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.

DISCOURAGEMENT

DISCOURAGEMENT ​​​

Scripture Readings: 1 Samuel 30:1-8
Devotional:- “Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters.But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God” (v. 6) NKJV

    The strength of every child of God is in courage of faith. That is why God told Joshua to be strong and courageous (Joshua 1:6). The opposite of courage is discouragement. The devil having known that your strength for victory and progress is in courage will always want to discourage you.

Sometimes, when we are discouraged, it looks like that is the right thing to do at that moment. But it is not true in any way. Whenever you are getting discouraged, it is the trick is of the enemy to destroy your strength. When David and his people got back to Ziklag, they were discouraged by what they saw. Thank God, one them encouraged himself to take the right step (1 Samuel 30:6).

Friend, whatever reasons you are getting discouraged; it is the trick of the enemy to destroy your strength. Even when you don't find anyone to encourage you, please encourage yourself. When there is life, there is hope. Do you know that the followers of David was about to stone him? Thank God he encouraged himself. Friend, don't allow the devil to destroy your strength in God. Brace up, God's love for you is unshakable. His plans concerning you cannot fail. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to pick back my courage in you.

“CELEBRATE HIS PROMISES AND YOU WILL PICK BACK YOUR COURAGE”

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.
