SERVANTS- 2

Text: Romans 6:16.

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Interestingly,  you are in control of whom you submit to as servants, however, once your choice is made you have automatically chosen your outcome.* 

Jesus said emphatically in Matthew 6:24 that no one can serve two masters. You can't serve God and mammon. In the same way, you can't serve sin and righteousness at the same time.

If you have been freed from sin, you have become slaves of righteousness and vice versa. Roman 6:18.

Many who refer to themselves as servants of God today are actually servants of Sin. A number of activities they engage in (even in the name of  God) are engineered by sin. Sins like greed, competition, pride, covetousness, selfish ambition, showmanship and the likes are the motivation for the services rendered in God's name. 

The question is, who is your master? Who are you submitting to? You must know that *once you are not working in obedience to righteousness,  you have automatically submitted yourself to sin as your master.* 

When you give in to anger, jealousy,  malice, fornication, lying,  stealing and any of such works of the flesh, you have given sin the throne to rule as master over your life.
But you can receive grace today to unseat sin in your life and let righteousness reign. 

Let not sin rule over you!

Bible Reading:

Romans 6:1-23.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father Lord, I receive the grace to always say no to sin and yes to righteousness at all times.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
