DISTANCING FROM THE SCRIPTURES

DISTANCING FROM THE SCRIPTURES Deuteronomy 8:1-11 Devotional:- “To teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD” (v.3) NIV      The word of God is the bank of our strength in God. The word of God is the strength of God (John 1:1-3; Hebrews 4:12). Through the word, God had done all He had done. God’s word says, without Him, nothing else was created (John 1:3). When a man, therefore, distances himself from the Word of God, such is distancing himself from his source, He will lack the strength of God.

THE LORD 

1 Peter 3:1-6
Dev: “as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.”  (vs. 6)

     Most believers are not truly aware that they have not consider the implication of having a Lord. So many people think Jesus is their Lord and it is not so. They think Jesus is their Lord because they attend a church or because they bear Christian names or because they are born into a Christian family or because they have church titles. But none of these make people to have Jesus as their Lord. Some think because they confess Jesus as their Lord when they first believe or because they always sing it as songs. But none of these are true. That is why Jesus said it's not all who call or see me as their Lord that will inherit my father’s kingdom (Matt 7:21-23) 

For Jesus to be your Lord you must consciously make this decision from the heart (Rom 10:8-10). This is because a lord is someone that has total control over every aspect of your life. A Lord is someone you must not disobey. He approves and disapproves all your decisions (Proverbs 3:5-6) A lord is someone you have sold yourself to as a slave and you have made him your master, and you are to always submitting to him (Matthew 10:25, Luke 5:5, John 13:16)

     It is important you ask yourself if Jesus is your Lord. If Jesus is not a lord over a soul then that person has another lord it is the devil (John 8:44). There are only two lords, Jesus and the devil. Friend it's time to make up your mind who will be the Lord of your soul (Rom 6:16) Just like Sarah chose Abraham as her lord, chose Jesus as your Lord. Peace.

Prayer: Lord help me to truly choose you as my Lord.

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.

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.
