STRENGTH IN GOD

STRENGTH IN GOD 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 Devotional:- “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” (V4) NKJV      Many Christians today have so much confusion about their strength in God. It has made the church think that a few limited people can demonstrate the strength of God. So, multitudes are weak in strength. Though they come to church, yet in times of challenges, you see them rushing to another Christian whom they know to be stronger in God. Neglecting the fact that a New Testament believer is a potential priest and king for Christ (Revelation 5:10; Mark 16:17).

CONDEMNATION

CONDEMNATION

Romans 8:1-10
Devotional:- “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit” (V. 1) NKJV.

    There are things that you and I don’t have again in Christ, but the devil often tries to push them on us. One of such things is condemnation. God’s word told us of the people who face God’s condemnation. These are people who have refused to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour (John 3:17–19). So as a believer, you have nothing called condemnation again. That is the reason you must not live by the dictate of the flesh anymore but of the spirit. Let the Holy Spirit be your guide in all you do (Romans 8:1). Refuse sinful thoughts in your mind whenever they come (Romans 8:5-7).

It is always the trick of the devil to bring us to the platform of condemnation. But this is a game of ignorance on men. He knows that the moment a man takes condemnation, he will drop his faith, confidence, and courage. Condemnation is prejudging yourself due to fake information about the wicked. A man with feelings of condemnation is as weak as a vegetable. He will not see any reason why God needs to help him. He will see himself as not qualified to be alive or have a future. It is accepting the judgement of the devil.

The truth you need to know is that as a spirit-filled believer, you may commit errors, yet you are not condemned. There is forgiveness for you in Christ Jesus when you repent (1 John 1:7-9). The ministry of judgement is neither to the devil nor to any human being. God has only given our judgement to Jesus Christ, the only one who died for us (John 5:22–24). Our judgement is in the hand of Jesus, our Saviour (Romans 8:33–34). Friend, if it is the same Jesus who died for you and who is interceding for you before the Father that has the right to judge you, the truth is that He will not do that (John 5:24). Therefore, you are free from condemnation. Don’t let the devil destroy your confidence in Christ. He has no right to condemn you but Jesus, your saviour. Rise therefore in faith and be bold. Don’t continue in your sin because sin is the strength of condemnation in the life of men (Romans 6:1, Proverbs 28:1). If you will always allow the thoughts of the things of God in your mind, you will always be strong enough to overcome.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO ALWAYS SET MY HEART ON THE WORD OF GOD

“IF THE JUDGE IS YOUR LOVER, HE WILL NOT GIVE JUDGMENT TILL THE CASE FAVOURS YOU”

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.

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.
