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...

SERVING WITH LOVE

Scripture Reading: 1 Peter 4:7-11
Devotional:- “And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins."” (V. 8) NKJV


    It is impossible to faithfully serve without loving. When it comes to serving, no one would love to submit to it except by the love of Christ. This is because; service demands that you relinquishing yourself of your ego to be of assistance to someone. In a natural sense, it looks like demotion. That is why only the humble can serve. To therefore be a vessel unto honour, our service unto God must be with love.

The word of God said we need to have fervent love for each other. One version said we should love as though our live depend on it. Another version said our love for others should be intense and unfailing. It is very easy to serve to show. So that people will credit us for doing well, but the Bible encourages us not to do that (Ephesians 6:5-7). Our service should be unto the Lord whenever we are. We may be serving in our house, office, in the community or in the house of God. We should serve sincerely and with love.

Friend, God will not reward eye service or service out of necessity (Matthew 6:1-2). You need to know that your career or business is also service to God. This is because that business should be bringing honour and glory to God (1 Corinthians 10:31). So love people and not just their money. And God will reward you faithfully (Hebrews 11:6). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to always serve with love.

“SERVING IN LOVE MAKES YOU GIVE YOUR BEST AND GET THE BEST FROM GOD”.

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).

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.
