability to engage in creative as well as critical thinking which drives inventions for the advancement of the course of mankind or produces positive results most time. “In Jerusalem he made devices invented for use on the towers and on the corner defenses so that soldiers could shoot arrows and hurl large stones from the walls. His fame spread far and wide, for he was greatly helped until he became powerful.” 2 Chronicles 26:15.
When we worry, we go outside the boundaries of creative or critical thinking to get ourselves under pressure as a result of fear of failure especially when we fail to meet certain targets. God doesn’t have any intention that those who belong to him should function like every other men on the planet. He wants us to be different or have a different mindset that agrees with him in order to carry his blessing and secure his intervention anytime we need such. This means that we have to understand our peculiarities as his own people and learn to partner with him in order to make our lives less cumbersome. “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” 1 Peter 2:9-10.
On a very important note, God’s desire is to use us to display his goodness on earth. This can only be possible when we have understanding and make up our minds to partner with him in order to provide a legal ground for his serious involvement as well as interventions in our personal affairs. This legal ground he made available to us in his wisdom through the channel kingdom pursuits. These kingdom pursuits are channels through which God uses men to orchestrate his plan and purpose on earth. “For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ” Matthew 6:32-33.
Prayer :Thank you Father God because you are a perfect planner. Thank you for making me your own. Thank you for giving me a creative mindset. Help me to live above worries. Let my life be tailored to pursue you, your righteousness and purpose daily. Thank you for your commitment to give me an edge in life through kingdom pursuits in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Mathew 14:13-36.
