FLOATING AXE Devotional:- 2 Kings 6:1-7 “So the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float’’ (V.6) NKJV  Sometimes when we read about some great wonders of God in the Bible, something makes us feel it was because the people were very special. But we need to know that they are men of like passion (James 5:17-18). They were just exactly like we are, but they were only men of faith. This makes God to work wonders through them. The sons of the prophet needed a big place of dwelling. So they decide to cut trees to make a new home. Thank God they requested that Elisha should go with them. As they were cutting the trees, the axe head fell into the deep river. And the man of God asked the Holy Spirit for what to do. The Holy Spirit was what they also depended upon, and there was a miracle. Friend, you also have the Holy Spirit. That stick is the word of God. Speak to the sinking situatio...

STRENGTH DRAINER

STRENGTH DRAINER 

Hebrews 12:1-6 
Devotional:- “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,” Vs 1


    It is important that we recognize the things that drain our strength and chooses never to live our life with them. There are so many of such things that we do not bother to recognize that actually constitute barriers. Though small, but if not destroyed could become mountains. These are anxieties, discouragement, frustration, self-condemnation, lack of self-esteem, heaviness of the heart and guilt. Some are sins to oneself, others are sins to God.

Our scripture today teaches us that they can constitute weight on us that we may not be able to run the way we are supposed to. They can distract our mind and they can ensnare us. It is therefore wisdom that you choose to lay them aside and run to fulfill your destiny. These strength drainers are actually lies of the devil that looks true, so as to steal our strength. That is why the Bible says, the joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10).

To lay them aside, you must learn to refuse to listen to the sermon of the enemy on your past errors. Confess those sins to God and believe in His faithfulness to forgive (1 John 1:7-9).Refuse to retain the memories of such events. Pick lessons from them and discard them. Any time the enemy brings the memory to your mind check it out by the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 9:13-14). Keep looking unto the faithfulness of Jesus Christ who is able to perfect your success in glory. Please despite those strength, weakening of memories and you will have peace for progress 

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from the strength drainers of life.

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.

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.
