DEVOTION ~ DELIVERED FROM DEATH

Theme: Delivered From Death

Text: Proverbs 10:1

2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.


Being wealthy is not a sin or a negative thing. However, whether wealth is beneficial or not is contingent on how it is acquired. Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value for God's judgment will come upon such individuals. Taking a clue from how Jezebel usurped the vineyard of Naboth through unjust means. God's punishment was unleashed on the family of Ahab for such an evil act of killing Naboth (Refer to 1 Kings 21). Aside from the unjust gaining of wealth, not being able to honor God with our wealth also profits nothing. The parable of the rich fool is an example of not honoring God with our wealth (Refer to Luke 12:13-21). These examples of unjust wealth led to destruction and death. The tail end of this proverb gives hope that we shall be delivered from death through righteousness. The righteousness of Christ is a guarantee of abundant life to anyone who embraces it. Deliverance is in the Name of Jesus Christ therefore if you have His righteousness, you shall be delivered from the yoke of death. 


Let us Pray: Almighty God, deliver me from unjust means of making wealth. I pray the righteousness of Christ shall clothe me and deliver me from death. This I ask in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

John’s baptism was the baptism unto repentance: An act of confession and turning from sin which anticipated the coming of the Messiah. Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

What inhibits you determines what comes out of you. The two elements are light and darkness. The light within produces good, whereas darkness is evil. It is recorded in  Ephesians 5:8-9 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good, right, and true.  Declare, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I no longer walk in darkness but rather in light. Therefore, every product of darkness within and around me is extinct. I decree that my family and I live in light, and we enjoy what the light produces in fullness. Our deeds are good, right, and true. AMEN!"
