RIGHTEOUSNESS

  RIGHTEOUSNESS 2 Corinthians 5:14-21  Devotional:- “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (V. 21) NKJV It is because of the love of God that we are called the people of God today (Romans 9:25). This has created an eternal problem for the devil. In the Old Testament, many people tried to please God, but they were not able, and this brought destruction upon them. The Bible mentioned that Jesus, when He died, went to hell to free the saints (1 Peter 3:19). These are men who had lived all their lives to obey the law, yet were not able to reach the mark of righteousness. Today, the righteousness they were not able to attain, we have effortlessly attained. This is not because we are better than they were, but because we are children born in due season. This is the righteousness referred to in the scripture as imputed righteousness (Romans 4:6-8). This righteousness is given to us through faith in the Lord Jesus Chri...

FAVOUR OF GOD

FAVOUR OF GOD            

1 Samuel 2:12-26
Devotional:- “And the child Samuel grew on and in favor both with the Lord, and men (V. 26) NKJV

    You need to know that your God is a God of favor. That is, it is in His habit to always favor His people. When a man is walking in the will of God, he will sooner or later start to enjoy God's favor. And when a man enters God's favor all things around him will gain a new turn.

The family of Eli was the family chosen by the Lord to forever be the priesthood family in God's house. But started changing it when it came to Eli. This was because he did not quickly correct his children in the evil they were committing in the house of the Lord. God was not happy with Eli and his children. But as this family was facing the anger of God, Samuel was been favored by the Lord. Though he was supposed to be an errant boy to Eli and his family, but God's favor lifted him.

Friend, you are the next in line to be favored by the Lord (Psalm 102:13). All you need to do is to humble yourself to listen and obey God's instruction. Make yourself available to serve in His house like Samuel did. And you will start to enjoy His favor (Psalms 5:12). When God's favor comes you will begin to enjoy the blessings you do not deserve. And you will be blessed.

Prayer: Lord, bring me by grace into your favor.

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.
