And the Bible says he died being old and full of days. (Job 42:17). Even though he went through tribulations, he did not die in them. Wisdom kept him alive until he inherited long life. Generally, it is not in the plan of God that anyone die early. That is the reason the Word of God promise us long life (Psalm 91:16). One of the blessings of wisdom is long life. It is therefore important that one keep walking in wisdom to be able to enjoy the grace of long life (Prover...

STRENGTH IN YOUR WEAKNESSES

2 Corinthians 13:1-6
Devotional “For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you. (V.4)


    Everyone has weakness in all spheres of life. In fact, each of us has a bundle of flaws and imperfection physically and spiritually. What matter most is what we do with them. Normally, we often want to deny, defend, hide, resent and give excuses about them. But that way God will not be able to use them for our benefit (Proverb 28:13). God do not want to use only our strength but also our meanness for His Glory (1 Corinthians 1:27). Realize God want to bless the weak (Matthew 5:3) Note that it is the first thing God bless.

When we think of the limitations in our lives, we may be tempted to conclude “God cannot use people like me” But God is not limited by our limitations. Sincerely, He enjoys putting His great power into ordinary vessels. For God to use you, notwithstanding, you need to sincerely admit your weaknesses. Stop pretending and be honest about yourself. God is going to use you when you know who God is and know who you are.

For God to use you notwithstanding, you must be relaxed with your weaknesses. Don't be troubled about them (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). That will make you depend on God; that will also prevent arrogance (2 Corinthians 12:7). It will serve as instrument of check and balance for you in life. It will let you see a need for fellowship with other believers. Your weaknesses will help you sympathies with others (Hebrews 4:15) For God to use your weaknesses, you must honestly share your failure (Romans 7:19), your feelings (1 Corinthians 16:11), your frustrations (2 Corinthians 1:8) and your fears (2 Corinthians 12:5) with mature believers who can encourage you. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be sincere with myself 

“YOUR LAUGHTER AT OTHERS WEAKNESSES IS A SIGN OF YOUR OWN WEAKNESSES”

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.

  DOMINION   Psalms 8:1-9 Devotional:- “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV      At creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6; Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God (Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to be in charge of all creation.
