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.

DEEP FEELINGS

DEEP FEELINGS

Hebrews 4:11-16
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.  (V. 15)

    The act of loving is often expressed in our feelings. In other word, when we are truly Loving, we have emotional feelings for the person we love. The feelings may not be the love but you cannot love without feelings. The feelings are the manifestation of love in us. To feel is not just to lust, but to empathize. To feel along in the same situation with the one we love.

The word of God referring to Jesus said “We have an high priest who have feelings for us in our weaknesses. He knows our weaknesses because He has been in the flesh like us in the past. Empathizing is a product of deep feeling toward someone in their situation. That is why Jesus can forgive our sins (Luke 23:34). Because He knows our limitations.

As believers, we must let the feelings of our love be controlled by the Holy Spirit. Not to lust, but to always be of help to each other. God's word says, because of the feelings of Jesus towards us, He is able to forgive and tolerate us. In these feelings of love you will want to sincerely consider others and not just condemn them. If you are considerate about your family, you will not be bitter against them. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always sympathize with people around me

“FEELINGS OF LOVE WILL ALWAYS LEAD YOU TO HELPING OTHERS“

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.
