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).

NO SHOW

2 Kings 20:12-21 
Devotional:- “And Hezekiah was attentive to them, and showed them all the house of his treasures-the silver and gold, the spices and precious ointment, and all his armoury-all that was found among his treasures. There was nothing in his house or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them” (v. 13) NKJV. 

    A great problem in the lives of many people is the spirit of show-off. The fundamental reason why they do everything is that people may see their glory and beauty, so any little opportunity they have, they will use to display that all men may see. If you see how some sit in their car and cross their legs on the dashboard.

You will know that they can’t go too far. This has been the trick that has held many down for a long time, and many who had been up before have been brought down. Since your season to rise has come, you have to be careful of the spirit of show-off.

The reason why this spirit brought many people down was that they unwisely exposed themselves to the enemy. That is why God’s word says, Be sober: be vigilant, for the enemy is looking for whom to devour (1 Peter 5:8). The king we read about today has been greatly helped by God to gather much wealth during his rulership. But the devil smartly sneaked into his life and he offended God.

Watch out, friend, don’t expose yourself to the enemy. Rather, give glory to God. Show-off is a product of pride and ego, which God is against. If you intend to keep flying in life, then humble yourself. Do not choose to show. Stop throwing parties for a waste. Let wisdom guide your heart. Stop pretending to be where you are not (Proverbs 13:7). It will often make you lie to please men and displease God. Watch out!

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO CHOOSE TO PLEASE YOU RATHER THAN TO PLEASE MEN.

“LIFE IS TO BE APPRECIATED AND NOT FOR UNDUE CELEBRATION”

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.
