OUR ROCK

  OUR ROCK Psalms 18:1-3 Devotional:- Lord is my rock and my fortress and deliverer…” (V.2) One of the love emblems to us is that He is our rock. He is known as the rock of ages. Because He loves us, He is always there for us. Rock is a symbol of strength and confidence. The cleft of the rock is always a beautiful place of refuge. Water from the rock is always pure and cool. As part of His love for us, He has become our rock (I Corinthians 10:4). He is the rock of our salvation, of our peace and protection. The bird eagle lives on the rock above the reach of the enemy. The water on it is refreshing and clean, far above the reach of the dust. The cave of the rock is always very cool and secure, far above the reach of either the arrow of the enemy or the scourging of the sun. This is who Jesus is for us. We may pass through challenges in this world, but we are sure of our victory because the rock is always there for us. He is our trust. He is our stronghold. He will never reject nor ...

OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

Devotional:- “In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely; now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS” (V. 6)

    This generation has enjoyed the best of God so far. But God still has so much of his mercy to bestow on us. This made Him become our righteousness. The righteous is the one who can enjoy the best from God. The righteous is the one who has a right standing with God. They are the ones who in God’s presence are qualified. The truth is that you can hardly find a man who will be qualified by all standards before the Lord. That is why God Himself has become our righteousness. You only cannot continue in sin and still have the righteousness of God (Romans 6:1).

He has given us His righteousness through the Lord Jesus Christ. This is called imputed righteousness (Romans 4:6). The moment a man believes in the Lord Jesus Christ; he has this righteousness. This is not by our making but by the mercy of God (Romans 4:7-8). It is paid for by the death and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Friend, this is the reason why you should not allow the enemy to put you at any corner of condemnation (Romans 8:1). As a child of God, you should not live a life of sin. If not, you will lose this grace (Romans 6: 1). To enjoy the grace to stop sinning, know that God is a just God who will punish everyone who lives in sin. If Christ was punished for your sin, then you cannot keep sinning, else you will be punished. But if you sin, confess them to God and repent of them and you will be forgiven (1 John 1:7-9). And that is all. Never live your life under the torment of condemnation. Don’t listen to the lies of the devil. You can now freely pray and God will answer. You can freely worship God and you will be acceptable. God by His righteousness has covered your sin with the blood of Jesus. The enemy has no right over your life. God has become your righteousness.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always enjoy the confidence of your righteousness.

“WHEN GOD BECOMES YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, YOU CAN NO MORE ABIDE IN SIN”
