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 HOLY SPIRIT

THE HOLY SPIRIT

1 John 5:6-13
Devotional:- “For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one” (V. 7)

    The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God released into man by the Father through the Son to make God’s life out of man (John 14:16). He is not just one of the spirits around but the third person of the God head. God is triune in nature and He made man to be triune in nature too. At different dispensation God has made Himself known to man in three different dimensions, yet, the three always work together.

In the Old Testament, it was God the Father Himself that was manifested to Moses. Sometimes through the ministry of angel (Exodus 3:4-6). In the New Testament books of the gospel, God manifested Himself as the Son (Hebrews 1:1-2). But from the Acts of the Apostles, He manifested Himself as the Holy Spirit.

You therefore need to know that you cannot claim to know God when the Spirit of God is not at work in you (Romans 8:9-14). Many are deceived by the devil, thinking that they are Christians because they go to church (Matthew 7:21-23). You need to seek to have quality relationship with the Holy Spirit, so that you will not miss God eternally. Peace

PRAYER: Holy Spirit, help me to know you afresh.

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.
