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.

WAITING ON HIM FOR DIRECTION

WAITING ON HIM FOR DIRECTION

Proverbs 3:1-8
Devotional:- "In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths". (V. 6)

    Every son and daughter of God that wants to succeed must understand the aspect of waiting on God for direction. The reason we have to wait on him for direction is because we know that his ways are way of peace (Proverbs 3:17).  Stepping out without direction is laying foundation for frustration. That is why a submissive child of God will always allow God to guide his/her ways. The word of God says we should not depend on our own understanding. In other words, we should not think we know all things. So we are wise when we allow our creator to lead us (Matthew 7:24)

This is not that we don’t have brain but we can make mistake. It is wisdom and humility to allow divine direction (Psalm 25:9-14). Every child of God must therefore learn to wait on God for direction even in little matters. That helps you to cultivate waiting on the Lord as a habit or make it a lifestyle.

Every man has secret to his success. Friend, your success lies in you making God part of your life. Don’t keep claiming to know enough. Too know will lead to too many failure. Humble yourself to act in wisdom. Following people in most cases will lead you astray. People in this part of the world rather follow money than follow wisdom. Leadership of men will take you up a little but God will lift you up forever (1 John 2:17). Get used to asking Him in humility and He will always lead you. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to be humble to ask for your leading.

“WHEN GOD IS YOUR DIRECTOR, SUCCESS IS PREDICTABLE”

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.
