  WORSHIP John 4:10-26 Devotional:- “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him” (v.23) NKJV Many of us have not come to the level of understanding that God is more interested in building relationship with us than in meeting our needs. Actually, He desires to meet our needs, but fundamentally, He wants a relationship first. That is why most people don’t have a constant response from God, because He has discovered that they are much more after His gifts and not after Him as God. So also when Jesus discovered that people were following Him for the sake of fish and bread, He quickly discouraged the act (John 6:25-27). One of the things that God strongly desire from human race is our worship. Not because He wants to show that He is God, but because He knows that it will help Him build a relationship with us. Observe that God called David a man after His heart. One of the reasons...

THE RIGHTEOUS

THE RIGHTEOUS

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

    It is only a person with the life of God in him/her that can be righteous. This is because righteousness is the nature of God and not of man (Romans 3:10). Moral standard does not make anyone qualify as righteous before the Lord. That is why the bible says the righteousness of man can be likened to a dirty rag before the Lord (Isaiah 64:6). Anyone that does not the Spirit of God cannot operate the nature of God. Such is counted unrighteous no matter how well-behaved or moral standard. Because we only judge what we see God sees all things. We look at the face; He looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7).

But do you know that because you have invited Jesus into your heart, you have the Spirit of God at work in you (1 Corinthians 12:3). That makes you have the life of God. And you by your faith in Christ Jesus are counted righteous (Romans 4:3). Friend, before God you are the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus no matter what people say. That is why you must not allow any condemnation in your heart (Romans 8:1). It is altogether a trick of the devil to pull down your mind and your confidence in the Lord your God. You will know a Christian by his daily walk with God and that is making his life change from glory to glory.

Look here; you are not righteous because of what you do or what you do not. You just have the nature and the approval of God. This is strength for boldness and confidence in Christ (Proverbs 28:1). See, the attitude of always trying to confess even the sins you don’t know is fear and doubt (Job 1:5;3:25; Proverbs 29:25). You better stop it. You carry the righteousness of God in you. Not declared by man but by God.

PRAYER: LORD, SWITCH ME ON TO THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF MY RIGHTEOUSNESS IN YOU.

“RIGHTEOUSNESS IS ONLY GOD’S APPROVAL NOT MAN’S”

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.

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.

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.
