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).

LIVE READY

Genesis 14:8-16
Devotional:- “Now when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his three hundred and eighteen trained servants who were born in his own house, and went in pursuit as far as Dan" (V. 14) NKJV 

    I have discovered that so many philosophies of the world are becoming ineffective in this generation. Life challenges and opportunities don’t often announce themselves to us or tell us when they are coming. So, this has made many strong people victims of defeat, just because they were taken unaware and were defeated.

That is why you and I need to always be in readiness to face any challenge that comes in the course of the journey of life. Therefore, I need to let you know that you don’t need to get ready anymore; rather, you have to live ready. That is, ever ready.

In the scripture we read today, I saw something that challenged me in the life of Abram, the moment he heard that a war had been fought against his relation, Lot, he just gathered the servants in his house who had been trained to go to battle. The Bible says they were already trained. He was living ready to face any form of challenge that might come. So he gave his servants military

Friend, be wise to imbibe this mentality. Don’t wait to get ready later. Live ready in that house, that office, that school and more. Go and learn how to drive, your car could come any time. You don’t need to paste a learner's card on your car. Get your mind ready. Your new house could be through anytime. Get ready to manage your property. You could be transferred abroad and relocated to a new office, and be promoted anytime from now. This is the reason many cannot retain or maximise their lifting because they were not ready. As a minister of the gospel, prepare to minister abroad. Don’t be shocked by events. Certainly, you are going forward.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always be prepared for my coming opportunities 

IF YOU ARE ALWAYS CAUGHT UNAWARE BY YOUR CHALLENGES, YOU WILL LOSE MOST OF YOUR BATTLES.

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.
