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...

IDLENESS

1 Thessalonians 4:9-12
Devotional verse: “that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands as we commanded you” (v. 11)


    It is often said, that an idle hand is the devil’s workshop. When a heart is not occupied with a meaningful assignment, then it’s bound to take junks. There is no vacuum mind, a mind is either occupied with positive or negative activities.
   Idleness is a function of lack of vision and focus. One of the reasons some have become terrible is that they are idle. Our scriptures today teach us to work and be busy in our assignment. We are to determine needed actions for our success and be busy following it. Living in idleness creates room for the enemy to interfere in your affair. Every child of God ought to be running on a vision. 

    In the realm of the spirit, idleness is a dangerous thing. Jesus gave us a parable that when the devil is casted out, he looks for an idle place to stay (Matthew 12:43-45). He will then go to take seven more spirit with himself, and then the end of that man will be terrible. Idleness makes you receive all manner of comments not meant for you. Identify your vision, keep pursuing it, and your life shall be full of great happenings. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, make my life busy for your glory.

“WHAT YOU DON’T USE, YOU WILL LOOSE”.

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.
