  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...

SPIRIT OF HOLINESS

SPIRIT OF HOLINESS

Romans 1:1-7
Devotional:- “and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead” (V. 4)

    The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Holiness. Without the Holy Spirit no man will be able to walk perfectly before the Lord. Our mind cannot walk in the way of holiness without the help of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 8:4-8). That is why no man will be able to stand before the Holy God without the Holy Spirit. The word of God says “nothing unholy will be allowed before God (Hebrews 12:14). He is an holy God (1 Peter 1:15-16). And the Holy Spirit is a spirit of Holiness.

The Holy Spirit work in submissive believer to make him or her holy. This is by guiding into all truth (John 16:13). This He does by leading us into the will of God. Whenever we obey the leading of the Holy Spirit, we please the Lord (Romans 8:14). That is why as believer, we must allow the leading of the Holy Spirit over all our activities.

This is very important because there is nothing unholy that will enter heaven (Revelation 22:15). When the Holy Spirit is directing your way, He will only direct you to Holy decision (Psalms 23:1-3). Even if He leads you into what looks unacceptable to you or people around you, it will still be acceptable to God. Example is when Jesus cane people out of the temple and turn their table (Matthew 21:12-13; Romans 8:33-34). That is why only the Holy Spirit can make Holy before God. Peace

PRAYER: Holy Spirit, help me t walk with you to be holy

“HOLINESS IS ONLY BY THE HOLY SPIRIT”

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 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.
