WALL OF FIRE Zachariah 2:1-5  “For I,' says the LORD, 'will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst” (V.5) NKJV      One of the troubles that brings fear into the hearts of people today is insecurity. Most people in this part of the world always feel insecure. And when you look at the situations and experiences that surround us, they often want to make us feel insecure. This causes many to live their lives in fear in the day and at night.

BE STRONG

BE STRONG    

Ephesians 6:10-13
Devotional:- “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might” (v. 10) NKJV

   Victory in this world is not given just to the aged; it is given to the strong. Part of the New Testament covenant of God for believers is victory (1 john 5:4). But it is important that believers realised that strength is not what we acquire because we like it or not. It is a commandment of the Lord. God’s word says “Be strong in the Lord”, that is not a suggestion or an advice, it is a commandment.

It therefore means to choose weakness as a Christian is choice of disobedience to the Lord. Most of us have various genuine excuses why we don’t want to be strong in the Lord. This varies from office and business engagement to lack of time to grow in the Lord. But it is important that you realise that those excuses will not be tenable when battle of life rises.

Our scripture today shows us that we need to put on the whole armour of God, not some. These armors are itemised in the scripture we read today. Take time out to study each of them till you grow in them all. Some Christian only wants to grow their prayer life and not their word life; others want to grow business life and not their faith life. The entire syllabus is compulsory if you must win. Grow in them one after the other and your victory will be inevitable. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, teach me the way of your strength.

“No one thing gives birth to strength, it takes the whole”

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.

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.
