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).

KEEPING YOUR GARMENT

KEEPING YOUR GARMENT

Scripture Reading: Matthew 22:1-14
Devotional:- “So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless” (V12)

    It is important that you know that the righteousness of God given to us as a gift through Jesus must be kept clean to the end. Yes, this garment of righteousness is given to us through our faith in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:8-9), yet, it is the responsibility of each of us to maintain it that we might reign with Christ when He returns (Rev.3:4, Rev. 19:8)

Though, the garment of the righteousness of God has been given to us at Salvation, yet, it can be lost (Romans 6:1). So you must keep it clean. To keep the righteousness, you must choose to keep obeying the word of God (Psalm 119:9). Daniel and his friend in Babylon decided not to defile themselves with the food dedicated to idols (Daniel 1:8). So, you and I must constantly make choices of obeying the word of God in this pervert world (Matthew 7:21-23).

Friend, our Salvation and righteousness is paid for, but it can be lost if not maintained with obedience to the word of God (Isaiah 1:20). It is obedience to God that grows the nature of God in us. Remember, whatever is not growing is dying. If you will keep growing the nature of God which is righteousness, you must deliberately choose to walk daily with God (Genesis 17:1). That is why no one can call himself a Christian before God if he is not studying the word of God. It is knowledge that empowers us to act in accordance to the word of God (Joshua 1:8, Psalm 119:9, 11; Proverbs 24:5) Give yourself to studying the word of God (Joshua 1:8). Create a heart of love for the word till it becomes your life style (Psalm 119:97). Then you will find grace to keep obeying the word (John 14:15). You will not lose your garment in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to love your word and be a doer of it

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.
