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.

LOCATING A KING

LOCATING A KING 

I Samuel 16:1-13
Devotional:- “Now the LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons." (V. 1) NKJV

    God is always in the business of locating rulers and kings. Since He is omnipresent and omniscient God sees all things and knows all things. He often prepares who will be the next ruler in every nation (Daniel 4:25). Not only does He locate and prepare, but He also appoints and enthrones. Nothing can be established without Him. He brings wicked rulers sometimes to discipline the people and righteous rulers sometimes to comfort the people.

When the Israelites were unnecessarily demanding for a king, He gave them king Saul who was not righteous before Him. Later, He brought David who was a man after God's heart and the best king of Israel.

You need to know that up till now God is seeking rulers over the nations. If you can comport yourself in loving the Lord and loving His people God can prepare and appoint you to be one soon. Stop living or doing things for money’s sake. Start to love to see change. Start to love to see your house, school, office, shop or the house of God get better. Be willing to pay the price of service. And God who sees will keep observing you. Soon, God will lift you and enthrone you for the salvation of the life of the people and His glory in your life. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to love to serve for my lifting

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.
