DESTROYING DELAY

DESTROYING DELAY I Samuel 1:9-20 Devotional:- “And it happened, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli watched her mouth” (V.12) NKJV      Sometimes in the life of a child God, there could come a time of delay. This is when God’s promises seem foot-dragging, and expectations are not fulfilled when expected. When you have been praying about some situations and nothing seems to change. Sometimes such periods defy all kinds of wisdom and if care is not taken such a person’s faith could become cold. Such times are for you to grow strong enough to receive and retain your inheritance in God.

DESTROYER OF STRENGTH

Joshua 7:2-12
Devotional:-“Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they have become doomed to destruction. Neither will I be with you anymore, unless you destroy the accursed from among you.” (V. 12) NKJV

    The God of heaven is great amidst the children of Israel (Isaiah 12:6). This made them conquer their enemies and possess the land of promise. Among other cities, they conquered Jericho (Joshua 6). God promised to be with them all through to conquer all other cities.

With this assurance, they went against the small city of Ai, but they were destroyed and they ran away wondering on the reason God’s strength suddenly disappeared from among them. Joshua sought the face of the Lord and God said: Israel has sinned against Him. Achan had sin the sin of covetousness. This is at the root of the corruption in many nations today

Beloved, sin is a major thing that can destroy God’s strength in your life. Have you noticed a downward trend in God’s presence in your life? Examine yourself, and take away every sin no matter how small. Humble yourself to ask for His forgiveness and you will see yourself bounce back again.

PRAYER: LORD, GIVE ME THE GRACE TO LIVE ABOVE THE SIN OF GREED.

ONLY THE VICTORS Revelation 21:1-8 Devotional:- “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son” (v. 7) NKJV      In this part of the world, many are not so used to taking responsibility over challenges. Instead of been proactive to foresee and prevent issues, people are used to looking out for whom to blame and who should help out (Proverbs 14:23). It is vivid that we are in a challenging season. It is also clear that we are drawing closer to the end of the age.

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.

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.
