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).

2 Corinthians 1:1-11
Devotional Verse:- “For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ” (V. 5)



   Part of the instruments of service to God in our lives is our experiences of life. It is not just for fun that God allows you to go through all you have gone through. He is making you to go through all you are going through because He wants to use you to help others out of their troubles. You really cannot help people out of what you have not gone through before.

   We can see in the word of God multitude of different experiences passed through by Apostle Paul and his team. All of these cumulate to the richness in the writings of Apostle Paul and his team. The same is applicable to you too. Your destiny in God demands that you go through some hard times. God allow them to create a mode for your purpose of service to your world (Hebrews 5:8). Each of your experiences in your family and in your marriage; your experiences in your school and where you work, your experiences in your walk with God and in the church, your experiences in your businesses. Your pains, problems, hurts, thorns and trials. They are what makes you rich in been a blessing to others.

   Friend, stop getting embitter at God because of your experiences in life. Don't turn negative either (Hebrews 12:5-11). Don't grow a bitter heart, it only produces a bitter life (Hebrews 12:15). It's important you see that the plan of God for you is good and not evil (Jeremiah 29:11). Look at the lessons you have learnt and use them to help others out and you shall be a blessing to your generation. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, reveal your blessings to me in my pain.

IF LIFE NOT IS PAINFUL, IT WILL NOT BE GAINFUL”

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.
