GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

PURSUE HOLINESSS

PURSUE HOLINESSS

Scripture Reading: Hebrews 12:12-17
Devotional:- “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:” (V. 14) NKJV


    Holiness is the standard of God’s attitude. That is why the Bible says that “God is a Holy God” (Leviticus 19:2). Holiness is perfection. It is living without a blemish. It is living a life of total surrendered life unto God. This is a life that is always obedience unto God in all things. It is a life totally separated and sanctified unto God (Romans 12:1). 

Surely, this is not an experience expected from a baby Christian. Yet, it is expected from a mature Christian. The word of God says “nothing unholy will enter heaven” (Revelation 21:8). And, if heaven is our destination, then we must pursue to live a life of holiness unto God. To pursue is to run after something (1 Peter 1:15). It is to set it as a goal and work toward it. We are not to put it aside thinking that it is not possible. 

Friend, you and I will need to pursue holiness to see God. To pursue means, to make it our target. To always aim at it. While we are yet to get there, we don’t relax. We make it part of our life race. So that, we can be an acceptable vessel to God. We must be careful not to fall short of the grace of God. We must flee from bitterness and pursue peace with people and holiness. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to keep pursuing peace and holiness.

“IT IS WHAT YOU KEEP PURSUING THAT WILL KEEP PURSUING YOU”
