  FAITHFULNESS Matthew 25:14-30 Devotional:- “His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord'” (v.21) NKJV One other unnoticed strength of joy is being faithful. You need to know that faithfulness is a senior brother to joyfulness. They are born of the same father. When you are really born of God, these two virtues will surely be found in you. Today, many are dubious in their dealings with others. Many, in the name of the need for money, become unfaithful to their spouse, master and even God. People do this just to get wealth, but they never know that it is a way to lose their joy. So many have gathered through unfaithfulness, but with many sorrows. In the scripture we read today, there are two types of servants. Their master gave them money to trade with. Two were faithful by carrying out the instruction of their master, but one was unfaithful. He thought ...

BOLDNESS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

BOLDNESS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Proverbs 28:1-7
Devotional:- The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion” (V.1) NKJV

    No atom of weakness can overcome the devil. Unrighteousness is his attitude, so unrighteousness cannot confront him (1 John 3:8). You must realize that we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). That is why you cannot afford to be weak. Always remember that our fight is a fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12). Christ has defeated the devil on the cross (Colossians 2:15). We have been given the victory of Christ because Jesus is in us by His Spirit that is in us (1 John 4:4). Christians who toil with sin will soon face disgrace; so, Beware! One of the strengths you need to put on for victory as a Christian is the boldness of righteousness. God’s words call it the breastplate of righteousness (Ephesians 6:14). This is a strange level of confidence; the scripture says it commands boldness like that of a lion.

The boldness of righteousness is in two dimensions. The first is a product of faith in God’s word that claims the righteousness which is given to us by God through Jesus Christ. This is not by your own making. God’s words say it is not of work but faith (Romans 3:21-22, 2 Corinthians 5:20). No man can be so right with God, you must always put on this righteousness by faith, and then you are qualified. This righteousness is of Christ who dwells in you. So, whenever God sees you, He sees the righteous Spirit (the Holy Spirit) in you. The second is obedience to the word of God. When you obey God’s commandment you are entitled to God’s covenant reward (Deuteronomy 28:1).

As a child of God, this righteousness gives you strange boldness that no devil can wait for. Arise in this light and be courageous to win.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO ALWAYS PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

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.

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.
