  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

RIGHTEOUSNESS

RIGHTEOUSNESS 

Read: Romans 3:21-26
Devotional:- “Even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference” (V.22)

    As army of faith, we must be of good understanding of our righteousness in God. One of the ways the devil easily weaken people’s faith is by condemning them or reminding them of their past sin. So many believer also still operate in the mentality of religion and not faith. Since people think they are humble to always think of their sin whenever there is a challenge, the enemy makes them see themselves as not qualified of any benefit of God. All these are product of ignorance. 

Please understand that Jesus died to pay for our righteousness. We now have a righteousness that is imputed on us as a cloth (Romans 4:20-24). It is now a gift through faith in Christ. You don’t need to work for it neither can flesh attain it. This can only be removed when a man continues in sin (Romans 6:1).

You are no more to be condemned by the devil. Condemnation and confidence cannot co – exist. Stand in the righteousness of Christ. Stop living under the torment of condemnation (Romans 8:1). We are to confess our sin and we receive forgiveness by faith (1 John 1:8-9). Stand strong in your faith in the word of God to resist the devil and it will flee away from you (James 4:7). 

Declaration: I am free from condemnation in Christ 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 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.
