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).

SERVING THE LORD

SERVING THE LORD

Ephesians 6:1-9 
Devotional:- “with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men” (v.7) NKJV

    One of the mysteries you will need to climb up is service. This is using your strength to strengthen others. It is lifting the weak. It is helping someone to become. It is equipping others to be great. Many people have not discovered that the way to be great in God is to become humble (James 4:10, 1 Peter 5:6). A strong proof of humility is the willingness to serve. Jesus said, Whoever wants to be great should be willing to be a servant (Mark 10:42-45).

If you are aiming to become great in your life, embrace service. Stop avoiding being used as a servant anywhere you are. Until you discover that you are living for the benefit of others, you may not find fulfilment in life.

We need to note that when we yield ourselves to serve, we are bound to face challenges from ignorant bosses. This does not mean we giving bad services. God’s word says that our service should be unto the Lord and not unto men (Ephesians 6:7-8). So do all you can do in that house, school, or office as unto the Lord. He is the only one who can reward service, Salary is not always the best reward for service. That is why the word of God has great promises for servants only. He promises divine protection, healing, blessing, and promotion (Exodus 23:25-27, John 12:26).

Stop serving men and money. Be God’s servant in your office. This does not mean you should not be paid for what you do, but money should not be our main motivator. Our strong motive should be the kingdom of God. Our services should be as unto the Lord. He is a faithful rewarder (Hebrews 11:6). Serve Him with your time, talent, and substance. You can sponsor the spreading of the gospel of the kingdom of God. It’s your turn to be rewarded and promoted. Congratulations! 

PRAYER: LORD, GIVE ME A SERVANT’S HEART

“IF YOU CANNOT SERVE YOU CANNOT BE SERVED”

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.
