N.O.W. Devotionals
Nutrients of Worship (N.O.W.)
As God's children, our worship should be lived out!
These scriptures are much needed vitamins and nutrients to aid our healthy walk with Christ.  They provide strength, encouragement, conviction and direction for our spiritual lives. 

Featured writer, Willie "Reco" Hight

Luke 9:49-50  "Master", said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us." "Do not stop him, " Jesus said, "for whoever is not against you is for you."

Christians spend an awful lot of time arguing and accusing each other on views of scripture.  We are guilty of tearing down those who are like minded more than building them up.  And often we swallow the notion that our interpretation is full proof/without flaw - therefore we then become the standard due to our knowledge of God (so we think). 

The disciples were quarreling amongst themselves wondering which would be known as "Mr. Big."  While they were trying to figure out which one would be the greatest, they encountered a man trying to drive a demon out of someone in the name of Jesus, and they tried to stop this.  Does this sound familiar?  It's sad, but yet this lesson is still not learned today.  Look at the many different congregations or divisions of Christians today.  If we're honest, it's possible that it's because we either wanted to be more than the next follower, or we wanted to see them as someone not worthy to carry our abilities/understanding. 

Thank God for a Savior who replied so direct, "if anyone is not against you, he is for you!" We must learn to build each other up and know that God loves us all the same, and He has a path and purpose for us all.  Be careful  not to be concerned with what you're supposed to be doing (who you are) in life and be more concerned with the One (God) who gave and gives you life.  For when we do this, we discover peace, prayer, and praise.  It's a privilege to see others raising the banner of Christ, let's encourage one another more. 

It's all about and because of Jesus,
Reco
