THANK HIM FOR ALL

  THANK HIM FOR ALL Zechariah 4:1-10 Devotional:- “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; His hands shall also finish it and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you” (V. 9) KJV In such a season as this, one of the weapons of the devil to steal the joy of many is discouragement. The enemy will make them see that God has not been good to them. He will make us to think of what God has not done, and not what He has done. He will make us compare ourselves to others and so one will see other people as better.   God can provide all that you need, and He is not mindful or unfaithful to you. He gave you the one you have today, but all that is good for your life. He will also give you if you can wait on Him by faith. Such time like this should challenge us to become better to do better. Every time you are not happy with your current situation, just know that a change is about to take place in your life. It is now you who will determine ...

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”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
