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...

YOUR SOUL

YOUR SOUL

Mark 8:34-38
Devotional:- “Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” (V. 37) NKJV

    Your soul is actually your being. It is the man in you. It is your soul that will stand the judgement of God at the end of life. Your soul is the immaterial part of your life. It is your soul that really drives your life to all you have been doing and will do. It has three compartment. The intellect, the will and the emotion or action drive. Everything you do in this world passes through three compartments of your soul. That is why you are responsible for all your actions. They all pass through processes.

The word of God says “what shall profit a man to loss his soul to the devil in eternity?” Today, many are selling their souls to the devil. The worst of it all is that 90% of the so call Christians has not sold their soul to anyone. They neither sold it to God nor the devil. They have not taken any conscious step to do this.

 Friend, I want to encourage you to give your soul to Jesus. Let Him be the owner and controller of your soul. That way, you will not lose it (Mark 8:36). If your soul is for Jesus, then you will not follow any other but Christ (Matthew 7:21-23). Take time to decide today who will be the owner of your soul. Do this not in words alone but indeed. If all you do are not being controlled by the Lord, then Jesus is not your Lord. Watch out. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to totally surrender my soul unto you.

“WHOEVER YOU OBEY IS THE CONTROLLER OF YOUR SOUL”

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 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.
