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.

MEN OF FAITH

Hebrews 11:30-35
Devotional:-“Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises stopped the mouth of lions’’. (V. 33)

    

    Faith is an essential weapon in the hand of those that will be referred to as victors. Our scripture today shows us the catalogue of men of faith who were victorious through faith. People who did extraordinary things on this planet earth, who fought battle and won. People who took their lives in their hands and yet never died. People who faced terrible situations and yet never defeated. We actually have much to learn of them.

The main and very common thing to these great people is faith. Faith is believing the word of God and acting on it accordingly. It is not bold-face but accepting God's word as true and taking steps by the instruction received from it. It is taking the word as it is and basing your life on it. It is only men of faith that can enjoy or receive anything from God (Hebrews 11:6).

Faith is a great virtue that all children of God must possess. God's word says "the just shall live by faith" (Romans 1:17). Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcome the world our faith" (1 John 5:4).

The opposite of faith is doubt and fear. All this will not allow you to enjoy God in any form (James 1:6-8). Being afraid of your situation will only make you a victim (Job 3:25). Whatever He says, just believe it and continue to confess it. How or when He is going to do it is not your problem. He is committed to His word, and He said it will not pass away (Mark 13:31). Be ready to die rather than doubting God's word and you shall live to see it fulfilled. Doubt comes from experiences and situations but faith comes by the word (Romans 10:17). Tap into it from now for your daily victory. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to build up in the faith of your word for my victory

"A MAN OF FAITH IS AN ESTABLISHED 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.
