  DON’T BLAME GOD James 1:12-20 Devotional:- “And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else” (V. 13) NLT Today, there is so much confusion the enemy places in the heart of men to make them feel that God hate them. So, when people are under the pressure of the flesh to sin, they say “God is tempting me”. When people are weak, they are going to face temptation through their flesh. It wil be wrong to say God is tempting you with sickness or troubles. Yes, God knows about it but He only allows it when we have been warned repeatedly and we refuse to change. He disciplines, but it is necessary for us to know that God is not the author of evil, that is the work of the devil (Hebrews 12:6; Matthew 4:24).  There is a difference between a test and temptation. To test means to examine or observe if someone is capable of doing something. To tempt means to entice or lure someone into doing some...

SHIELD OF FAITH

SHIELD OF FAITH

Hebrew 11:30-40
Devotional:- “By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days” (V. 30) NKJV

    No one can handle any of the weapons of the Spirit successfully without faith. Shield of faith is one of the major weapons that works to establish our hearts in victory. Thank God for the ministry of prophets, but that has turned many weak and there is no need to grow in faith forgetting that the minister cannot always be with you. That therefore necessitates your personal growth.

As New Testament believers, the aim of Christ is that all believers should be priests and kings, and that is why you have to personally grow in faith (Rev. 5:10). . Faith is standing on the promises of the word of God. It is taking God by His word. It is working out your victory as directed by the Lord. Faith is seeing things as God sees them. It is accepting God’s word as the truth (John 17:17).

For you to grow in faith, you must always study God’s word. That is the source of faith (Romans 10:17). Faith comes into your spirit when the word of God is revealed to you. Faith makes you stand as Jesus will stand, speak as Jesus does. As you stand by faith not in your boldface but in the word of God, the host of heaven will always join you and the enemies will flee from you. Arise and win.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO INCREASE IN FAITH.

“WHEN FAITH STANDS ON THE ETERNAL FOUNDATION OF GOD’S WORD, IT CANNOT FAIL”

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.
