God Has Solutions to Our Problems: Devotion for Sunday August 9, 2020

MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL

Devotion for Sunday August 9, 2020

Topic: God Has Solutions to Our Problems       

Text: Numbers 11:16 – 20                                 

To solve the immediate problem raised by Moses, God ordered him constitute an order of seventy elders, either by a selection from the existing staff of elders or by the appointment of new ones, to be empowered to assist him by their collective wisdom and experience in the onerous cares of government.

The Jewish writers say that this was the origin of the Sanhedrin, or supreme appellate court of their nation which also consists of 70 men. God’s promise of coming down was not in the physical form. What the Spirit God talks about in Numbers 11:17 means the gifts and influences of the Spirit (Numbers 27:18; Joel 2:28; John 7:39; 1 Corinthians 14:12).

God also gave solution to the need of meat they people were cried for (Numbers 11:18 – 20). Unfortunately, God purpose to give them meat to eat until it become loathsome to them. “What people impatiently and wickedly desire, God sometimes suffers them to have, and to abuse to their ruin” so says Family Bible Note.

Our God has answers and solutions to all our problems. This should strengthen our faith in Him. What are the problems you are currently facing and thinking that there is no way out? God has answers to them. Is it in your career, school, business, office, etc.? God is ever willing to answer you.

The meat will be loathsome to them because they despised the Lord who was among them, and have wept before Him, saying, "Why did we ever come up out of Egypt?” That was a mark of ingratitude. Do you despise God simply because you are not happy with Him? Repent today.  

Food for Thought: "For with God nothing will be impossible” – Luke 1:37

Memory verse: Jeremiah 32:27 - Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?

Prayer: In time of difficulties and crises, help me O Lord to look up to you because you alone can solve all the problems of life.

Use Your Wealth Rightly: Devotion for Easter Eve Saturday April 11, 2020

MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL

Devotion for Easter Eve Saturday April 11, 2020

Topic: Use Your Wealth Rightly                         

Text: Matthew 27: 57 – 66

Joseph from Arimathea had become a disciple of Jesus. He was a member of the Sanhedrin, Council of Jewish leaders. According to Luke, he was a good and just man, who never consented to their decision to kill Jesus. He was also waiting for the Kingdom of God (Luke 23:50, 51). This was the man God used to give Jesus a befitting burial.

Jesus acquaintances (v49) stood afar off; they had no money to bear the charge neither the courage to bear the odium of burying Him decently; but God raised one that had both. Why did God, chose Joseph to bury Jesus Christ? It was because he made himself available for God to use. Again, if the known disciples were the ones that asked for His body, it would have been hard for them. God is wisdom and He does His things wisely.

Despite his riches, he was humble enough to serve God. The reason he went and asked for the body of Jesus was because he wants to bury it honourably otherwise, by the Jewish customs; He would have either been burned, or buried in the common place appointed for executed criminals.

Are you rich? Does your wealth control you or you control your wealth? What areas do you channel your riches – to intimidate neighbours, to abuse people or to help the needy and humanity? Joseph of Arimathea showed he loved God. What about you?

Food for Thought: “He that will not permit his wealth to do any good to others while he is living prevents it from doing good to himself when he is dead” – Colton.

Memory verse: Matthew 27:28

Prayer: Lord, grant me the right understand of the essence of wealth and talent you have bestowed on me so I can use them to your praise and glory.

HE HAS SOLUTIONS TO OUR PROBLEMS: Devotion for Tuesday July 12, 2016

Text: Numbers 11:16 – 20                 

Memory verse: Numbers 11:17 - "Then I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit that is upon you and will put the same upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you may not bear it yourself alone.”

To solve the immediate problem raised by Moses, God ordered him to constitute an order of seventy elders, either by a selection from the existing staff of elders or by the appointment of new ones, to be empowered to assist him by their collective wisdom and experience in the onerous cares of government. The Jewish writers say that this was the origin of the Sanhedrin, or supreme appellate court of their nation which also consists of 70 men. God’s promise of coming down was not in the physical form. The spirit God talked about in 11:17 means the gifts and influences of the Spirit (Num. 27:18; Joel 2:28; Jn. 7:39; 1 Cor. 14:12). He also gave solution to the need of meat they people cried for (11:18–20). Unfortunately, God purposed to give them meat to eat until it become loathsome to them. “What people impatiently and wickedly desire, God sometimes suffers them to have, and to abuse to their ruin” so says Family Bible Note.

Our God has answers and solutions to all our problems. This should strengthen our faith in Him. What are the problems you are currently facing and thinking that there is no way out? God has answers to them. Is it in your career, school, business, office, etc? God is ever willing to answer you.
