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.

SPIRITUAL DRYNESS

SPIRITUAL DRYNESS

Judges 16:18-28
Devotional"= However, the hair of his head began to grow again after it had been shaven” (V.22) NKJV

    A man who is strong and deep in faith could sometimes have spiritual dryness. This is a period when faith seems to have vanished, A period when you as a leader want to read your Bible and it looks as if it is all erased. You wouldn’t even see any revelation in it. A period when you want to spend a good time praying and you end up thinking and pondering upon your problems. Prayer time becomes boring, and in such time, it could seem better for you to sleep than to pray. Your mind becomes so empty and carries no power to impart no one. No one likes to witness such a season but it does happen. You only need to know how to avoid and get out of such a situation.

Samson a mighty man of God, having revealed the secret of his power to a woman put his life in danger of death. The hair he was divinely instructed not to cut was shaven and he lost his might. This made him a victim of his enemy. But the hair later began to grow again. This is the restoration of life and anointing.

When we begin to give more time to the work of God than the God of the work, we are opening doors to spiritual dryness. When we have no time to pray, to eat the bread of life (The word of God) and we disobey the Holy Spirit at will. At such times, God will see the need to withdraw a little from us to make us see our inability without Him; So that we might run back to Him. This also happens to David the king (Psalm 51:7-12).

At such times, please set time aside to be with God. Let Him know you are nothing without Him and that you are willing to be back (John 15:5). Ask for a renewal of the Spirit and God will answer your prayer. The hair of your spirit will begin to grow again. Please avoid these lapses, the enemy can take advantage of them to fulfill his desires. Don’t forget that God is still with you, He has promised never to leave you no matter what. Stop being afraid, He is by your side, your strength is restored from now in Jesus name.

PRAYER: LORD, RESTORE UNTO ME THE JOY OF THY SALVATION.

“EVERY DRY SEASON WILL ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED BY A HEAVY RAINY SEASON”.

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.
