  LOVE OF GOD I John 4:7-19 Devotional:- “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God” (V. 7) NIV You can hardly separate these two virtues; they are love and joy. They work together as twin brothers. You cannot love and not be joyful. In this season of joy, one of the things you must give room to for your joy to come is love. If you were not billing to love, you may not see joy. They have the same source; they both come from God (Psalm 16:11, 1 John 4:8) The scripture we read today said, Love comes from God and love is God. This means God cannot be in you and you can still hate. If you do, it is a sign that you are not born of God. You cannot be stealing and cheating, and you say you are a child of God. The bible teaches us how to truly demonstrate love. This is by following the example of God. He demonstrated His own love by giving us His most precious gift, Jesus Christ. Love and giving have the same mea...

RIGHTEOUSNESS

RIGHTEOUSNESS

Romans 3:21-26
Devotional:- “even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;” (V. 22) NKJV

    As an army of faith, we must have of good understanding of our righteousness in God. One of the ways the devil easily weakens people’s faith is by condemning them or reminding them of their past sins. So many believers also still operate in the mentality of religion and not faith. Since people think they are humble enough to always think of their sins whenever there is a challenge, the enemy makes them see themselves as not qualified for any benefit of God. All these are products of ignorance.

Please understand that Jesus died to pay for our righteousness. We now have a righteousness that is imputed on us as a cloth (Romans 4:20-25). It is a gift through faith in Christ. It is not of work neither can flesh attain it. This can only be removed when a man continues in sin (Romans 6:1). The life of a child of God should not be a life of sin (1 John 3:7-9). When a son of God sins the word of God instructs us to repent and ask for forgiveness in the name of Jesus. And the blood of Jesus will clean us (1 John 1:7-9). God no longer remembers such sin anymore (Romans 4:7-8).

You are no more to be condemned by the devil. Condemnation and confidence cannot co-exist. Stand in the righteousness of Christ. Stop living under the torment of condemnation (Romans 8:1). We are to confess and repent our sins and we receive forgiveness (1 John 1:8-9). Stand strong to resist the devil and it will always flee from you (James 4:7).

Declaration: I am free in Christ Jesus.

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.
