FLOATING AXE

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...

NO SHOW

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”
