SERVANTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

TEXT:  Romans 6:18:

 *“And, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.”* 

Freedom is one of the most powerful desires  of man. We long to be free—from guilt, shame, fear, expectations, and to be free from the chains of sin. 

But this freedom isn’t just about walking away from sin—it’s about walking into something new. Paul says we are now slaves of righteousness. At first glance, that word slave may sound harsh. But in this context, it means being totally devoted to a new Master—Jesus Christ—who leads us not into bondage, but into life, purpose, and holiness.

We are not freed to do whatever we want. We are freed to do what we were created to do: love, obey, and reflect God. This is true freedom—the kind that doesn’t destroy us like sin does, but transforms us.

 *Remember that you are no longer bound by the power of sin. It may tempt you, but it no longer owns you.* 

Let's consider what it means to be a "slave of righteousness." Are your choices, habits, and priorities reflecting a life devoted to Christ?

Being devoted to righteousness isn’t about earning salvation—it’s about living in response to the freedom that Christ has already given.

Ask yourself today:
What am I doing with the freedom that Jesus Christ has given me? Am I using it to glorify Him—or am I drifting back to old ways?

 *BIBLE READING* : 

1 Corinthians 10:1-10.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father, thank You for setting me free from the power of sin. Help me to live as someone who belongs to You in Jesus name.

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 ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
