JOY OF PARENTS

  JOY OF PARENTS Proverbs 15:11-21 “A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother” (V.20). NKJV One of the things that brings perpetual joy and gladness to parents at their old age is the lives of their children. When a man sees his children living right, prospering and serving God, it brings great joy that no one can take away from him. Many parents are living in sadness because of the terrible lives the children are living, but the truth is that they never invested the “wisdom” of the word of God in these children when they were young. They left these children to live their lives the way they wanted, now the consequences are manifesting. Beloved, if you want to have joy in your old age, plant into your children now the word of God that can make them wise, and when they are wise and behave wisely, your joy will know no bounds. Prayer: Lord, help me to raise Godly children. “YOUR CHILDREN ARE YOUR TREASURES”

JUSTIFICATION

JUSTIFICATION

Romans 2:1-15
Dev:- for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; (v.13)


    Every kingdom citizen must seek to be justified before the Lord. To be justified is to be made right before God. It is only those who are made right with God that can be right before God. If anyone is not right before God, he/she cannot see God. This is the important of justification.

In the Old Testament the children of Israel were justified by obeying the law. And because no one could perfectly obey the law, no one could be justified by the law (Galatians 3:11). If you obey nine out of ten, you cannot be justified and it therefore made it difficult to attain.

The New Testament offers man justification by faith without the law (Romans 3:28). It is by faith in the finished work of the cross. We believe that Jesus died and rose for us. In this we believe if we sin the blood of Jesus cleanses us (1 John 1:7-9). We are justified before God as we accept forgiveness of our sins by our faith on the work of the cross. By this we have peace with God (Romans 5:1). We don't have to go about feeling guilty of sin when we have repented (turn away) from them. As we repent and forsake sin, we receive forgiveness through Christ Jesus. We are justified and made right with God by faith in Christ Jesus. Peace!

Prayer: Lord help me to receive your justification by faith.

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.
