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).

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.

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.
