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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
