  THINK FORWARD John 6:3-13 Devotional:- “…gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost” (V.12) KJV  Coming to a period like this, so many people have gathered so much to be enjoyed. This time also, so many homes enjoy so much of abundance of many good things. The government also releases more money to the Society in form of incentives for their staffs and benefactors. Most country enjoys abundance in their society at this time. But only few people think forward that they should not finish it all now. It is this lack of wisdom that makes many to lack at the beginning of every year. But you should be wise. In the scripture we read today, even though God has provided abundantly for the people to eat yet Jesus knew it is wisdom not to waste the remnant. So He asked them to gather it. This will at last meet the need of another time for other people (Proverbs 13:22-25). Friend, don’t eat and waste everything in this season, learn to keep Something for the coming year s...

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”

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.

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.
