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).

PRICE OF SERVICE

PRICE OF SERVICE

Mark 10: 35-45
Devotional:- "Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant". (V. 43)

    In the language of the world, no one ready wants to be called a servant. It sounds like slavery or a low ranked staff. So the world does not really appreciate the office of a servant. The truth is that no one can succeed without service. It is the act of blessing someone with the gifts, talents and Grace God has given to you. It is willingness to affect others with your life.

Jesus says who ever want to be great should be ready to be a servant. He says service is the route to leadership (Mark 10:44). Service is humbling yourself to be a solution to other people’s problem. To be a solution means you must be able to draw close to the people to diagnose their situation. It demands that you are able to go all the way searching out to help identify the solution to people’s situation.

In the course of doing all of these you are not only working for people but you are really serving God. This is because you allow God to use you to be a solution. The truth is that you are a servant of whomever that is using you. Make up your mind to carry a servant of God mentality and you shall succeed. Peace!

Prayer- Lord, make me a vessel of solution to others

“IF YOU CANNOT SERVE YOU CANNOT SUCCEED”

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.
