TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...

MEDITATION                

Psalms 119:97-104
Devotional:- “I have more understanding than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation” (V. 99) NKJV


   God has made us a being that can meditate. The challenge is that we meditate over different things. Some people meditate over problems but few meditate over solution. Meditation is like squeezing the Spirit of a matter into your spirit. Any matter you are meditating on will deposit its spirit in you. That way, you will contact the energy of the spirit to act accordingly (Joshua 1:8)
 
   There is a spirit of understanding (Isaiah 11:2). It is an arm of the Holy Spirit. People without understanding will struggle through life (Proverbs 21:16). This Spirit is one of the evidences of the energy of God at work in you for great achievements. This Spirit comes as we meditate on the word of God and ask for it in prayer. Stop meditating over your problems; it will multiply the spirit of troubles.
 
   Delight or love the word of God (Psalms 1:1-3). That is not religion. It is fellowshipping with Jesus who is the word of God (John 1:1). Don't play down on the word of God again. You don't need to study big volume per time (Joshua 1:8). Every time you are faced with a challenge, search out how God solved it for someone in the Bible. Then sit with that word and it will give you the energy for solution. Peace.
 
PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to always meditate on your word.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
