FLOATING AXE Devotional:- 2 Kings 6:1-7 “So the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float’’ (V.6) NKJV  Sometimes when we read about some great wonders of God in the Bible, something makes us feel it was because the people were very special. But we need to know that they are men of like passion (James 5:17-18). They were just exactly like we are, but they were only men of faith. This makes God to work wonders through them. The sons of the prophet needed a big place of dwelling. So they decide to cut trees to make a new home. Thank God they requested that Elisha should go with them. As they were cutting the trees, the axe head fell into the deep river. And the man of God asked the Holy Spirit for what to do. The Holy Spirit was what they also depended upon, and there was a miracle. Friend, you also have the Holy Spirit. That stick is the word of God. Speak to the sinking situatio...

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
