DISTANCING FROM THE SCRIPTURES

DISTANCING FROM THE SCRIPTURES

Deuteronomy 8:1-11
Devotional:- “To teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD” (v.3) NIV

    The word of God is the bank of our strength in God. The word of God is the strength of God (John 1:1-3; Hebrews 4:12). Through the word, God had done all He had done. God’s word says, without Him, nothing else was created (John 1:3). When a man, therefore, distances himself from the Word of God, such is distancing himself from his source, He will lack the strength of God.

The trick of the devil today is to make us feel our work is more important than our God. He tells us it is our work that gives us the income we have. So, we cannot afford to play with our work in the name of God. Note that the lies of the devil is always half-truth, so we could be confused to accept them (John 8:44). Yes, our work is so important because that is where we earn a living but not more important than God who is the source of your strength or energy to work (John 15:5).

So many believers under this lie of the devil use the excuse of their work not to have time to read and meditate on the word of God. That is why it is easy for many people who have been great up there to suddenly come down. The truth is that when they were up, they never fed on what would sustain their lifting. Jesus said Without Him we can do nothing.

Be careful not to keep celebrating your current level and forget to build up in God for a higher place of life. In the word of God is your strength (Joshua 1:8). Never allow a day to pass without taking it as a meal, and you will keep growing in strength. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always love your word.

“LIVING BY BREAD ALONE MAKES MAN A BREAD FOR THE ENEMY.”

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.
