A HEALER

  A HEALER Isaiah 53:1-10  Devotional:- “...the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His strips we healed.” (V. 5) It is of great importance to know that the love of God for us brought our healing. When people are sick, it takes careful, loving treatment to bring them to their healing. Sickness itself is a product of sin and a by-product of condemnation and frustration. When Jesus came here on earth, one of the things He dealt with on behalf of man was sickness. Before Adam and Eve sinned, there was no record that they were sick like the same with other patriarchs. This is because these people walked in the righteousness of God. They walked in uprightness of mind with God. So the devil can't afflict them with any form of sickness. When Adam and Eve sinned, the land was cursed for their sake (Genesis 3:17-18). The fruitful plant was removed for the thorns and thistles. Medical research proved that most sicknesses come to the human body through what we eat. Sin, there...

STRONG MEN

Joshua 14:10-15
Devotional:- As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in. (V 11)

     Victory in life is not for the weak but for the strong. This does not mean we have to start body-building to overcome in life. But we need to have the wisdom that gives birth to strength. If you notice any man who always over-power others, what it takes is only strength through wisdom. Weak people have no portion here on earth. Some are just thirty-two years, and are living as somebody of over ninety-five years old.

Caleb was a strong man and we see this all through his life. He was one of the twelve that was sent by Moses to spy the land of Canaan in Numbers 13 and 14. Ten of the spies came back with negative report, but Caleb and Joshua came with a good one – the Godly and goodly kind of report. This is because of their knowledge of God. they knew He is a great God that cannot fail. This same Caleb is saying in our scripture here today, that he could still go to war at eighty. Not requesting for battle on a plain ground but at the mountain top.

If you too want to be strong all the days of your life, then learn these two secrets of Caleb. The first is that He knew God. He was a man of knowledge (Daniel 11:32). He was also living in the wisdom of God (Proverb 24:5). God is the giver of strength (Isaiah 40:29). Seek to know Him and he will supply you. Don’t die in weakness, Seek to know and believe in Him. It is knowledge that make strong. Ignorant create doubt and fear. Refuse to be defeated by the troubles of this world. If any will will live in sickness or the affliction of life, its not you. If any will live frustrated in failure its not you. Give yourself to seeking knowledge and you will be made strong.

Prayer: Lord, the great I am is in me, I will not be defeated or frustrated

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.
