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).

PREPARING FOR GREATNESS

PREPARING FOR GREATNESS          

Genesis 40:4-15
Devotional Verse:-“And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; so they were in custody for a while” (V. 4)



   Service will prepare you for greatness. Service is a ladder to be used to climb to greatness. Service gives a man the opportunity to meet and fellowship with great people. This will start to reveal to you the way and wisdom of the great. This will begin to connect you to great people, and opportunity for greatness will present themselves to you.

   God was orchestrating the way of Joseph into greatness. As a foreigner, it may not be easy to take him directly to the palace. But God allowed him to be pushed to the prison. At the same time, God made Pharaoh’s servant to be pushed to the same prison. Joseph was made to serve Pharaoh’s servant in the prison (Genesis 40:4). By service, Joseph became connected with these palace servants. All these happened because the Lord is preparing him for the coming greatness.

   Friend, whatever anybody think he/she is doing against you, all shall work together for your good (Romans 8:28). It was in the prison that Joseph learnt management procedure. This was because he releases himself for service. Friend, release yourself for service wherever you may be and God will prepare you for greatness. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me a humble heart to serve for my greatness.

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.
