 DON’T BLAME GOD


James 1:12-20
Devotional:- “And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else” (V. 13) NLT

Today, there is so much confusion the enemy places in the heart of men to make them feel that God hate them. So, when people are under the pressure of the flesh to sin, they say “God is tempting me”. When people are weak, they are going to face temptation through their flesh. It wil be wrong to say God is tempting you with sickness or troubles. Yes, God knows about it but He only allows it when we have been warned repeatedly and we refuse to change. He disciplines, but it is necessary for us to know that God is not the author of evil, that is the work of the devil (Hebrews 12:6; Matthew 4:24). 

There is a difference between a test and temptation. To test means to examine or observe if someone is capable of doing something. To tempt means to entice or lure someone into doing something. God do test, but everyman is tempted by his own lust. For example, someone who stole was enticed by the devil. He coveted it and did not caution himself, and at last went to steal. God is not involved in the process, but the enemy took advantage of human weakness. So your weakness is not of God. Neither is your sickness of Him. 

Always call on the Lord to rescue you in the time of temptation. He is our help in times of trouble. But you too must discipline yourself and grow above the influence of the flesh (Romans 8:5-8). This is by daily meditating in the word of God and praying (Galatians 5:16). Friend, do you know that we walk into most of our challenges with our two legs? Accept your fault and ask God for help. Stop blaming Him. God will deliver you from that debt, lust, sicknesses and all your challenges. Remember, Jesus was also tempted as you are, but did not use the occation to sin (Hebrews 4:15). Arise in the faith to resist the devil and you shall be free indeed (John 8:32).

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me to overcome my challenges.
“GOD DOES NOT LOVE OUR PAINS, BUT EXPECT US TO RISE AND CONQUER”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
