TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...

JEHOVAH-NISSI

Exodus 17:8-16
Devotional:- “And Moses Built An Altar, And Called The Name Of It Jehovah-Nissi” (V. 15) KJV

    It has always been there from time immemorial that some people don’t just want others to prosper. They are ready to be a hindrance rather than a support of success. They always get annoyed when others make progress. They easily become embittered and think of going to war against others. Such are the Amalekites.

They just suddenly become embittered against the sovereign act of God in the life of the Israelites. And they decided to constitute a hindrance to their progress to their promised land. So, they engage Israel in a war. God is always fighting greatly for His people. So, the Amalek were defeated. Your enemy also shall be defeated. But God instructed Moses to keep the record that contrary to the former plan and by current happening the Amalek shall be wiped out of history. And Moses erected a sign there and called it God our banner, which means the sign of our strength and victory.

God is also your sign of victory. If not that the Lord is on your side, where will you be today (Psalm 124:1-3)? This banner is always showing on you, your house and your belongings. That is why your life should be known to be a no-go area for the enemy. You must learn to see this banner there always. And your victory will keep getting established. And the enemy will no longer enter your territory.

Prayer: Lord, be my banner of victory.

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.
