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.

MOSES CHOICE

MOSES CHOICE     

Hebrews 11:23-29 
Devotional:-“choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,” (Vs. 25)

    Moses, though an Israelite became the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He lives in Pharaoh’s palace and enjoy all the riches and treasures of Egypt. When he grew up and realize he is in the wrong place, he choose to leave the palace and choose to identify with his people, the Israelites. He chooses to suffer affliction with them, enduring the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure in the land of Egypt.

 This was a sacrificial choice but it was a godly one. A choice that made him greater than any one that was ever born in the house of Pharaoh eternally. This choice made Moses the greatest prophet in the history of man.

Beloved there is a need to always examine your position, it may look good and enjoyable but it may be displeasing to the Lord. Blessed is the man who does not stay in the company of the ungodly (Psalm 1:1-3). The enjoyable position some people are today is actually going to cost the glorious position God has for their lives. No matter how much pleasure you found in that friendship, you know that God expect you to only be in the company of believers. Choose rather to be with the company of children of God, even if it’s going to cost you some pleasure or benefit. And your glorious future will be secured in God.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always love you more than the earthly riches 

“ONLY THOSE WHO SUFFER WITH CHRIST WILL REIGN WITH HIM”

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.
