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.

HOPE DEFERRED

Job 14:6-9
Devotional:- “For there is hope for a tree, if it’s cut down, it sprouts again and grows tender new branch” (V. 7) TLB

    The challenge of life could weigh a man down beyond his faith and bring him to the level of hopelessness. Many people today have no hope of good things happening to them anymore. They have been waiting on God for quite sometimes and their hope is getting wearied.

To be hopeless is to conclude there is no better tomorrow. This happens to us sometimes when we put our expectations on men or when we over-expect from people. It could also be that we do not know that hope in God is made strong by the wisdom of patience in divine instructions (Hebrews 6:12). If this situation is not arrested quickly, it could lead to loss of vision, purpose, and faith in God. This is the goal of the enemy, but he has failed.

Listen to the powerful statement from Job: even if a tree is cut down there is hope for it. At the smell of water, it shall bud again, no matter what has been delayed in your life, if there is hope for a tree, there is hope for you. Don’t let your heart be wearied (Proverb 13:12). Please know that this is a strategy of the devil to remove you totally from faith in God. Therefore, renew your trust in God’s word by stretching your root to His word. Your hope shall come again.

Remember the faithfulness of God is from generation to generation. If He did not fail Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph, He will not fail you. You will rise again; all your lost time and materials shall be recovered. You may think you are losing time, but He is keeping time. You shall celebrate your progress and prosperity in Jesus name. It’s not over.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO FIND NEW HOPE IN YOU.

“YOU ARE NOT LOSING TIME; GOD IS ONLY KEEPING TIME”

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.
