DON'T BLAME GOD

  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...

TRAP OF ADULTERY

TRAP OF ADULTERY

Proverbs 6:20-29
Devotional:- “For by means of a harlot A man is reduced to a crust of bread; And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life” (V. 26) NKJV

    The terrible trouble the enemy has put into the lives of some people is adultery. Through this so many lives have been ruined. It is a product of weaknesses or lack of self-discipline in the five senses which have allowed demons to enforce it on the soul. So many young and dynamic brains have been turned into dustbins. So many destinies have been destroyed (Proverb 7:6-14). So many homes have been turned to holes, love has been turned to hatred, many integrities have been stolen, and financial giants have been turned to paupers. Many greatness has been destroyed and many mighty men have fallen.

In the book of Judges, one could see the story of Samson a Nazarene of God, a man endowed with strength from heaven but he entered a trap of adultery. He never knew how to get rid of this trouble till it got rid of him.

If you find yourself or your relation in a web-like this today, there is a way out in Christ Jesus. So many people are already in this trap and they do it in the secrets. Your future cannot be fulfilled when your integrity is being soiled here and there.

Ask Jesus to come into your life and change you. Start to feed your heart with the word of God because that spirit lives in the heart. Always plead the blood of Jesus on your mind to flush the thought away (1 Corinthian 10:4-5). Ask the Holy Spirit to take over your heart and grant you the power to say no to sin. When your friends or flesh bring the suggestion, say no to it. Your body is the temple of God not of sin (1 Corinthians 3:16). Tell the devil to get out. In Christ Jesus you have authority over the devil and his demons (Mark 16:17; Luke 10:19). Your day of glory has started.

PRAYER: LORD, GRANT ME GRACE TO SAY NO TO SIN.

“AN ADULTERER IS AS WEAK AS A BREAD”

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.
