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).

SPIRITUAL LABOUR

SPIRITUAL LABOUR 

Devotional:- “Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience” (V. 1) NKJV

    Now that we have begun to walk in the newness of life in Christ Jesus, we must ensure our participation in spiritual labour to enjoy the restful favour of God. It is important that we know that all things that exist in the physical have first existed in the spiritual (Hebrew l1:3). All good gifts come from above (James 1:19). God’s word says God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly place (Ephesians 1:3). All these scripture establishes the fact that there are blessings spiritually provided for us. And it will take our spiritual labour to harvest them.

It Is a pity that many people have not come to the light that spiritual labour is one of the most important before you consider other types of labour. There are three types of labour the bible teaches: Spiritual labour, mental labour (Ecclesiastes 1:13) and physical labour (1 Thessalonians 4: 11). Spiritual labour is the act of growing in God to be able to claim our entire heritage in Christ (Galatians 4:7). This we will be able to do by increasing our faith in the word of God, praying and fasting or fellowshipping in God’s presence.

Today, the moment some people begin to have some possessions, they will start to neglect spiritual exercises that have great rewards (1 Timothy 4:8). They will start looking for excuses to be absent from the church. They will no longer meditate on God’s word. When the church calls for fasting and prayer, some will neglect it, only to soon run to the pastor when the devil has a grip upon what they think is their security.

As for you, understand that without God you can do nothing (John 15:5). No matter your status, never be bigger than God. Labour to enter your rest in Christ so that your peace, protection and prosperity can be guaranteed. Never neglect God in your days of comfort so that He will not neglect you when you need Him (Proverbs l:24-29). No matter what you have now much is still waiting for you in the spirit. And much more for you and your family are peace, health protection and nonstop prosperity. Learn to labour in the Lord to enter your rest.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME NEVER TO BE LAZY SPIRITUALLY.

“HE THAT NEGLECT GOD IN COMFORT SHALL BE NEGLECTED IN TROUBLE.”

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.
