  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...

HIS COUNSEL STANDS

HIS COUNSEL STANDS

Genesis 45:1-11
Devotional:- “Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph; does my father still live?" But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed in his presence” (V. 3) NKJV

    Sometimes the enemy feels he can stop the counsel of God, but the Bible says the counsel of God shall stand. That is why you need to stand in faith in God's word and not in your experience on earth.

Joseph was a man of many troubles. The enemy used his brothers’ attitude against him in his family with all determination that his dreams would not come to reality (Genesis 37:18-20). God often reveals to him that he will rule over his brothers. As a child of around sixteen, he was not wise enough to have been telling his brothers about his dreams. And he created enmity for himself in the house. They sold him to slavery for money. Because God's counsel cannot fail, he still become ruler in the land of slavery and his brother at last came there to bow to him. He at last ruled over his brothers.

Friend, don't let the enemy turn you into an instrument against anyone else, you may regret doing so. But you need to know also that God’s counsel about you cannot change. He will surely fulfill His word notwithstanding the effort of the enemy. You will surely rule. Just be sure you remain in the will of God and keep serving Him with all faithfulness. At last, your enemies will bow themselves to you. Soon their children will be at your mercy. This is because the counsel of God will surely come to stand in your life.

Prayer: Lord, help me to remain in your will till I will be lifted by your hand.

“GOD IS NOT WAITING FOR ANYONE’S ADVICE, ONLY HIS COUNSEL SHALL STAND”

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.
