  WORLD CLASS CHRISTIAN Mark 16:14-20 Devotional:- “And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (V. 15) There are two types of Christians in the world: The world class Christians and the worldly Christian. You are either in one of these groups. The worldly Christians look to God primarily for personal needs. They are saved but self-centered. Their prayer focuses on me first and focuses on their needs, blessings and happiness or comfort. They want to use God for their purpose instead of been used for Gods purposes. “Jesus sent us to reach the world, be part”.  In contrast, world class Christians are people who are saved and know that they are here to serve the purpose of God. Find them anywhere in the world they will be serving God’s purpose. They are eager to receive personal assignment and excited about the privilege of been used by God. Everything they do in life is towards fulfilling the purpose of God and not just for worldly pleasu...

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”

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.
