FLOATING AXE Devotional:- 2 Kings 6:1-7 “So the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float’’ (V.6) NKJV  Sometimes when we read about some great wonders of God in the Bible, something makes us feel it was because the people were very special. But we need to know that they are men of like passion (James 5:17-18). They were just exactly like we are, but they were only men of faith. This makes God to work wonders through them. The sons of the prophet needed a big place of dwelling. So they decide to cut trees to make a new home. Thank God they requested that Elisha should go with them. As they were cutting the trees, the axe head fell into the deep river. And the man of God asked the Holy Spirit for what to do. The Holy Spirit was what they also depended upon, and there was a miracle. Friend, you also have the Holy Spirit. That stick is the word of God. Speak to the sinking situatio...

PUTTING OFF

Colossians 3:1-11
Devotional:- But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. (V. 8) NKJV

    Part of the labour of faith for a believer is the work of putting off the old man. The old man is the flesh or self in every man (Romans 7:24). It is the work of each one to labour as we fellowship with God through His word to put off the old man (Philippians 2:12).

To put off the former nature of sin, the Bible instructs us to put to death the passion of the flesh.  These passions of the flesh is the sinful nature in each one, they push us to fornication, uncleanliness, passions, evil desire, covetousness which is idolatry (Colossians 3:5).  To put to death is to deliberately separate yourself from friends or atmosphere that promote this sinful desire (1 Timothy 6:11). In doing this we kill the source of the energy of these sins.

Friend you need to be deliberate in this labour to put to death and put off the nature of sin (Romans 6:6).  Remember you have given yourself to Christ. You have been crucified with Him. You no longer belong to yourself. You now belong to Jesus (Galatians 2:20). So separate yourself from this sinful nature and he will help you to put off the old man.

Prayer: Lord, give me the courage to be separated from worldly nature

“If you stop feeding the nature of sin, it will die”

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
