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.

HEAVENLY FOCUS

HEAVENLY FOCUS

Colossians 3:1-11
Devotional:- “Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth” (V. 2


    It is important that all children of God should set their mind on things above. The Holy Spirit is from heaven (Acts 2:1-4). Jesus Christ our redeemer came from above (John 8:23). That is why our focus should be heaven. If our focus is heaven, then all we are doing should be of eternal value. The word of God says, where your treasure is, that is where your heart shall be (Matthew 6:21)

The scripture we read today encourages us to set our mind on things above. Which means we should be heaven focused. In everything we are laying our hands upon, we should consider the eternal value; the eternal implication and the eternal reward. We should be careful not to just do things for doing sake, so that we can prepare for our eternity in all our ways. 

Friends, know that the things of this world are passing away soon (1 John 2:17). You and I should not pass with the world. Let us be mindful of where we go, what we do and what we give ourselves to. We should be expecting the coming of the Lord always. This should make us to live ready for His coming. You will not miss your flight in Jesus name. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, fill my heart with the glory of heaven 

“WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE YOUR HEART WILL BE”

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.
