  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...

WAITING ON GOD

WAITING ON GOD

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 40:25-31
Devotional:- “But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint” (v. 31) NKJV


   Another factor of strength in God is to always wait on God. To wait on God is to acknowledge or always refer to Him for direction in all your ways (Proverbs 3:5-6). This is an act of allowing Him to lead you in all you are doing. This is because we know that He will not lead us into trouble (Isaiah 48:17-18). To wait on Him, as a waiter, is to allow Him to direct our ways (John 8:28; John 5:30).

The word of God tells us that God gives strength to those who are weak. That means that if you are weak in any area of your life today, that does not qualify you for failure. God is able to give you strength. The word of God informed us of how to tap into the strength of God when ours is exhausted. This is by waiting on the Lord.

It is therefore important for us to know that the spirit of the mighty God is in us. But we must cultivate the habit of asking Him for direction always. He has promised to always lead us to our victory (Psalms 32:8). To depend only on your mind in all situations may not always be work. Your strength is restored anytime He gives you instructions. This is because His words are powerful and it releases powerful energy of the Spirit to your soul whenever it is released (Ezekiel 2:2; Hebrews 4:12). To overcome in any situation we need to ask Him for what to do and you shall receive an answer that will strengthen you to overcome (Psalm 119:07-100). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to always acknowledge you

“ANYTIME HIS WORD COMES, STRENGTH IS PRODUCED”

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.
