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).

FAN TO FLAME

FAN TO FLAME

II Timothy 1:3-7
Devotional:- For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands” (v.6) NIV 

    It's a terrible thing to see that men are wasting than most plants and animals are. This is because men will not take the time to exploit the strength in themselves, but keep exploiting other things around them. Inside any man you see is great potential, gifts and the grace of God.

The purpose for which He has created man was to come to the world to subdue the earth. This can be interpreted as bringing the unfinished work of God to a glorious completion (Hebrews 11:40).

To be able to carry out this great task, He has put in all of us the adequate potential. But it is the responsibility of each one to learn to fan to flame the gift of God in our lives. It is the manifestation of this gift in our lives that will distinguish us and make ways for us among the greats (Proverbs 18:16).

The Scripture we read today offered us a process through which our gifts and potential can begin to manifest for our greatness. And this is by fanning it to flame, that is, stirring up. This is just like blowing or fanning a little fire amid charcoal till it all catches flame. Three things can help you fan your gift to fame. These are the words of God, prayer and service. The word of God is like fire (Jer. 23:29). The prayer strengthens us to operate in the spirit (Acts 4:31), and service helps us exercise our gift to maturity. As you serve the Lord in His house and everywhere, you shall be discovered and excel in God’s grace upon your life. In that house, school, office or church, give yourself to service and your glory shall soon be discovered, your portion shall be delivered.

Prayer: Lord, expose the richness inside me.

“WHAT WILL TURN YOU GREAT IS ALREADY INSIDE YOU BUT CAN ONLY BE DISCOVERED AS YOU FAN IT TO FLAME”

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.
