Devotion

Remain In God
 
1 John 2:27 (NIV) As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.
 
As a recap: Joseph taught young Jesus the tools and techniques of a carpenter’s trade. Jesus, in turn, used his carpenter skills to build people – the church. Now over two thousand years later, Jesus continues to build His church! This is so inspiring, because it shows us that the skills we are gifted with can have an everlasting potential for good in the earth when we submit them to God and operate through Him by the authority and influence of His Kingdom principles. Everyone has a unique ability in some area of service, but its effectiveness and longevity is lost when it’s misused. There is an anointing that flows with works that are connected to the will of God. What are your abilities? No matter what capacity of service you provide, keep yourself rooted in the Word of God – remain in God - so that the world may experience what you have to offer.
