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).

RESPONSIBILITY

Devotional:- “By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren” (V. 16)

    Building a healthy relationship demands that each party is responsible. In a situation where a partner is not responsible, it can frustrate the one that is responsible. This is exactly the way we treat God a lot of time. Man is always discouraged by the devil not to be responsible towards God. Whenever we have needs, we always want God to be responsible towards us, but not us being responsible to God. This is always the bone of contention between man and God. To be responsible is to always carry out part of the relationship deal.

The word of God says, this is how we can know love, because Jesus laid down His life for us. Therefore, we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. To be responsible is to continue to sacrificially take care of each other in relationship. It means, meeting the needs of each other and not expecting one person to meet all the needs. In some cases, one person will be saving his resources for personal goal, while one person takes care of all things for the family. This is what some people call marriage.

Friend, whoever is not responsible is a parasite and a liability. Check your body parts; they are all responsible to each other. Even if your spouse supplies all the things in the house, don’t sit down like that. Make sure you have a great role to play also. Create them if there are none, so that your relationship does not break down because someone is no longer able. Housewife is not equal to idleness. Be wise. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to take my place in my relationship.

“HE THAT PUT IN NOTHING IN ANY RELATIONSHIP WILL NOT GET ANYTHING SERIOUS ON THE LONG RUN”.

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.
