SHILOH Genesis 49:8-12 Devotional:- “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people” (V.10) NKJV      Man by nature always desires to have a place they can turn to in times of need. Sometimes men experience some situations that look stronger than them. At such time we desire to have a place of refuge. Not just a shady place to hide from the beating of the sun but for security and salvation.

AVOID FALLING

AVOID FALLING

2 Samuel 11:1-5
Devotional:- “Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king's house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold” (V. 2) NKJV

    All of us must have this registered in our mind that the enemy is not only aiming to attack us but to also bring us down totally. What does it mean to fall? It is to be pushed or lured into sin. The devil is always looking for a way to make a man that is standing to fall. He is much after the leaders especially. He is aiming to destroy their testimonies and stain their glorious garments. God’s word says he came to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). We don’t need to be afraid of this but be watchful.

In this pathetic story, David a man God so much cherished, loved, and held in high esteem fell. Why? You could observe that he was idle. While others had gone to war, he was relaxing at home doing nothing (Amos 6:1). An idle hand is always the devil’s workshop. Idleness makes you see what you are not supposed to see and gets you involved in what does not concern you. Many have thereby implicated themselves. You can always turn back no matter how far you have committed yourself to wrong thing. However, the power to say “No” is already in you. An attempt to cover up will be disastrous. Since David committed the sinned adultery, his attempt to cover up led him to commit more errors.

Friend, enough is enough. You need to put a stop to those wrong steps if it will not put a stop to your life. Sin kills. Learn to control yourself in every situation. Be mindful of what you are watching and hearing. When wrong things are shown on your screen, take the responsibility to turn off the station. Discipline your heart and your eyes even in the office. Be content with what you have. Grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. It is all deceit. Don’t enjoy a little sin to damage your heart and peace. The shame of falling is not easily erased. Why don’t you avoid it, and stand strong? May you receive the grace

PRAYER: LORD, UPHOLD ME BY THE POWER OF YOUR SPIRIT.

“A LITTLE FALLING OFTEN BRINGS GREAT DAMNATION”

THE GRACIOUS

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
