  SETBACK Genesis 39:10-21 Devotional:- “Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison” (v.20) NKJV Most people do not yet understand that what we call a setback, a lot of time is a set-up to set us to our top. Setback, as viewed by people, is demotion, but it is rather an opportunity to retreat and re-fire for greater victory. When the purpose of a thing is not known, men are bound to abuse it. Today, we read about Joseph, who was thanking God for being promoted from a slave to a house overseer. He always tried to put his best into his assignment, and by this, he always had joy. At this time, the enemy wanted to damage his testimony by the temptation of sin, but he stood his ground for God (2 Timothy 2:22). But then he faced something like a demotion to prison. This looks like an act of wickedness from God that he was trying to please, but Joseph knew that there is a price for righteo...

PRINCIPLES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

PRINCIPLES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Devotional:- “Even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference” (V. 22)

    Reading through the scriptures, you will discover that God honors the righteous (Genesis 7:1). Because of this, men of old always want to do all in their power to live a righteous life before God and man. In most cases, people always misinterpret righteousness to be moral. That is why today, people want to kill others because they think they are not righteous, forgetting that the act of killing is also the act of unrighteousness. It is therefore important that we understand the principles of righteousness.

The word of God therefore revealed to us the principles of righteousness. It is built on submission and allowing God to lead our lives. The word of God says Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness (Genesis 15:6). So, the first step into righteousness is to believe God (Hebrews 11:6). This is because faith in the word of God always makes us to obey God.

A righteous man Is therefore the one that always live according to the will of God. He/she is the one that fear God and always shun evil (Job 28:28). This is because he/she knows the consequences of sin. He/she knows that sin will disconnect from God and the grace of God (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-2). That is why our righteousness should not be built on culture, tradition or religion but standing right with God. This is what will make your relationship to be the best. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always obey you.

“IT IS NOT HE THAT IS RIGHT, BUT HE THAT IS RIGHTEOUS”

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.

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.

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.
