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).

CONFIDENCE

CONFIDENCE

Hebrews 10:32-39 NKJV
Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. (V 35)

    Confidence is an attribute of every Victorious man. A confident man is a man that has the certainty of his ability to overcome. As much as some people can see confidence as a wrong way of living, yet no one has overcome without it.

The scripture we read today encouraged us not to throw away our confidence. The reward of a confident man is victory. You therefore need to build up your confidence in God.

Confidence is produced by the assurance of a promise of the truth. You are confident for sitting on a chair because you have the assurance that it has the strength to carry you. So also you need to build your confidence for victory and success in God. He is the rock of ages; this is possible by trusting in His word. God’s word says “we have also a more sure word of prophecy ... “(2 Peter 1:19).

This is the reason why David the man of war will not go to any war without a word from God. This is one of the secrets of his consistent victory. Whenever the word of God assures you of something you can place your confidence on it. God’s word cannot fail. You can always have total assurance of God’s word. It is dangerous to live without confidence. But then more dangerous to put your confidence in what is not certain but in the word of God.

Prayer: Lord, help me to build my confidence in you

“CONFIDENCE IS ONE OF THE UNCOMPROMISING SECRETS OF A VICTOR”.

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.
