  STRENGTH Nehemiah 8:4-12 Devotional:- “Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength”” (v. 10) NKJV As emotional beings, it is important that we come to the understanding that when we are in joy, our strength will be doubled. is joy that promotes both mental and physical strength. No matter how physically strong a man is, when he is in sorrow, he is weak; he can be defeated. Sorrow decomposes the cells in our muscles from being able to function together. When God’s people were given the grace to rebuild the falling wall of Jerusalem, they all came together in the strength of the Lord to build. During this time, the law of the Lord was brought and was read to them, and they now discovered what brought their ruin. This caused so much sorrow, and the people began to weep. But Nehemiah, a man of understanding who knew...

DISOBEDIENCE

DISOBEDIENCE 

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 1:11-20
Devotional: - But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword"; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken” (v. 20) NKJV


    One of the factors that can destroy the strength of anyone is disobedience to God. The reason why people easily disobey God is because they can not understand the ways of God. Such only depend on the physical to determine their actions. But the way of God is not mostly physical.

This is the reason the children of God need to know their God. He is not a physical God. You cannot understand the way of God by listening to the argument of your unbelieving friends. He cannot be revealed to you in your quest for Ph.D. You cannot calculate God in your brain. He cannot be found in the way of argument. His word reveals Him and His spirit helps us to understand Him.

A natural man will always see the ways of God unreasonable, so, he will always disobey the Lord (1Samuel 15:22-23). What you don't understand, you cannot jump into it any how. This is the reason people disobey the Lord. Disobedience will always remove the strength of God from the life of anyone. You cannot see the forces of God with your physical eye. That is why you must learn to obey God by faith (Romans 1:17). Only wise people obey God (Matthew 7:24). Choose the way of obedience to God and you will keep winning (Leviticus 26:6-8). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace of continuous obedience.

“ONLY OBEDIENCE CAN EMPLOY THE STRENGTH OF THE SUPERNATURAL”

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.
