TOPIC: ATTAINING AUTHORITY IN KINGDOM PRAYERS


TEXT: 1Cor 13:11

_When I was a child, I made use of a child´s language, I had a child´s feelings and a child´s thoughts now that I am a man, I have put away the things of a child._


LESSON

We were redeemed from slavery to sonship in Christ. However, it is only by growth that we can lay claim of the inheritance of sons(Gal 4:1-4).


Any believer who refuses to grow will groan. A Christian who refuses to grow will surely pay for his negligence.


A baby Christian will be carried for a while, however, the day he needs more than milk, that carriage expires!


When your need is beyond your stage, you are due for another stage else you beg! This is why many beg. They overstayed at an expired stage!


A child is dependent and does not drive cars. He must be driven by someone. You cannot be in charge as a baby but you must be under. The mandate in the kingdom makes a demand for growth. God cannot put a baby Christian in charge of the universe, he will sell it for a morsel of bread like Esau! Arise and grow!


The characters of _Babyhood_ that must be left behind are:


1.Lack of understanding


2.Looking for easy thing rather than the right things


3.Need to be pushed to do what is known to be right


4.Indulgence in bad habits.


5.Lack of responsibility.


6.Dependency


7.Weakness.


How do we grow?


1.Feed! (1Peter 2:2), there are diverse foods. Some need to change their diet level! 

2.Take challenges; David confronted Goliath and proved the manhood in him. Confront challenges and give it what it will take in the name of the Lord! Every challenge won increases your faith. Those lost teach you a lesson you cannot forget. You gain either way! Take the mandate in the house as a challenge that will mature you to manhood. We are the light of the world!


PRAYER ALERT


1. Lord  thank you for the privilege to be called by your name


2. I receive grace to grow to maturity


3. Father open my eyes of understanding to my portion as a son and to walk therein

BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL - THE COMMONWEALTH

 BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL DATE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 19,2021 TOPIC: THE COMMONWEALTH TEXT: Eph 2:12(NJKV) _that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world._  LESSON A believer need not envy the blessing someone else enjoys because we all have equal access to the Father's treasure.  Although we might have different levels of knowledge which is due to growth.  As read in Matthew 6:33 that meditation in Kingdom realities makes it real in our understanding.  The term  _commonwealth_ has its origin traced to the welfare of the public. It has a variety of uses today but the sense of a common benefit still appears in all. There is a commonwealth of Israel which the Jews have explored till date but now the Church has legally been grafted to a greater promise. The deposit of this wealth is in promises and covenants. This is the kingdom welfare provision as stated in the c

BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL - INCUBATING THE FIRE(3)

-
BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL DATE: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6,2021 TOPIC: INCUBATING THE FIRE(3) TEXT: Judges 15:5 _Then firing the sticks, he let the foxes loose among the uncut grain of the Philistines, and all the corded stems as well as the living grain and the vine-gardens and the olives went up in flames._ LESSON Samson had a focus of what to do with the foxes as well as the extent of the fields to be burnt. This determined the number of the foxes he gathered! Even God had given Adam a job before giving him a help meet! This is vision. Samson also knew that a single fox will not get what needed to be done accomplished therefore he gathered a team of foxes. In a nutshell, no haphazard burning. It is the vision that determines  the provision, the fields you have in view create passion and fire then will fall! You cannot pray beyond the burden you have. You cannot be anointed beyond the vision you have. You only need men in your life to fulfil his vision. Yield to the vision, live for a course, th

BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL - REVELATION OF HIS GLORY (3)

-
BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL DATE: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2021 TOPIC: REVELATION OF HIS GLORY (3) TEXT: 1 Peter 1:23 _For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God._ LESSON We have a spiritual seed in us that grows till it produces fruits of glory. The kingdom of God in us is likened to a seed that when it fully grows it produces place for birds of the earth to nest in. Lack of the understanding and recognition of that seed leads to men being stranded in the journey of life. Matt 13:31-32 _He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. 32 Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches."_ From the above text, glory is a product of growth which leads to the expression of kingdom potentials you are loaded with. Growth
