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).

HONOUR THE LORD

HONOUR THE LORD

Daniel 4:27-37
Devotional:- “Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment…” (v.37) KJV 

    The reason why so many people find it difficult to keep rising in life is that they do not know how to always honour the Lord. This is so because many have not realise that by strength shall no man prevail (1 Samuel 2:9). God’s word says, it’s not by power nor by might but by my spirit says the Lord (Zechariah 4:6). Most people often think within themselves that it is by their strength and power they’ve attained their goals.

I have discovered with time that the achievement of goals, increase and power to prosper is not in the hands of men but God; they only happen to people that God has given it (I Corinthians 3:16). If we learn this wisdom. Then we will always appreciate and honour the Lord in our hearts for all our achievements. God’s word says, “My glory will I not give another” (Isaiah 42:8). So, when you acclaim God’s glory to yourself, you are looking for trouble.

Nebuchadnezzar did it and learnt the greatest lesson of his life. Though he had built a kingdom yet he was not wise enough to know that it was God who was doing it through him. Friend, be wise. Yes, you work. Earn and gather, but all of these are the Grace of God (John 3:27). Humble yourself to always thank Him. Before you start your business, call your staff together and thank God for yesterday. Then, you will never be dishonoured, and you will keep flying high till your glory comes.

Prayer: Lord, let my heart always honour you for all things.

“WHEN YOU DON’T HONOUR THE LORD YOU WILL BE DISHONOURED, GOD’S WAY TO THE TOP IS BY GOING DOWN

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.
