Theme For Joel Osteen Devotional August 15 2020 – Strengthen Your Brothers
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
Luke 22:31–32, NIV
TODAY’S WORD:
Jesus was telling Peter that forces were trying to keep him from his destiny, but He had prayed for Peter, and he was going to make it through. Then Jesus said something important. “When you have turned again, when you’re out of this trial, when you’re on the other side with the victory, healed, promoted, and restored, then strengthen your brothers.” Whatever God has brought you through, whatever He’s turned around, whatever He’s made happen that you couldn’t make happen, that’s an opportunity to strengthen someone. Every blessing, every healing, every breakthrough was not just designed for you. It was to strengthen your brothers.
We should live on a mission. “I’m out to strengthen someone today. I’m going to encourage someone. I’m going to help heal someone.” If you’ll let it flow to others, tell what God has done, speak life and healing, share your skills, talents, and resources, then there’s no limit to how high God will take you.
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
“Father, thank You for blessing me so that I can bless others. Thank You for helping me to make it through to where I am today and equipping me with what I can use to strengthen others. Help me to find those to whom I can bring Your blessings. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
