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).

MEN'S FACTOR

MEN'S FACTOR 

2 Peter 1: 5-11
Devotional:-“But also, for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge” (v.5) NKJV


    Though God through the Holy spirit is the one that strengthens us to grow, yet we have part to play. We must be careful of thinking it is God that will do all things for us. It is true that God has a part to play in our growth, but we also have a part (Psalm 127:1-5).

The scripture said we must be diligence to add up knowledge in God. We are to seek knowledge. We are to diligently labour and disallow anything from disturbing our quiet time. It is the Holy spirit that releases the urge and grace but we are to diligently follow His ways. Until we diligently play our part, we may not see growth. 

God's word instructs us to add to our faith, godly character. This means, we are to cooperate with the Holy spirit to yield to His instruction for our change to godly character. We must build up spiritual understanding through knowledge of God (Psalm 119:130). This will demand that we are ready to take responsibility to seek and to have the light of the word of God as we daily meditate in the word of God (Joshua 1:28). And we shall be growing. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, I need your grace to be available for you at the appointed time. 

"WHEN YOU PLAY YOUR PART, GOD WILL PLAY HIS"

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.
