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).

PURPOSE OF DISCIPLESHIP

PURPOSE OF DISCIPLESHIP      

Luke 14: 25-27
Devotional:-"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” (v.26) NKJV

      Discipleship is an important aspect of our Christian life, without which we cannot really call anyone a child of God. That is why, we need to understand the purpose of discipleship. Today, so many people who come to church can also be found in beer parlors and harlot houses. This is because they were not discipled for Christ. 

     When Jesus began His ministry, the first set of people He was out to get were people that will be His disciples (Mark 3:14) It was the twelve, the seventy and the one hundred and twenty that stood for Him when He ascended to heaven. It is Christ’s disciples that are labouring to share the gospel all over the world today. 
 
    Jesus raised disciples that men and God can be truly connected in love (Luke 14: 26). He raised His disciples so that man can represent God on the earth (John 20:21). If there is no discipleship, there will be no spiritual maturity. It is discipleship that makes man love God not withstanding their challenges. It is discipleship that makes us endure in patience till our miracles come (2 Timothy 2:3). It is discipleship that make us learn from Christ and look like Him (Matthew 10:25). The weaknesses in the church today are basically because we have stopped making disciples. It is therefore, important that you commit yourself to growing like Jesus to become His disciple. Take this responsibility for Christ and you will be like Him indeed. Peace.
 
Prayer: Lord, make me a true disciple of Christ.
 
"A MAN IS EITHER A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST OR OF MAN"

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.
