A REWARDER

A REWARDER   Hebrews 11:4-7. Devotional:- "For he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder, of those who diligently seek Him” (V.6)      Everyone involved in any kind of labor expects a reward. What motivates people into service or pursuit of life is the reward attached to it. It is embarrassing to see that most people labor for no reward, or rather their rewards don't often measure up to their service or input. This is the reason for frustration in the lives of many in the world today.

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”

YOUR CLAIM

YOUR CLAIM Scripture Reading: Isaiah 1:16-20 Devotional:- "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the Lord, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool” (V. 18) NKJV      All God’s children have the right to the covenant provision of God (Galatians 3:13-14). The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ has purchased for us a right in God. God’s covenant is therefore for our claim as the prodigal son demanded for his portion.

NOTHING IS FREE Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 28:1-14 Devotional:- "Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth” (V. 1)      You need to know that all the blessings of the word of God are all yours by the blood of the Covenant (Zechariah 9:11). As much as all God’s promises are available to all children of God, please know that they are all attached with condition which is the nature of covenant.

THE GRACIOUS

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.
