PROMOTION

  PROMOTION Psalm 113:1-8 Devotional:- “He raises the poor out of the dust, And lifts the needy out of the ash heap” (v.7) NKJV Observe a joyful man, he will keep going up, and this is because joy makes room for the presence of God (Psalm 16:11). When God is available, He makes the joyful to inherit great places of the earth. We must understand the mystery of joy as affecting our level per time on the earth. In our scripture for today, God’s word says when a man is joyful and praiseful, God will set him on high among the princes. This is because a joyful heart accommodates praises, and where God is praised, God encompasses the place with favour (Psalm 22:3). Observe a happy man or woman; everyone wants to favour him/her. So when joy is available, it will move you to praise God, and your promotion is inevitable  The reason for your current level is directly proportional to your level of joy. If you want to go up, then increase in joy and praises (Isaiah 12:3). See, getting anno...

HIGHER RIGHTEOUSNESS

HIGHER RIGHTEOUSNESS           

Matthew 5:17-19
Devotional Verse:-“Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Vs. 19)

   

    To morally religious-minded people, righteousness is standing right in the view of others who can give good comments about them. They like to be men pleasers. Many people like good comments and recommendations from people, even though they know that most human praise is always not totally true but always exaggerated.     Jesus said that our lifestyles as citizens of the kingdom of God should be beyond human righteousness for us to be partakers of the kingdom of heaven. He also said that He has come to fulfill the Scripture and not to please people. So, obedience to God should be our primary lifestyle as kingdom citizens (Matt. 7:21).
 
    Every part of the Scripture is to be obeyed in the light of this because whatever is commanded in the Old Testament and established in the New Testament is binding on us. The ones we are not expected to obey are the ones in the Old Testament which are not established in the New Testament since we are no more under the law but under grace. Friend, our righteousness should be true to the heart as we do the will of God from the heart. The Holy Spirit is always present to help us. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to be obedient to all your instructions.
 
“HE WHO WALKS IN OBEDIENCE IS WALKING IN WISDOM”.

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
