STRENGTH IN GOD

STRENGTH IN GOD 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 Devotional:- “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” (V4) NKJV      Many Christians today have so much confusion about their strength in God. It has made the church think that a few limited people can demonstrate the strength of God. So, multitudes are weak in strength. Though they come to church, yet in times of challenges, you see them rushing to another Christian whom they know to be stronger in God. Neglecting the fact that a New Testament believer is a potential priest and king for Christ (Revelation 5:10; Mark 16:17).

SELF DISCIPLINE

SELF DISCIPLINE

1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Devotional- “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified”  (V. 27)



   It is almost impossible to create any good thing in life without self discipline. The truth is that with the virtue of self discipline, there is nothing in this world that any man can not achieve. This is because self discipline is putting yourself in the mould that is necessary for the formation or bringing forth a thing. Everything you need to produce demand some set of condition before it can be shapened to what you desire. A person preparing for an interview must study to come out successfully. A manager must educate, delegate and evaluate.


    Paul the apostle said that he had to discipline his body not to be disqualified. In self discipline, it is the body we disciplined to adjust to a mould to create a goal. Those who cannot discipline themselves cannot achieve many things on earth. Envying someone or blaming someone is wrong. When you identify the mould or the condition to achieve anything be willing to subject yourself to it. If you think you need it and you don't know what it takes, ask those who are achieving it.

   Friend, never consider your achievement and your success impossible. The word of God says “I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me” (Philippians 4:13). The information you are reading today is out to empower you by the Spirit of the Lord. You are not less than anyone in ability. You only need to discipline yourself to face it. You will succeed in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, whenever and wherever I need to discipline myself, let me enjoy your grace.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.
