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).

WAITING ON THE LORD

WAITING ON THE LORD

Isaiah 40:25-31
Devotional:- “But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint”  V 31


     A life style of waiting on the Lord, is a life style of the mature people in the Lord. It can only become your life style if you choose to live by waiting on Him in all situation. It is only those who cultivate the lifestyle of waiting on the Lord by choice that can enjoy regular divine direction. This is not a choice for people who feel following God is a burden. 

In the Scripture we read today, the Bible talks about how God give strength to His own people. Strength here talks about unstoppable ability. It is about prevailing and victorious grace. These are the people that can fulfill their dreams notwithstanding the resistance and the devices of the devil. Waiting on the Lord is not once a while thing, but a life style.

To wait on the Lord, is to always acknowledge him in every situation. (Proverbs 3:5-6). To acknowledge Him is to wait on Him for direction like a waiter waits on you for selection of food in a restaurant. You must choose to live your life by His direction (Psalms 37:23). God want to influence our decisions by the Holy Spirit in us. This is the reason the Holy Spirit dwells in us. But we must choose to always acknowledge and obey Him. Then, you will be able to walk in His ways. Peace

Prayer: Lord, help me to always wait on you.

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.
