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...

ETERNAL SPIRIT

Hebrews 9:11-15
Devotional:- “how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?“ (V. 14)

    The Holy Spirit is eternal. That is, He has been before any other spirit existed and He will continue to be, when there is no other Spirit. This means He is older and greater than any other spirit in existence. He is the Spirit of the eternal God who has been in existence in the dateless past and will continue to be when there will be no more time or calendar.

The Holy Spirit is the giver of eternal life (John 6:53-54) only those who are baptized in the Holy Spirit have eternal life. Eternal life is God's kind of life. There are animal lives, and there are human lives and there is God’s life. The God’s kind of life is what is referred to as eternal life. That is why Jesus offered himself through the eternal Spirit. Only the eternal Spirit can defile death and make a man to be back to life (Romans 8:11). This is because eternal life can not be terminated by death.

Friend, without the Holy Spirit, rapture or resurrection to go with Christ will be impossible. That is why you can't just play with the issue of the Holy Spirit the giver of eternal life (John 7:37-39, John 3:16) Let him rule over your heart and eternal life will begin with you from now till eternity. Peace!

Prayer: Holy Spirit, help me never to miss your eternal life

“IF THE HOLY SPIRIT RAISES JESUS FROM THE DEAD, HE WILL RAISE YOU UP AT THE TRUMPET”

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.
