STAND IN

  STAND IN 1 Timothy 2:1-7  Devotional:- “Here are my directions: Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all he is going to do for them.” (v.1) TLB . When God lifts a man, such a man must have enjoyed the intercessory ministry of others. It is part of the principle of God for us to receive (Matthew 7:7). This is because He does not want to break into our free will and damage our choice. He does not want to break into our decision. That is why we say it sometimes when an event happens, "Did God not see it?” Until He is asked to do something, He finds it difficult to do it. Rather, if He wants to promote a man and the man is not aware, He will touch other people to pray for him.  That is why you and I must also be willing to pray and stand in the gap for others. Paul was instructing Timothy and all of us as members of the body of Christ to pray for others. There are so many people around you who need one thing or another. Even though you ca...

YOUR STRENGTH

YOUR STRENGTH

Scripture Reading: Daniel 11:29-39
Devotional:- “Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits” (V. 32) NKJV

Every child of God needs to know that their covenant walk with God determines their strength with God. We are strong spiritually because God is behind us (Romans 8:31). None of us can stand the resistance of life without Him (John 15:5) This is the reason some people in the church cannot overcome the forces against them, because God is a God of covenant.

When a child of God is not walking in the covenant of God, he/she gives room for the enemy to have his way over their lives and destiny. Behold, our strength in God is in our faith in the word of God (1 John 5:4). We cannot therefore be disobedience to the word that is our strength and expect victory (Romans 6:1). It is as we walk in the will of God that the presence of God will be with us. Samson thought he was in control of the anointing. But it was too late for him to realize that it is controlled by God (Judges 16:20).

Friend, your strength is in the presence of God with you (Romans 8:31). There are forces of God at work with you and that is why you are protected. If you stop obeying God, they will depart (Romans 6:1; Psalms 34:7). Whenever you call the name of Jesus, you are calling their Commander in Chief (Psalms 24:10; Ephesians 1:19-23). Therefore, you cannot be against the Commander and the battalion will answer you. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to walk in what will take your strength away from me.

“YOU ARE ONLY STRONG WHEN YOU WHEN YOU ARE OBEYING THE COMMANDER”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
