STAND IN

  STAND IN 1 Timothy 2:1-7  Devotional:- “Here are my directions: Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all he is going to do for them.” (v.1) TLB . When God lifts a man, such a man must have enjoyed the intercessory ministry of others. It is part of the principle of God for us to receive (Matthew 7:7). This is because He does not want to break into our free will and damage our choice. He does not want to break into our decision. That is why we say it sometimes when an event happens, "Did God not see it?” Until He is asked to do something, He finds it difficult to do it. Rather, if He wants to promote a man and the man is not aware, He will touch other people to pray for him.  That is why you and I must also be willing to pray and stand in the gap for others. Paul was instructing Timothy and all of us as members of the body of Christ to pray for others. There are so many people around you who need one thing or another. Even though you ca...

TRICKS​​​​

Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 2:3-11
Devotional:- “lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices” (v. 11) NKJV

    Some people always think they can handle the devil without God. I always tell people not to try it. He is far wiser. Your strength for victory is mainly in God. (Philippians 4:13). A major reason we should have nothing to do with him is that he operates with tricks and gimmicks. The devil always tries to come into issues in a subtle way. It was through this he was able to get Eve

Please, understand that you are made and wired to focus and concentrate before you can achieve anything. In the course of focusing, the devil is looking for how to subtly come in to let you slip out of the will of God. The appeal of Potiphar’s wife came as an executive and high status pleasure of sin. But Joseph knew it was the devil and he flee (Genesis 39:6-15). The devil didn’t come through co-staff but through the Chief Executive Officer. Some other people would have felt, you see, she is my director and there is nothing I can do. But Joseph understood the tricks of the devil and he flee.

Friend, watch out for those little carelessness. The devil can always use it to steal, kill or destroy. Don't use long spoon for the devil (1 Timothy 6:11). Then you will keep your strength in God. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, make me to be wiser than the tricks of the devil.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.

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.
