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...

FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-8
Devotional:- “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." (V. 8) NKJV


    Anyone who wants to be vessels unto honour is seeking to be used by the Lord. God will have to dwell in you before He starts to use you. God is a Spirit (John 4:24). That is why someone who wants to be a vessel unto honour must be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Jesus told the disciples that they should not venture to do the work of God unless they are filled with the Holy Spirit. The difference became so clear and the effect of their ministry became so powerful after the day of Pentecost. Everyone is controlled by the spirit in them. As a believer, we must therefore ensure that all the members of our household are filled with the Holy Spirit. So that no one around us will be a vessel for the devil.

Friend, don’t let socialism distract you from the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of all vessels of honour. Someone like Apostle Peter was a failure in business but the Holy Spirit made the difference in his life (Luke 5:1-11; Act 2:38-41). Most of the disciples were not as educated, but the Spirit makes the difference in their lives (Acts 4:13-14). To be an honorable the Spirit of God must dwell in you. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, let your Spirit dwell in me always.

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.
