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 FOR VALUE

PRICE FOR VALUE

Scripture Reading: Genesis 22:6-18
Devotional:- “And He said,"Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me."” (V. 12) NKJV 

    Everyone who wants to gain value in this world knows that there is always a price to be paid. In value, it is how much you are willing to put in it that you get out of it. God want man to keep His covenant so that we can value His blessings and goodness.

The word of God says “God tested Abraham by asking him to sacrifice his son (Genesis 22:1-2). It is obedience to these instructions that qualifies Abraham for the establishment of the covenant of God to make Him father of nations. The word of God says “Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son because he knows God is faithful and able to raise the dead (Hebrews 11:17-19).

Friend, intending to receive quality or quantity you are not willing to give may be deceptive (2 Corinthians 9:6). God will always weigh your seed to determine your harvest (Galatians 6:7). Let us therefore wake up to seek and to know our covenant responsibilities and be willing to obey Him for the value we expect. Then, we will start to grow in the blessings of His covenant. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, set me free from the deceptive spirit that discourages me from obeying you.

“THE MORE YOU OBEY HIM, THE MORE YOUR VALUE IN HIM”.

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.
