DISTANCING FROM THE SCRIPTURES

DISTANCING FROM THE SCRIPTURES Deuteronomy 8:1-11 Devotional:- “To teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD” (v.3) NIV      The word of God is the bank of our strength in God. The word of God is the strength of God (John 1:1-3; Hebrews 4:12). Through the word, God had done all He had done. God’s word says, without Him, nothing else was created (John 1:3). When a man, therefore, distances himself from the Word of God, such is distancing himself from his source, He will lack the strength of God.

HEARING THE WORD

HEARING THE WORD       

Act 10:34-46
Devotional: - “While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word” (V. 44) NKJV



    The Spirit and the Power of God transmit to people when they hear the word of God. Just like meditation over the written word to drink the spirit and the power in the word, so also is hearing the word. When anyone is filled with the Spirit of God and speaks by the spirit, the power of God will be transmitted to all who open their heart to hear the word (Act 10:44).

    The Bible says, as the people of God were hearing the word of God, the Holy Spirit came upon the entire hearer. This is because the Spirit of the word penetrates to the heart of the people and they could not hold themselves together. This makes them to respond to the word they heard and they were speaking with other tongue. Whenever you hear the word of God from a Spirit filled man or woman, you can always contact the Power of God (Psalms 107:20).

    Friend, you need to be more open anytime you are hearing the word of God. The Holy Spirit will always help you to identify a Spirit filled person. Give your quality attention to hearing the word of God. It is when we hear the word that the Spirit of faith is built into us (Romans 10:17). It is by it courage to succeed is built into us (Joshua 1:8) and we will be able to overcome. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, give me a listening heart to receive your word

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.
