  SPECIAL CHILDREN Proverbs 23:15-25  Devotional:- “Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the LORD all the day” (V.17) NKJV Today, the lives of children in most nations are becoming a great trouble. Many parents have lost control of their children. But in the midst of these hopeless situations of the future generation, yet some children allow the word of God to rule their lives, such children have the fear of God in them. These are children who keep a wise heart and who have learnt the right use of their lips. Who don’t open their lip to speak just anything but the truth and wisdom (Proverbs 23:16). These are children who don’t envy the way of sin, nor do they get themselves involved in the sinful nature of this generation. Rather, they fear the Lord, and this affects everything they do (Proverbs 23:17). Most of the youths of this day go into untimely relationships and cheating everywhere because of fear of failure and fear of tomorrow. But these p...

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.

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.
