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).

COURAGE

COURAGE

Joshua 1:1-9
Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV

    A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.

To understand what courage is. You can view it from discouragement. Courage is the opposite of discouragement. It is an internal strength that is generated by a great desire to achieve a goal. Everyone has courage, but it differs in levels. When the level of courage generated by a man is not strong, then achievement may not be easy.

Most of the glorious things God has prepared for you this year need a good level of courage to have them. God told Joshua, “Except you are courageous, you may not enter Canaan.” This message is also for you. The way to keep growing in a good level of courage is to be highly selective about the kind of information you are receiving. Learn to always be where you will be encouraged. This is gotten in the house of God (Psalm 84:7). You also need to learn to always encourage yourself. Waiting on others to always encourage you is a weak level (1 Samuel 30:6). You will always need to be highly determined to achieve your goal. Also, watch out to make sure you are not doing something that is against God’s will, that will make you lack divine support (John 15:5). Any program or project that God is not involved in will surely fail at the end. Acknowledge God in all your ways (Proverbs 3:5-6). Always go out with a winning heart, ie expecting victory by the help of the Lord. And God will always surprise you. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to develop enough strength of courage for my achievement this year.

IF YOU ALWAYS REFUSE TO BE DISCOURAGED, YOU WILL ALWAYS ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL

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.
