  FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD Romans 5:1-11 Devotional:- “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (V. 10)  As a kingdom citizen please known that God wants to be your best friend. This is because intimacy is part of your act of worship. It is true that God is our maker and redeemer yet he wants to be our friend. Remember we were made to live continually in God’s presence but it is sin that makes us loose that (Gen 3, Roman 3:23)  In our scripture for today we saw that it was grace through the sacrifice of the cross that gives us access to friendship with God (2 Corinthians 5:18). Our friendship with God does not mean casual acquaintance but close and trusted relationships just like the best man in a wedding. In the palace the servant must keep their distance from the king but there are some people in circle of intimate and trusted friends with the king. They enjoy free an...

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.

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.
