PREVAILING OVER POVERTY

PREVAILING OVER POVERTY II Corinthians 8:1-12 Devotional:- “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich” (V. 9) NKJV      There is no one poverty doesn’t want to rule over, but everyone prevails over it by working their way out of it with wisdom. God’s wisdom is stronger than poverty. The wisdom of this world is weak. Today a larger percentage of the population of the world is still poor. Over 80% are poor while 20% could be called the rich. I believe, in our time, that figure will change. You will also be listed among the rich in Jesus name.

CONSCIENCE

II Samuel 24:2-10
Devotional:- “David was conscience-stricken after he had counted the fighting men, and he said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. Now, LORD, I beg you, take away the guilt of your servant. I have done a very foolish thing” (V. 10) NIV

    God has given every human a conscience. This is a part of your mind that tells you whether what you are doing is right or wrong. Conscience can have a positive effect and can also have a negative effect. Some people want to avoid condemnation in their hearts and so destroy their conscience. The positive effect is very good, it keeps us away from evil. God put it there to help us flee from evil and love one another. It helps us to fear the Lord.

In our scripture today, David did what God had not instructed him to do and his conscience was affected. Some people also go about with a guilty conscience today. There are some sins some people have committed against God, their spouse, family friends, or neighbors, and their conscience held them for long. This could make someone kill him/herself (Mathew 27:3-5). You need to know that as a New Testament believer the Holy Spirit now dwells in you (1 Corinthians 3:16). As long as you keep obeying the Holy Spirit, you can no longer be condemned (Romans 8:1).

To overcome this, you need to repent of such deeds genuinely. Plead the blood of Jesus upon your mind by faith, and your heart will be cleansed (Hebrews 9:13-14), No matter your sin, God will forgive you if you genuinely repent and turn away from such sin (1 John 1:7-9). Then you will be free and you need to begin to allow God’s word in your heart. It is the water of life. It has the power to clean your heart and set you free from a guilty conscience (John 15:3). You are free from now in Jesus name. accept the righteousness of God by faith (Romans 3:22). The peace of God shall flood your heart from now and you shall be free.

PRAYER: LORD, GRANT ME GRACE FOR PURE CONSCIENCE.

“A CLEAN CONSCIENCE IS THE HEALTH OF THE SOUL”

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.
