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).

GRIEVE NOT

GRIEVE NOT

Ephesians 4:25-32
Devotional:- “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption” (v. 30) 

    Every believer need to take this precaution regularly not to grieve the Holy Spirit. We should always fear the Lord (Proverbs 1:7). We should realize that we are highly privilege to have the Holy Spirit dwell in us (2 Corinthians 4:7). Holy Spirit can only dwell in us because we have dedicated our lives to God. Now that He dwells in us, we have become the temple of God (1 Corinthians 3:16-17). Remember God is a jealous God.

To grieve the Holy Spirit is to disobey His order repeatedly. It is to frankly look down on His way and wisdom. It is to honour the way of men and of the word and disrespect the way of God. These and more are what we do to grieve the Holy Spirit.

When a man grieves the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will be inactive in the man. The Holy Spirit will no longer be part of his decisions anymore. This is what happens when we observe we are weak in the spirit or we are not flowing in the spirit (Psalms 51:10-12). When you observe this, please cry to God for mercy and restoration. He will have mercy on you when you repent. And there shall be restoration. Peace!

PRAYER: Holy Spirit, restore my relationship with you today

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.
