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.

RICHES IN THIS KINGDOM

RICHES IN THIS KINGDOM        

Read: Mark 10:23-27
Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!” (Vs. 23)

    One of the things people have so much concern about is their riches. These are the valuable resources they have gathered over time. Everyone wants to jealously keep his/her valuables. Because of our approach to laboring hard to gather these valuables, we tend to turn them to gods.
     When Jesus told the disciples of how difficult it will be for the rich in this world to enter into the kingdom of God, they were astonished. They asked Him about who could be saved? Jesus explained in verse 24 that those who put their trust in their valuables would not be able to live in God’s kingdom. If care is not taken, almost everyone who is supposed to be chasing the Kingdom of God would find themselves racing to gather wealth. This is because they think that with it (wealth) they are secured. God is the true security (Psalm 127:1-2). 
     A genuine child of God must not trust in his/her riches (1 Timothy 6:17-19). Abraham, the father of faith was willing to let go of his only son. Is there anything you cannot let go for God? God wants to bless you with many things. Don’t ever let fear or greed stop your coming blessings. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, make me above any material blessing in this world.
 
“WHATEVER YOU CAN’T GIVE IS BIGGER THAN YOU AND IS YOUR god”
