Your Devotional message for 24th Feb 2021
Scriptures:
Then He said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches” (Luke 13:18-19).
Explanation:
We have studied earlier that the Kingdom of God is not a physical object with boundary as it is invisible, but more real. Many evil occurrences take place in the spirit orchestrated by the Devil before they manifest in the Physical. God do not want you to be ignorant of devil’s devices. Ignoring spiritual realities of life is ignorance and foolishness. No wonder, Paul wrote to the Romans that: “For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace” (Romans 8:6).
In today Daily Meditation, day 24 of 28 days, we will study and meditate on the scriptures relating toour new series the ‘The Kingdom of God’-Advancing the Kingdom.
Then He said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches” (Luke 13:18-19).Jesus spoke the parable of the Sower and this parable to illustrate the Kingdom.
Advancing the Kingdom of God by telling the untold (Evangelism) is a priority of God for His Kingdom.
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:18-20).
Saul who became Paul was at Ephesus and said to the people to receive Christ Jesus and he laid hands on the people. The Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied (Acts 19:6). Finally, I was inspired that “So, the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed”(Acts 19:20).
You must Key to these fundamental principles, study, and meditate upon the Word of God.
“All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, and Your saints shall bless You. They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and talk of Your power, to make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations (Psalm 145:10-13).
Thanks be to God for His fullness of His Power in your life.
Have you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour?
Today, let me challenge you that Jesus Christ came for your salvation and to give you freely Eternal life. If you are yet to receive Christ, do so today by repentance from all your sins and confessJesus Christ as Your Lord and saviour.
Glory be to God!

Faith Confession of the Month:
Our Father, thank you for my salvation, divine health, grace and glory, provision, protection, eternal life, and supernatural ability at work in me. The Holy Spirit is my Senior Partner. I operate in the Higher dimension of the Power of the Holy Spirit. I am more than a conqueror every day of my life.
Thy Kingdom come and Your will be done in my life as it is in Heaven. I operate with the great grace and Mighty Power of God for His great works – Healings, miracles, signs, and wonders. The word of God is in my mouth and as I meditate, it permeates to the deep part of my Spirit, soul, and body. It is written, “And my speech and my preaching will not be with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and of power” (1 Corinthians 2:4). Behold, I receive the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt me (Luke 10:19). I rule over Satan and his cohort of darkness with the Fire of the Holy Ghost. My life is prospering, flourishing in all areas of life as well as my health even as my soul prospers. Success, wealth, financial abundance and victory are mine in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
