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).

DILIGENCE

DILIGENCE 

Proverbs 12:16-28
Devotional: “The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy man will be put to forced labor.” (V. 24)


    To be lazy at work is a crime. This is because your work is your purpose of creation. Your work or business is a service to the Lord. Your work is your contribution to your world. Your work is the value of your life. Can you imagine how much a lazy man stand to lose?

 The scripture we read today says, a diligent man will rule. In other words, a diligent man will be distinct, he will be recognized by God for what he does and he will be qualified for promotion (Genesis 39:4, Luke 16:10-12). A diligent man will be favored. He will be recommended for his work and he will be dependable and appreciated. But laziness put a man under a forced labour.

People become lazy when they find out that their expectations from a work or business is not coming. But a diligent man has a right motive. He is not looking at what man will say or not. He is working for the Lord and that is his rewarder. To be diligent is to put in the best in your work to get the best result. It is to put in to the work more than normal. Surely, such will be promoted by the Lord and will soon be leader of others.

PRAYER: Lord, put a diligent Spirit in me.

“AVOIDING YOUR WORK IS AVOIDING PROMOTION “

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.
