STOP SAYING "I CAN'T

*HIS VOICE DEVOTIONAL

 July 13, 2020

 
 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. 

 Bible Reading: Numbers 13:1-33.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

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...
