Religious or Righteous
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"For I say unto you, that except your righteousness exceed the righteousness of the scribes and the Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."
Luke 18: 9- 14
TODAY'S WORD:
Relationship with GOD is more than playing religion. It entails possessing this very nature. The bible says can two walk together except they be in agreement? It is not enough for someone to go to church, having great titles, encumbered with many religious rites or activities, giving alms to the poor, observing regular fasting and prayer, speaking in tongues and many more. All these are good but they are not highly esteemed in the sight of GOD as producing the fruit of righteousness.
Jesus warned his disciples to desist from the righteousness of the scribes and the pharisees who only had the form of godliness but denied the power thereof. Living a righteous life is by faith in God through regeneration and by outward exhibition of good deeds and struggle in human flesh.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY:
Lord impact in me the true nature of righteousness within me that I may be like thee.
Grow Up, Don't Go Up
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ....
II Peter 4:18
TODAY'S WORD:
The subject of growth is a natural phenomenon. As days go upon days, we are growing in age by and by. But it is not enough to grow in age without growing in mental ability and capability, for this will amount to immaturity and intellectual deficiency.
Hence, as you grow in days learn to grow in grace. Maturity is not a function of age. Let your growth in years be matched with corresponding growth in your thought, words, actions, conduct and behaviors.Do not go up through life but grow up through life.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY:
Lord help me daily not to only go up through life but to grow up through life.

With this,you can climb the leader of success an get to the zenith of your desire in life.

Looking unto Jesus
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Looking unto JESUS the author and the finisher of our faith."
Hebrew 12: 2(a)
TODAY'S WORD:
The greatest mistake men make in life is to put their trust and confidence in men. Some even go as far as making men their focus and role model. In this new year, you need to personally make up your mind to focus your attention on GOD, as your helper, security, defense, and make JESUS who is the perfect image of GOD your role model. GOD has made Him for us a saviour, substitute, sacrifice, supplier, survivor, sustainer, shield, and shepherd. Put your trust and confidence in Him this year and you shall not be put to shame.
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
LORD help me to hope and trust in you through out this year.
