FLOATING AXE Devotional:- 2 Kings 6:1-7 “So the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float’’ (V.6) NKJV  Sometimes when we read about some great wonders of God in the Bible, something makes us feel it was because the people were very special. But we need to know that they are men of like passion (James 5:17-18). They were just exactly like we are, but they were only men of faith. This makes God to work wonders through them. The sons of the prophet needed a big place of dwelling. So they decide to cut trees to make a new home. Thank God they requested that Elisha should go with them. As they were cutting the trees, the axe head fell into the deep river. And the man of God asked the Holy Spirit for what to do. The Holy Spirit was what they also depended upon, and there was a miracle. Friend, you also have the Holy Spirit. That stick is the word of God. Speak to the sinking situatio...

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.

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.

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.

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.
