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.

DOING JUSTICE

DOING JUSTICE ​

John 8:1-12
Devotional:- "When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” (V. 10)

    In a true house of love, there will be justice. To be just is to be fair on others. One of the reasons God love us is because He is a just God. If there is justice in any relationship, either official or non official, such will be strong and solid. This is because there is no partiality or favoritism.  God was boasting about Abraham that he will teach his children to do justice and righteousness (Genesis 18:18-19). This is what God expect of you and I too.

We read about the lifestyle of God's in the scripture of today that He loves righteousness and justice (Psalm 33:5). In another scripture, the Bible says “I desire mercy and not sacrifice (Matthew12:7). Jesus said, the weightier matter of the law are justice, mercy and faith (Matthew 23:23).

To do justice is to be fair and considerate when you are relating with others. This does not mean you tolerate sin or wrong conduct, yet the weight you can't carry, you don't put it on others. Be fair as you relate with people. Yes, you must live right with God but not to be too strict to destroy others. Wickedness is not part of godliness. Leader should discipline people with fairness. You are to love people like yourself. The Lord will help us. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, help me to live a just life

“The balance between wickedness and righteousness is justice”

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.
