FEED ON THE WORD Joshua 1:6-9 Devotional:- “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success” (V. 8) NKJV      Man often makes the mistake of building his body but not his soul. Since man is not the body but the spirit, he that does not build his soul is weak though he is building his body.  To build your soul, you need to feed it with the word of God (James 1:21). Jesus said, “The words I speak to you are spirit and life”. In other words; it carries a spirit that will turn your life to what it should be. Information brings reformation. Information is the vehicle of the spirit.

SURRENDER TO GOD

SURRENDER TO GOD

Scripture: Romans 6:1-14

Devotional:- And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God (v. 13) NKJV

     The word surrender look too foolish to the language in the world of winning, succeeding, don't give up or overcoming. But we can only be disciples of Jesus and be like Jesus when we surrender to Him (Romans 12:1). We don't surrender to God with a sense of fear or duty but love. (1 John4:9-10,19). We often don't surrender to God because we don't realize how much God loves us. So we always want to control our own life. For us to be able to surrender to God, we must be able to trust Him, then we can trust our life into His loving hands. We must also admit our limitations and weaknesses, then we can trust in His help.

Surrendering does not mean giving up rational thinking but it is demonstrated in obedience to God no matter what. It means to trust Him to be faithful to His promises. It means waiting patiently for Him (Psalm 37:7). It means not rushing to defend yourself or react to criticism. Everyone eventually surrender to something. No matter what, your life is controlled by something. That is why you should determine who controls your life by submitting to Jesus. People’s lives are controlled by opinion of others or expectations, money, fear, pride, inferiority complex, lust, or ego. But a true disciple of Christ will surrender to God in all things. That is when we can be like Him. Peace

Prayer- Lord, help me to totally surrender to you in all things.

“He who does not surrender to God has to surrender to an idol”.

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.

ONLY THE VICTORS Revelation 21:1-8 Devotional:- “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son” (v. 7) NKJV      In this part of the world, many are not so used to taking responsibility over challenges. Instead of been proactive to foresee and prevent issues, people are used to looking out for whom to blame and who should help out (Proverbs 14:23). It is vivid that we are in a challenging season. It is also clear that we are drawing closer to the end of the age.

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.
