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).

TRIAL TIMES

TRIAL TIMES

James 1:12-20
Dev:- “So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath” (V. 19)


    There is a need to learn from the word of God what to do to manage the trial times. God expect us to use our trial times to grow and overcome but not to be a victim. If you will come out victoriously after a trail times then let us learn the wisdom thought in the word of God. 

The first is to realize that victory over trial brings us into promotion of strength, wisdom and grace. That is why we must not give in (James 1:12). The second is that we realize that God is not the source of most of the trial times in our lives. Trial times are always a product of our weaknesses. This will help us admit our weaknesses and repent before the Lord (James 1:13-15). 

In trial times we must learn to be more teachable to gain strength. Not boasting to know but slow to give judgments (Proverbs 14:27, Proverbs 16:32, Ecclesiastic 7:9). This is when to return to obey the Lord (Hosea 6:1). And we shall be restored. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, give me grace to use trial times for my promotions

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.
