  PROMISES Isaiah 55:1-13  Devotional:- “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (V.11) NKJV One thing that is common with lovers are promises. It is part of what a true lover will want to hear. To a true lover, a promise is like a cheque capable of turning into cash. So when people who love us promise us, we cherish the promises. And when we remember them, it gladdens our heart. We even sometime feel happy enough to share it with other friends. One other terrible thing that is common with people is failing to fulfill promises. That is why it will be unwise to marry someone based on mare promises. These failure in promises of people, in some cases, are due to the inadequacy of human strength, or unforeseen circumstances that can overtake the promises, so the promised often feel deceived. But God is not like man. He will fulfill all that He ha...

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.

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 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.
