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...

QUALITY WORK

Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 3:8-17
Devotional:- “each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is” (V. 13) NKJV


    It is important that we keep it in our heart that our labour is not in vain in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58). There is nothing anyone does for God that will not be rewarded, if it is done faithfully. Knowing that God will surely reward us calls for effectiveness, persistency and faithfulness. 

The word of God told us that the foundation of all we are called to do is Christ. Nothing should be added or subtracted from Jesus. So that our work can be rewarded. The Bible says “we should watch what we are building on the foundation. Someone may be building gold kind of work; others may be building at the silver level, others as precious stones while others as wood hay or straw. 

Friend, let us build quality service in God. Let your work not be likened to hay or straw or grass when others are building with gold. All of this talks about the quality of our work before God. This quality is determined by our commitment and loyalty to God, our persistency and faithfulness. Stop looking at man to serve the Lord. From today start to give quality services to God wherever you are. Your reward will come in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to continue faithfully

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.
