DISTANCING FROM THE SCRIPTURES

DISTANCING FROM THE SCRIPTURES Deuteronomy 8:1-11 Devotional:- “To teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD” (v.3) NIV      The word of God is the bank of our strength in God. The word of God is the strength of God (John 1:1-3; Hebrews 4:12). Through the word, God had done all He had done. God’s word says, without Him, nothing else was created (John 1:3). When a man, therefore, distances himself from the Word of God, such is distancing himself from his source, He will lack the strength of God.

DON’T LOVE MONEY

Scripture Reading: 1 Timothy 6:3-10
Devotional:- “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows” (V. 10) NKJV


    As much as money is important as a means of exchange in the world, as much as we should not cast our love on it. To love money will make a man turn evil. That is why it is important to define what it means to love money. 
Money is so important. God expect us to have dominion over the spirit of money (Genesis 1:28). That is why we should not turn money to an idol or turn our love on it (Matthew 6:24). Building up to be able to acquire is organizing to have dominion over it. This is labouring towards financial freedom. It makes you have the power of choice and able to live as you desire. It helps you to experience open doors. It connects you to people that matters (Proverbs 14:20). Yer God has given us the privilege to control it that it might be used for His glory (Isaiah 42:21; 1 Peter 2:9). When a man's motive is not unto the glory of God, the devil will help him to create ungodly ambition. That is why some sponsor killings.

Friend, understand that this world is not yours. The owner made it for a purpose. These purposes are centered around using what He has given us for His glory, to bless others around us and to take care of yourself. Don't abandon the house of the Lord because of work or business. You will be building a future of emptiness. The very purpose of money for a wise man is to honour God and affect others for His glory (Proverbs 3:9). Our motive should be to use it for the right purposes. Anything out of that will be a trap (Luke 12:15-21). You will not be trapped in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me not be trapped by money.

“YOUR MOTIVE IS THE EVIDENCE OF THE FOCUS OF YOUR LOVE”

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.
