RIGHTEOUSNESS

  RIGHTEOUSNESS 2 Corinthians 5:14-21  Devotional:- “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (V. 21) NKJV It is because of the love of God that we are called the people of God today (Romans 9:25). This has created an eternal problem for the devil. In the Old Testament, many people tried to please God, but they were not able, and this brought destruction upon them. The Bible mentioned that Jesus, when He died, went to hell to free the saints (1 Peter 3:19). These are men who had lived all their lives to obey the law, yet were not able to reach the mark of righteousness. Today, the righteousness they were not able to attain, we have effortlessly attained. This is not because we are better than they were, but because we are children born in due season. This is the righteousness referred to in the scripture as imputed righteousness (Romans 4:6-8). This righteousness is given to us through faith in the Lord Jesus Chri...

LOVING GOD    

Matthew 22:34-40
Read:    “Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'” (V. 37)


    As you are faced with the New Year ahead, there is a need to grow in your relationship with God. The word of God says the path of the just shines brighter and brighter (Proverbs 4:18). One of the ways to grow in your relationship with God, is to love God more than you have loved Him before. 

 
    The Bible says, we should love the Lord with all our heart, our soul, and with our entire mind. This means we should grow to live a life of total love for God. Our love to God is evident when we obey His instructions (John 14:23). Our love to God is evident in how much we love each other (1 John 4:8). We can demonstrate our love for God by serving in His kingdom. If we love Him, there will be nothing too big to give for the growth of His kingdom (John 3:16).
 
    Be willing to give your heart to Him (Proverbs 23:26). Be willing to invest time in serving the Lord; be willing to serve in one department or the other in the house of the Lord. Be a soul winner with all excitement. (Proverbs 11:30). This year, He will surprise you with His loving kindness. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to truly live in your love for my life.
 
“LIVING IN LOVE IS LIVING IN GOD”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
