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.

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"

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.
