STRENGTH IN GOD

STRENGTH IN GOD 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 Devotional:- “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” (V4) NKJV      Many Christians today have so much confusion about their strength in God. It has made the church think that a few limited people can demonstrate the strength of God. So, multitudes are weak in strength. Though they come to church, yet in times of challenges, you see them rushing to another Christian whom they know to be stronger in God. Neglecting the fact that a New Testament believer is a potential priest and king for Christ (Revelation 5:10; Mark 16:17).

DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE

DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
Devotional:- “To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven” (V. 1)

    All of us on the earth are made by God for a purpose, your vision talked about your assignment but your purpose talked about the reason for your vision. It talks about the motive behind your vision. It talks about the motivation for your running and pursuit on earth. Since it is motive that motivates, then motive must be clear to please the Lord.

The word of God says there is a purpose for all things in the world. It is walking in the purpose that makes life meaningful. It is the purpose of your creation that gives your life a righteous focus for effectiveness. It is your life purpose that makes you please the Lord and enjoy the blessings of righteousness (Psalm 5:12). It is the motive of your purpose that makes your life prepared for eternal reward.

Though our vision i.e. our assignments, business or career differs yet our purpose is the same. It is to become our motive for pursuit. They can be summarized into five statements. We are to do all things to bring Glory to God (1 Corinthians 10:31). We are to support the family of God with all we do (Galatians 6:9-10). We are to Grow the attitude of Christ and behave like him in all we do (1 Corinthians 11:1; Matthew 10:25). We are to do all things to be a blessing (Genesis 12:2-3). We are to do all things to draw others to God (Matthew 28:19). When these become your purpose, your endeavour cannot fail. Every venture will be faced with one challenge or the other. But when your purpose is your focus and your motivation, the Lord will stand by you to give you victory (Romans 8:31). Stop making only material gain to be your purpose, then you will start to fulfil your purpose. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to make my purpose my motive

“YOUR MOTIVE WILL DETERMINE WHETHER GOD WILL BE BEHIND YOU OR NOT”

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.
