  POWERFUL NAME Psalms 20:1-9 Devotional:- “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God..” (v.7) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional POWERFUL NAME Pastor Remi Agbabiaka  ·  Psalms 20:1-9 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Be careful not to become too advanced in knowledge to neglect the power of God. The kingdom of God is for those who are poor in spirit (Matthew 5:3), that is, those who are simple enough to accept the simplicity of God without denying the power in it. Unless you take the kingdom as children, you may not be able to enjoy the best of it. This is because many have become so used to the name of Jesus that it has lost its power to them. The scripture described the name as a strong tower (Proverbs 18:10). When you run into it, you shall be saved. Therefore, you ...

WHAT IS RIGHTEOUSNESS? 

Scripture Reading: Psalm 15:1-5
Devotional NKJV :- “He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart;” (v. 2)

    The dictionary defines righteousness as adhering or conforming to the acceptable norm or moral standard. The world standard of righteousness is not the same as the righteousness of God. There are laws that were made in some nations of the world to approve what God disapproved. For example: That a law made homosexuality acceptable in some country does not make it righteous before God. For any practice to be righteous, it must agree with the word of God.

From the scripture we read today, we saw that righteousness of God is uprightness, justice, integrity, honesty, faithfulness and more before God. As believers, God commanded us to be righteous because righteousness is the nature of God (Matthew 5:48). To have the nature of man, we were born of man, but to have the nature of God we must be born of God (John 3:3-6)

Righteousness is having a right standing with God (Gen.17:1). In other word, this is aligning our life with that of God so that His glory can be seen in us. Just like the moon that reflects the glory of the sun. Jesus shed His blood to purchase the righteousness of God for all who will believe in Him (Romans 3:21-26). It is the righteousness of God through Christ that saves us (1 John 1:7-9). So when God see us He sees His righteousness in us. This makes us to be able to stand before God without guilt (Romans 5:1). No religion practices can give righteousness (Isaiah 64:6). It can be found when the blood of Jesus cleanses you (1 John 1:7-9). By this we are qualify for all God’s goodness. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to be partaker of your righteousness 

“Only righteousness can stand before God”

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.
