TOPIC: Don’t Play Games With God (TREM Devotional 21 July 2026)
If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land. – Isaiah 1:19 KJV
MESSAGE
Don’t play games with God. You must learn to trust Him. You do not lose by trusting Him. He has already blessed you with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places. The least you can do is respond through your actions. That is all! You do not do anything to make Him act; it is already done, with or without you.
God can make you a multi-millionaire overnight. It takes Him nothing to get you there. Just one idea, and you will become the reigning sensation of the moment. No wonder Paul counted everything as dung for the excellency of the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He said: “that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;” – Philippians 3:10 KJV
What Apostle Paul is saying is, “I am pursuing Him. He is my pursuit in life, not money, talent, job, or career, but Jesus.” He pursued Him to understand why He had apprehended him. There is a reason God picked him out from the multitude, washed him, and cleansed him so that he could become a useful instrument in His hand.
Many churches encourage singing and declaring that you are taking back what the devil stole from you. However, oftentimes, the devil did not steal anything; we gave it to him. Many times, we receive instructions in church but walk away without obeying them. The issue is, what do we do with these instructions?
When we do nothing, we hand over to the devil what truly belongs to us, and he has no choice but to take it. The devil will be laughing and saying, “These people are accusing me of what I did not do.” You handed it over. Yes, he is a deceiver, but he cannot take from you what you did not hand over to him. My prayer for you is that you will not give the devil a chance. You will not fall into his schemes.
