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).

GROWING THE NATURE OF GOD.

GROWING THE NATURE OF GOD. 

Romans 8:5-13
Devotional:- “For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live” (V. 13)

    It should be clear to all believers in Christ that what is not growing is dying. Just as righteousness is the nature of God, if anyone is not growing the nature of God such will be unconsciously growing the carnal nature (Romans 8:5-8). That is why the Bible says to be carnally minded is dead. This death is not extinguishing but separation from God. Death in the Hebrew language means separation. It is therefore the responsibility of each Christian to grow the nature of God in their life. 

To be able to grow the nature of God in us demands three things. It demands that we daily fellowship with God in studying His word, in worship and prayers. It demands that we keep mortifying i.e. put to death the carnal nature in us. Thirdly, it demands that we put on the mindset of the nature of God (Romans 8:4-6). 

Friends, to have the mindset of righteousness demands that we daily fellowship with God (Genesis 17:1). If anyone one does not create time daily to fellowship with Jesus, he/she cannot be a Christian (Matthew 7:21). The reason there are wicked people in Church today who will not forgive nor love, haters and slanderers, is that many are not committed to growing the nature of God (Jeremiah 5:26). If you will reign with Christ in eternity, wake up. It is the nature of God in you that makes you a child of God and not title. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, help me to start to grow your nature in me

“UNTIL YOU HAVE THE NATURE OF GOD YOU CAN NOT BEHAVE LIKE GOD”

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.
