  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...

GOD OF INCREASE

1 Corinthians 3:1-7    Devotional:- "I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase” (V. 6) NKJV


     Sometime, we could be unhappy and discouraged when our expectation seems delayed. When a man is laboring, he will set his mind on the harvest. Result is one major instrument that motivates us to intensify our effort. There is tendency to be discouraged, hope seems deferred (Proverbs 13:12)

There is therefore a strong need for us to know that, we are co-laborer with God (1 Corinthians 3:9). He is the God of increase. He is the one that determines when and what type of increase anyone will experience. Someone may have his work to just plant, another may just be called to water and others to harvest. The entire business belongs to us. All of us will have to be harvester. It is the one that harvest that seems to be rich.

Friend, please be of understanding that God do not call all of us to do the same thing. Your friends work may be to harvest, while yours may be to plant. Don’t quit because of that. Remain faithful; your own increase will come. God will not disappoint you. In case your assignment is hidden, remain faithful and you will see the faithfulness of God. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be faithful till I see my increase.

“IT IS AS YOU DON’T GIVE UP, THAT YOU MOVE UP”

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.
