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).

YOUR OFFICE

YOUR OFFICE

Ephesians 6:6-9
Devotional: "with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men,” (V. 7)


   Remember the purpose of your working is that God might be glorified (Matthew 5:16). That is why your work must be good enough for the glory of God. Every kingdom citizen should be mindful of this. Our work in the office must not bring shame and dishonour to the Lord. Thank God for the salary, but your purpose in that office is far bigger than that.

The scripture we read today is very instructive on how we should work in our offices. Firstly, is that our work should be unto the Lord. That is, we are representative of God in that organization and it is on to the Lord we should be responsible. That is why we must submit to men in the fear of God (Ephesians 5:21, Colossians 3:22).That is why your take home pay must be more than salary.

Secondly, we are instructed to serve not with eye service but a heart service. That is, doing our services with all enthusiasm. Putting our best into the work to provoke the blessings of God on the work and our lives like Jacob in the house of Laban (Genesis 30:30). Working with our mind and taking initiative for innovation. Not allowing discouragement but serving with joy. Hereby creating the atmosphere for the presence of God in that organization. Interceding for her progress by the Spirit of unity in the office. Then, heaven cannot fail to reward us. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, make me a pace setter in my office for your glory.

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.
