  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...

YOUR POSSESSION

YOUR POSSESSION 

Luke 12:13-21
Dev. “But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?'” (v. 20)

    The word of God says all that we have are given to us by God (John 3:27). That makes all that we have to belong to God automatically (Psalm 24:1). And if our procession is from the Lord and belongs to God, then they are trusted into our hands as stewards. This then demand that we manage them with a sense of stewardship in the fear of the Lord.

The man we read about today in the scripture, does not realize he was a steward unto God. He took what he had to be personal possession. He lost a sense of accountability. He became too personal with what he has and God was not pleased. At the end he lost not only his possession but also his soul. (Mark 8:36)

Friend the word of God says the fear of the Lord is wisdom (Job 28:28). Please do not forget that we brought nothing to the world and we shall leave with nothing. Therefore treat what God has given you with the fear of the Lord. Love the Lord with what you have and love your Neighbour with it. The Lord will keep blessing you in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to trade my soul with material things.

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.
