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).

AVAILABILITY            

2 Timothy 2:3-13
Devotional Verse -“No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier” (V. 4)


   In our service to God either in our kingdom service or in the office, effectiveness demands our availability. It is important you know that availability preceded ability. No matter how able a man is, if he is not available, someone else will have to do the job. So, making yourself available is so vital to your effectiveness in the service of God.
 
   The word of God says, no one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the civilian affairs that will be able to please the one that employs him as a soldier. This simply means, there is need to focus on our services to God. Whichever area you are serving the Lord, be effectively available. So many want to serve but they don't have time. The truth is that, there will always be time for things of value to us. That is why you must create time, out of no time to serve your God. Make it of utmost priority (Matthew 6:33). That is why the Bible expect us to love God above all things (Luke 14:26-27).
 
   If you only serve when it is convenient for you, then you are not a real servant. You must do your best to be available for God whenever He calls for your service even if it is inconvenient. Remember, humility is when you can drop your plan to fulfill His assignment. When God can interrupt your time and schedule, that is when He is truly your Lord. See your service to God as an opportunity and not obligation. Then your service will be reward-able. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me the heart of a true servant
 
“AVAILABILITY SUPERSEDES ABILITY”

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.
