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.

PRICE OF FOCUS

PRICE OF FOCUS

Philippians 3:12-16
Devotional:- "Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead." (V. 13)

    One of the most potent factors of success is focus. This helps us to concentrate on the major things of life for our success. Many things are always calling for our attention. They will always attempt to distract us from been successful. That is why we have to learn the wisdom of focus. This makes us effective and successful (Matthew 6:22).

The word of God reveals to us one of the secret of the success of Paul the Apostle, He said one thing I do, he focused on his calling. He always put out of mind many things. Someone said, he does not know how to succeed, but he can recommend how to fail, that is satisfying all. Jesus said one thing is needful in life (Luke 10:42).

To be able to have a focused life, we must understand our assignment specifically and get our purpose right. Without clear purpose, people will keep changing direction, jobs, relationship, and church etc. This is because they feel making changes will give them success and settle their confusions (Ephesians 5:12).

Friend, when vision and purpose are defined, then you need to focus on it. This will make you highly effective (Philippians 3:15).  It is said that when sunlight is focused or concentrated with a lenses, it can ignite fire on a paper; scientist says it can cut steel. That is how potent your life will be when you can focus. Peace!

Prayer- Lord, Give me Grace to focus on my assignment to succeed.

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.
