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).

CREATED STRONG

Genesis 1:26-31
Devotional:- “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (V. 27) NKJV

    The word of God is so clear about the nature and the purpose of the creation of Man. When God finished creating all He wanted to create, He needed someone who would take charge and manage the earth. I believe the first world created by God in his beauty and glory was taken over by the devil and darkness. And it became formless and void (Genesis 1:1-2).

So, God knew that He had to put a creature in place that would be stronger than the devil. This was what necessitated the empowerment of man at creation with the nature and potential to adequately function in his position as the king of the earth. God wanted a strong being that would be able to terminate and conquer the forces of wickedness. So, He had to make man in His image and likeness. He made him God-kind on earth so that he could be as strong as God. It was sin that brought man down to producing mankind. Adam was God kind.

That is why the devil couldn’t come close to him and had to pass through his wife. Jesus became the second Adam, so that Man may have his divinity restored (1 Corinthians 15:45). Now that you are a child of God, please know that you are now god through Jesus Christ (John 10:34-35). Christ came to show us how to live in the divine nature that God had created us to live in (2 Peter 1:4; John 14:12). This will never manifest until you fellowship daily with Him. Whatever you need to do is to be done by faith in God. You need to return to your strength in Christ. This is by creating time to fellowship with God in His word and time of prayer. Create time out of your busy schedules (Isaiah 40:31). Then your strength will be restored and you will find your victory in life. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, I return to my place in Christ in Jesus' name.

“YOU HAVE THE NATURE OF HE THAT GIVES BIRTH TO YOU”

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.
