  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 WAY TO MORE 

Luke 16:9-13
Dev “Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?” (v. 11)

    Everyone in the world always want more in life. That is why the economist says, human wants are unlimited. It is a beautiful thing to keep increasing and becoming big in life. That is actually the plan of God for all his children (Proverbs 4:18) But this is not just automatic. There are principles that govern more in life.

 

Jesus said if a man is not faithful in life, how can he have more? (Luke 16:11). The principle of more is therefore in we having the character and attitude that is able to manage the little God has given to us. These attitude are self-control, self-discipline, diligence, faithfulness etc. This is the reason we should see ourselves as steward of in charge of the properties of God.

To be faithful in the little mean you are prudent and not wasteful. It means you are using God's resources in your life, not for selfish interest but for the purpose for which God gives you. It means you are using the resources so well that you are affecting others for good and making progress by the little. Stop complaining that what you have is little, start to make the best us of it (Zechariah 4:10) Then you will see God increasing you more and more (Matthew 25:28-29). Peace 

PRAYER- Lord, help me to always use your resources rightly.

“IF YOU ARE NOT OKAY WITH THE LITTLE, YOU ARE NOT READY FOR MORE”

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.
