STOP SAYING "I CAN'T

*HIS VOICE DEVOTIONAL

 Text : Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

 All things means ALL. Not just easy things, or convenient things, but all things, in as much as Christ is the one strengthening you. As believers, we may be quick to make this confession( in order to boost our faith) when we desire something good for ourselves- a good job, proposing to your fiancee, going for interview and the likes. Beautiful as this is, I need you to know that you should also do same when you need to overcome terrible habits or temptation. Some years back, I was in a wrong relationship and I know God wanted me out of it, but my flesh was defiant. One fine afternoon while I was praying, I kept saying to myself that "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." I kept repeating this, knowing well that I was referring to that issue of breaking up with that "wrong person". And that was how I received the strength to take the right step in the right direction. The moment you said 'you can't', you've sent message to your brain and the rest of your body and in addition, the rest of your environment to set things things in motion to ensure that you can't and you won't. Stop saying you can't do something that God had given you Grace and strength to do. The people who change the world are people who have taken impossible out of their dictionary. *With God nothing is impossible.If God is with you, then, nothing shall be impossible for you. Stop saying you can't because YOU CAN* . Luke 1:37.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
