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).

CLOSE RELATIONSHIP

Scripture Reading: Luke 5: 12-16
Devotional: “So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed” (v. 16) NKJV


    For anyone to gain strength in God, such must choose to have close relationship with God. Some people always want to withdraw from the presence of God. They feel it will make them to be over spiritual and no more social. But the truth is that they cannot be strong in the Lord. Yes, they will be socially relevant and even have some money. But in the days of challenges, they will not be able to stand (Proverbs 24:10).

It is said about Jesus that He often withdrew into the wilderness to pray. It was not that He does not want to have time of fun and enjoy himself. But there is time for everything. This one must be given a priority. If not, He will not be able to manifest the power of God or fulfill His destiny. 

Friend, if you will be strong in the Lord, you need a close and continued relationship with God (Psalms 119:164; Mark 1:35). That is the price of strength in God (Proverbs 13:20). Always traveling on Sunday morning, busy during prayer time or no personal time with God will make anyone a weak prey of the devil. Arise and be strong. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to give up worldliness to be strong in you.

“YOU CANNOT BE STRONG IN THE WAY OF THE WORLD AND BE STRONG IN GOD”

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.
