Righteousness is a gift from God. This of God by faith:
truth is evident from our opening scripture.
Righteousness is not about what you do; it is
about who you have been made (2 Corinthians
5:21). Righteousness also is not what you attain
(you don’t grow into it); it is what you submit to.

Paul speaking about the Jews says,


‘Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God
for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear
them record that they have a zeal of God, but
not according to knowledge. For they being
ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about
to establish their own righteousness, have not
submitted themselves unto the righteousness of
God.’ Romans 10:1-3

Submit to God’s gift of righteousness.
The Bible makes it clear that the righteousness
people try to establish for themselves through
good deeds is like filthy rags in His sight, Isaiah
64:6. This ‘filthy-rag righteousness’ is the best any
man can produce by their own good works. It is
not acceptable before God. So receive God’s gift
of righteousness and reign in life. Hallelujah!

Prayer
Thank You, Father, for the free gift of righteousness. I receive
it by faith, submit to it, and through it I reign in life in the
name of Jesus.

Grace is another thing we have in common.

yourself to others. God has given you special

THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST
‘For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ,

Our opening text says that ‘the gospel of Christ is the
power of God to salvation’. This tells us that the gospel
is God’s intervention to the problems of men. Every
problem of man has its solution rooted in the gospel.
It also says, ‘to them that believe’. The gospel when
believed changes a man’s life; otherwise, there is no
change.

In 1 Corinthians 15:1-8, we find what we refer


to as the elements of the gospel, i.e., the redemptive
works of Christ and their implications. Having
accurate knowledge of these elements is having a full
and broad knowledge of the gospel:

3. Jesus rose from the grave. Jesus rose from


the grave after three days, and it is this resurrection
that brought about our new life in Christ. We are
declared righteous because Jesus rose from the grave.

4. He was seen of his disciples and others.


Jesus did not resurrect in secret, he did it for the
whole world to see, so he revealed himself. This
shows to us that we should testify of his resurrection
on the rooftop. Just like Jesus went up to heaven
with his disciples watching, in the same way he will
come back in glory. Hallelujah!

Prayer
Spend some time praying for those you will meet today, that
their hearts will be open to believe the gospel.

ETERNAL LIFE
‘For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of

C

eternal life is a gift and not a reward

talked about eternal life, he used a totally different
word—’gift’ to describe how eternal life comes to
man. It is the GIFT of God. Again, eternal life is
not given to you after you have done something to
merit it, NO! It is given to you when you believe in
Jesus (John 3:16).

Eternal life is also not a loan with conditions


attached to it, it is a gift given freely with nothing
owed in return. You do not do anything for a gift.
If God would take eternal life from you after
giving it to you because you failed to meet certain
conditions, it would no longer be a gift. Gifts do not
have conditions attached to them. ETERNAL LIFE
IS THE FREE GIFT OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS.

Christ.
One of the very big deals that being a son
affords you is that, as sons, you have become heirs
of God and joint-heirs with Christ. Being an heir of
God means you have access to everything God has,
for everything He has is yours now. It means you
have now become sharers by right in the things that
God has. Everything God has, as heirs of God, you
now have completely.

The Bible says in Psalm 24:1 “The earth is


the LORD’S, and the fullness thereof; the world,
and they that dwell therein.” As an heir of God, the
earth is yours. This is what the Apostle Paul knew
when speaking to the believers at Corinth; he said
these words: ‘ALL THINGS ARE YOURS.’

This is why the believer (the Son of God)


doesn’t lack anything because he is God’s heir and
a possessor of all things. Just as you are now an
heir of God, you have also now become joint-heirs
with Christ. So, whatever Christ has, you share with

shows that Jesus rejected their suggestion and
opposed the idea of responding with destruction.

This incident reveals that the very thing


which upset the disciples back then is still what
provokes many believers today. These Samaritans
were opposed to the will of God; Jesus, who is God

stood against Him. They truly deserved to be dealt

‘The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb,

also glorify them, and they shall not be small.’ God
is glorified in the big and mega-sized life. Refuse
to accept smallness as your reality.

One major reason many people (including


ministers) stay small for a long time is that, deep
down, they justify or make room for smallness in
their hearts. Some say, ‘Maybe it’s because of the
city that I reside.’ Others say, ‘I am small because
of the part of town where my business is located.’
Pay attention: If you are ever going to become
very big, you must see every excuse for smallness
as the voice of foolishness and reject it.

You are truly ready to grow when you


reach the point where you no longer tolerate,
justify, or make excuses for smallness. In Genesis
27:40, after Jacob fled with the blessing, Isaac said
to Esau: ‘and it shall come to pass when thou shalt
have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke
from off thy neck’. The Hebrew word translated
as ‘dominion’ means restlessness.

Everything spreads through prosperity. It

power, even fools publish books and wise men pay to

tells us that there was a little city with few men within
it. This city was besieged by a great king. Scripture
says a poor wise man through his wisdom delivered
the city, and yet no man remembered his wisdom.
‘The poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are
not heard’ - Ecclesiastes 9:16

Christians who speak against prosperity often


do so from a place of selfishness; they only think
about their own needs. But life in Christ is bigger than

it clear that no excuse is valid enough to delay or
neglect your commitment to God’s work.

Some people say the reason they don’t want


to be in ministry is because ministers are not always
settled in one place; they are often transferred from
one location to another, and it seems like there is
no stable home for them. In response to this kind
of thinking, Jesus said, “The foxes have holes, and
the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man
hath not where to lay his head.” (Matthew 8:20). By
the words of Jesus, you see that there is no excuse
justifiable enough to deter you from the work of
the ministry.

Most of the time, the excuses you give


for not working for God are the very reasons you
should actually work for Him. The opening text
says, “I must work the works of him that sent me,
while it is day: the night cometh, when no man
can work.” This tells you that the time to work for
the Lord is this very moment you are reading this.

there’s a fault, a flaw, or a failure.

Another scripture says that God is the

comes out of Him. He is never short of it. “Blessed

The Bible says in Psalm 119:64, “The earth, O

It is essential to understand that parenting


also means attention. Not just providing things.
Watch over your child; pay attention to what they
watch and learn. You have a short period of time
to shape their values. Buy them a Bible, read it with
them. This training will preserve them in the future.

Prayer
Father, thank You for the privilege of parenting. I declare by
your wisdom at work in me, fresh generations are raised. They
shall bring honour to Your name and be a blessing indeed in
the name of Jesus.

It does not matter what happens; we are

“Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have

There is a beautiful description of a fool
we find in 1st Samuel 25. This was the account of
a certain man named Nabal who, even though was
a well-educated, influential, and wealthy man, the
Bible called him a fool. This further shows that being
educated does not automatically mean a person is
wise. Someone can be educated and still act foolishly.

Nabal put out certain behaviour in this


account that gave him up as a foolish person. First,
when David sent his men to him for help, Nabal
wasn’t discerning enough to know that the Lord had
called David out and anointed him as King. So he
spoke roughly to David’s men and belittled David (1
Samuel 25:4-11). This is a clear sign of foolishness, for
it is only a foolish person who treats all men the same,
without discernment or understanding. He didn’t
know to place honour on whom honour is due.

Second, Nabal was also a man that could not


be spoken to (1 Samuel 25:14-17); this is another foolish
behaviour Nabal had.
