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...

CHOOSE YOUR MASTER

Scripture Reading: Joshua 24: 13-20
Devotional:- “And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." (V. 15) NKJV


    God made us to serve Him (Isaiah 43:21). Just like God want us to serve Him, the devil also is looking for who he will use (Deuteronomy 28:47-48). That is why each man should make a choice. You need to choose who will be your master. When people don’t make the choice, they stand on the fence. There are many people in the church today who have not determined who will be the master over their soul.

If a man will be a vessel unto honour, he wants to be a vessel of God. Joshua said “as for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord” that is a decision (Joshua 24:14-15). Jesus said “no one can serve two masters” (Matthew 6:24). It is the devil that uses people for dishonored purposes.

Friend, make your choice, either to be a vessel of God or of the world. I plead with you to choose to be a vessel unto God (Deuteronomy 30:11-20). Only this will make you enjoy the blessings of the Lord. Christianity is a calling unto the serve of the Lord. That is why He is called the Lord. If Jesus is your master, then, you have to submit to Him and obey Him always (Psalm 6:14-16). The moment you have chosen Jesus, you must ask for His leading in all things (John 5:30). And God will ordain you His vessel of honour. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the strength to follow you

“STAND FOR YOUR CHOICE AND YOUR CHOICE WILL STAND FOR YOU”

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.
