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.

THE AUTHOR

THE AUTHOR 

Devotional:- "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them" (V. 27)

God, the creator of all human is the author of marriage-relationship. He is the one who knows the purpose of marriage. He is the one who determines the way marriage is to be instituted. It will therefore be very important for us to follow His pattern and to get the best of our relationship. His intension was to make man have the best of each other. His intention is to make a marriage the best place for man on earth.

For you to have the best of your relationship, you need to look into how the author aimed it to be. If God is the author, then we have to look into his pattern to have our best. God then must be allowed to govern our home; in how we relate and communicate, in how we treat ourselves in the family, in how we raise our children and in how we manage our resources. All of these should not be patterned after the world but by the instructions of God. A godly family should daily have fellowship with God and His word. This is how God will rule in our home. Anything outside this is of the devil and not of God.

Friend, let us all submit to what the author prescribed. His wisdom cannot be compared to ours. Let us follow His pattern and His approach. The church of Jesus should not be part of worldliness in marriage. Peace

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to allow you to govern my home by your pattern.

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.
