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...

BE THE BEST

Daniel 1:6-21
Devotional:- “And in all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king examined them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers who were in all his realm” (v. 20) NKJV

    The Holy Spirit is the spirit of excellence. Everyone who walks faithfully with the Holy Spirit will always be the best in whatever they do. One of the assignments of the Holy Spirit is to make you the best in your family, your endeavours or even in your ministry.

To be the best is to stand out. It is to be above (Deuteronomy 28:13). It is to be particularly different (1Peter 2:9). It is to be unstoppable and to keep moving ahead of others. God by His Spirit made Abraham to be the best in his time (Genesis 21:22-23).  Isaac was the best in his time (Genesis 26:28-29). David was also the best in his time (Psalm 119:97-100). And Daniel also was the best (Daniel 1:2; 6:3)

If we are going to be the best like all these people, then we must embrace the Holy Spirit like they did. This is because the Holy Spirit gives divine ideas. He put in us the desire to achieve something glorious, He act as catalyst to the development of right and excellent attitude for possibility (Zechariah 4:6). His divine ideas make us to overcome limiting forces (Genesis 41:39-40). The second factor that will make us to be the best is the Spirit of wisdom (Isaiah 11:2-3). He helps to demonstrate the grace and the best of God in our services till we are needed everywhere and made us great. Peace! 

PRAYER: Lord, make me the best by your Spirit.

“ONLY THE SPIRIT FROM ABOVE THAT CAN MAKE THE BEST”

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.
