SERVING WITH JOY

SERVING WITH JOY Deuteronomy 28:47-52 Devotional:- “Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything” (V.47) NKJV A greater percentage of people do not know what stops their glory. They just suddenly discover that things just stop working out for them. In their ignorance, they accuse God and the devil for their predicament. You need to know from now that one of the things responsible is when people don’t serve with joy. People are always in haste to expect reward for their service. When it looks delayed, they begin to serve with grudges in their mind. God told the Israelites that if they did not serve God with a joyful heart, they would serve their enemy. This is actually too grievous, but men are also not always understanding. Something in us always looks so high that we don’t see what the Lord is doing, but we will always see what he has not done. This makes it difficult to serve with joy. Many are wounded by their delayed ex...

JUSTIFICATION

JUSTIFICATION

Scripture Reading: Romans 3:21-26
Devotional:- “But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,” (V. 24)

    To be justified is to be declared just or righteous before God. The word justification is a legal term used for someone that was first suspected, arrested and accused as an offender (Romans 3:23). When the court session and the judge is sited, they will attempt on go deeper into the case of the accused.

After going through all the relevant evidences that the accused person did not commit that said of fence, the judge now declare the accused justified. That he is free and can no longer be accused of committing the crime. Our accuser before God is devil (Revelation 12:7-10). Jesus is our advocate, our lawyer who stood in the gap for us before God (1 John 2:1). It is Jesus that pays His life as a ransom for our life. He took all our accusation to the cross and cancelled them totally by His blood (Colossians 2:14).  He disarms the power accusing us and justified us. (Colossians 2:15).

Now we are justified freely by faith. We have been made to be at peace with God through Jesus (Romans 5:1). We have been adopted into the beloved of God through Christ Jesus (Galatians 4:4-5). This is the reason we have the right to put on the nature and the righteousness of our father through Christ Jesus. Now, we are free before God. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, help me never to be entangled by sin anymore.

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.
