STRENGTH IN GOD

STRENGTH IN GOD 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 Devotional:- “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” (V4) NKJV      Many Christians today have so much confusion about their strength in God. It has made the church think that a few limited people can demonstrate the strength of God. So, multitudes are weak in strength. Though they come to church, yet in times of challenges, you see them rushing to another Christian whom they know to be stronger in God. Neglecting the fact that a New Testament believer is a potential priest and king for Christ (Revelation 5:10; Mark 16:17).

STANDING ON

STANDING ON 

Read: Acts 27:13 -25 
Devotional:- “And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.” (V.22)


    Faith is standing upon the word of God. This is basing your calmness and confidence upon what God said. You will know a man of faith by his measure of calmness and peace irrespective of challenging situations he faces. He will not be moved by anything that is happening. Why? He has heard God and that He is enough for him. He is not fearful but calm-full. In other word within him he has overcome the war without. 

In the scripture we read today is a terrible situation that confronted Paul the apostle and all that were with him in the ship. There was a great storm that had been on for days and weeks. They have faced so much loss of property, wealth and even confidence. But among them was Paul, he was not joining them to panic and expect death. He was standing on the word of God, so he had peace. Because he had heard from God, he concluded, “There shall be no loss of life” (Act 27:21-23).

Have you ever heard God speak to you about your situation, either through your pastor’s message or your bible? Friend, that is enough to deliver you (John 8:32). Stand upon this word of God and give up your struggles. God is up to His word (Psalm 119:89). He will not say what he is not able to do but you can allow or disallow him by the state of your heart. Stop that fear; tell yourself if he has said it, He is up to it. Take your peace and see the salvation of the Lord. There shall be no loss. 

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always stand on your word. 

“WHEN GOD SPEAKS AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT HE SAYS, THEN YOU CAN'T DOUBT HIS WORD"
