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.

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
