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...

THE POTTER

Scripture Reading: Romans 9:16-26
Devotional:- “Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?”  (V. 21) NKJV  


    You need to always remember that God is your maker. He is the potter. He made each one to fulfill different purposes. You therefore need to search out to know what He made you to be. None of us has the right to complain (1 Corinthians 10:10). We are individually made to fit into different functions but all according to His designs.

The scripture says He made some to be vessel of honour and others to be vessels unto dishonor. If He decides to make you vessel of wrath, what will you do for Him. None of us can fight Him. There is no court or any judge that you can file your case between you and Him.

That is why you and I need to be grateful to Him for making us vessel of His mercy first and then vessel unto honour (Romans 9:23-24). We that have no standing with God have been made to be called His people. It is important that you cherish this. Make yourself available to be used by Him. You have received His mercy through Christ and now you will receive His honour in Jesus’ name. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to play with my honour in you.

“YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST OF HIS CREATURE”

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.
