A CHOSEN PEOPLE

A CHOSEN PEOPLE Deuteronomy 7:4-11 Devotional:- “…the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth…” (V.6)      The basic challenge we are facing that does not make us understand our new position in Christ is that of misunderstanding how we become a child of God. Because we do not understand what it takes, many don’t even value it. So they easily throw it off their mind. Many today are not holding on to their faith and are easily discouraged simply because they lack understanding of the richness of their choice. Some also put up some pride and some show up because they think they were qualified.

OLD AND NEW

OLD AND NEW

Scripture Reading: Hebrews 8:7-13
Devotional:- “For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.” (V. 7) NKJV

    Whenever you open your Bible, you see Old Testament and New Testaments. The word testament is the same as covenants. It is therefore old covenants and new covenants. The old covenant is a shadow for the new. In other word, what God gave us in the new covenant have preparation shadow effect that is made substantial in the New Testament.

In the Old Covenant, it was the life of the animals that have been sacrificed. Thereby, some men have taken it to be a little thing to do. So, they know when they sin, it is a matter of an animal and God will overlook. In the New Testament is sealed by the blood of Jesus. That is why after been saved, you cannot keep going back to sin, else, the person may lose the grace of salvation (Romans 6:1-2; Luke 9:62).

Jesus said “He has not come to abolish the Old Testament but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). The blood of Jesus that purchase God’s covenant right for us has given us the grace of God which gives us access to the blessing of God not withstanding our past as long as we repent. All blessings both in the old and new are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21). Just do your part of the covenant to obey the Lord in all you do. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be faithful to be able to enjoy all your blessings.

“ALL HAVE BEEN PAID FOR, JUST DO YOUR PART”

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.

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.

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.
