CHOICE OF JOY Acts 16:20-30 Devotional:- “But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.” (V.25) NKJV So many people in this world have not woken up to the fact that the way they live is their choice. One of the greatest errors is to think that the situation a man finds himself, is the determining factor of his life. This is not true. Please come to an awareness of this truth from now on: that you are living as you have chosen to live. Get to know that you are a creature of choice. Whatever your choice is, that is your lot. God chooses no evil for anyone in life (Jeremiah 29:11). Whether you are happy or not, whether you are rich or not, whether you are healthy or not, it is your choice; if you decide otherwise from now and stand by your decision, things will change for you. Paul and Silas were in prison because of the gospel of Jesus Christ, but they had the right understanding that their circumstances should not determi...

IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS

IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS

Scripture Reading: Romans 4:1-8 
Devotional:- “Just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:” (V.6)

    All believers need to understand that our walk in the righteousness of God is in two dimensions. The fundamental truth is that righteousness is of God. No man can be righteous before Him (Isaiah 64:6; Psalm 143:2) Jesus came to shed His blood to purchase the righteousness of God for us (Romans 5:17-20)

This righteousness of God is given to us through the death and resurrection of Jesus. He took our place by dying for us and now we live in the sight of God wearing the righteousness of God. This righteousness is imputed on us as a garment as we give our life to Jesus by faith in the work of the Cross (Romans 13:21-22; 10:10)

All kingdom citizens must always put on this righteousness by faith. It is a spiritual cloth over our soul and not the white garment some wear to church and put off another time. We must put it on always by faith (Galatians 3:27). When God look at you, He sees His nature and His righteousness in you. It is your dress code for your security here, to access God’s goodness and to access heaven (Isaiah 3:10; Rev.19:8)

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always wear your righteousness by faith in Christ.

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.
