NEW THING

NEW  THING Isaiah 43:18-21  Devotional:- “For I'm going to do a brand-new thing. See, I have already begun! Don't you see it? I will make a road through the wilderness of the world for my people to go home, and create rivers for them in the desert!? (V.19) TLB      Sometimes we make the mistake of basing our faith not on the word of God but upon our experiences. Many of us do not know that faith will always be weak in us when we allow it to attend the school of experience. That is, we weigh it or compare it with what we’ve gone through in the past. Then it becomes doubt. I know you might have gone through all kinds of experiences in the past years. You have prayed, and nothing happened. You have waited only to see nothing. Yet you will need to believe God afresh for a new experience in this year.

ACTION

ACTION

Read: James 2: 14 -24 
Devotional:- “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead” (V.17) 


    Faith and action are inseparable. Wherever there is faith there will also be action. The truth is that faith has its evidence in action just as wisdom is evident in physical manifestation. When a man is not taking action it is because he has no faith. At the point of faith everyone will be ready for action, for it is the action that delivers every products of faith. 

 In the scripture we read today, God’s word confirmed to us that faith without work is dead. The word ‘work’ here is referring to action. The summary of this scripture is faith without action is not going to perform. If we truly believe that God is our source; if we believe that He is our sure help, then the evidence shall be in our readiness to do well to others even in our unpleasant situations. 

This is because we know that our help shall surely come and we shall surely come to praise Him. Step out to obey the Lord. Step into that vision having receive His instruction. Start with the little. Step out to serve the Lord, to give in God’s house as God impresses on your heart. This does not reduce you. Be a blessing to the poor. Wear your new dress and be free from fear of not having a better one and God will keep surprising you. 

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me to be out for you. 

“UNTIL YOU STEP OUT OF THE OLD, YOU MAY NOT STEP INTO THE NEW”

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.

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.
