  SUBMIT TO HIM John 14:12-24  “Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (V. 23) NKJV   Sometimes on the platform of love, there is nothing men cannot offer to one another. If you truly love a man you will not want to reject or disobey him. You will want to do as much as it is in your capacity. You will not want to turn him down. Can you imagine how strictly you want to keep to an appointment with a loved one? If we have attached so much importance to responding to our lover, how much more God. If you truly love God it will be natural for you to submit to His will. You will not need to argue or ask too many questions. It will be a pleasure submitting to His will. Jesus said in the scripture we read today, if anyone loves me he will keep my words. In other word he will submit or obey my word. Then the reward here is that the father will also love such one i...

RIGHTEOUSNESS

RIGHTEOUSNESS 

Scripture Reading: 2 Timothy2:11-19 
Devotional:- Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity." (V. 19) NKJV

    The word of God says “God does not listen to the prayers of sinners” So also the praises of sinners (Psalm 66:18). If our praises will be acceptable before God, then we must first deal with the issues of sin. God and sin are not friendly. That is why the praises of sinners will not produce anything in God. No matter how sweet or melodious the songs are, it does not matter to God if our heart is not for Him.

This therefore demand that you purge yourself before the Lord (2 Timothy 2:21). Be humble to acknowledge your wrong doings before Him. Don't pretend (Proverbs 28:13). Genuinely repent before the Lord and ask Him for the grace to overcome sin (1 John 1:7-9). He will have mercy on you and forgive you (Isaiah 55:7).

This accept of His righteousness is by faith in the work of the Cross. (Philippians3:9). This an imputed righteousness that is a gift for a repented sinner. (Romans 4:6-8). To keep this righteous garment, we have to keep obeying the Lord (Psalm 119:9), Then your praises will be acceptable to God. Grace.

PRAYER: Lord, let there be mercy for my soul before you

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.
