GODLINESS

November 26, 2014

For every child of God, there is a throne to occupy, which is why the Bible makes us understand that the entire world is waiting for our manifestations. But, one of the tactics of Satan in dethroning believers and making us not to become who God has created us to become is ungodliness. The devil is trying everything in his capacity to see to it that we do not ascend that throne which is why he is always going about looking for ways to trap us so that he can devour, because his mission is to steal, kill and destroy.

King David had it going super for him until the devil succeeded in luring him into an adulterous relationship with Bathsheba. After that incident, King David spent some time running around and staying in the bush. Righteousness and greatness are always walking together. Today, we are all talking about Jesus, just because He was righteous. He said in John 14:30 that, “for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.” He was blameless. No wonder He went about doing good and performing diverse miracles, for God was with Him.

Bible says Daniel purposed in his heart not to defile himself. Despite how sinful that generation was, Daniel was sinless and this earned him a great throne. As much as the covenant is there that the least in the kingdom would be greater than John the Baptist, sin could block this covenant from working because sin sinks. It dethrones, while godliness empowers to manifest. If you have being overcome again and again by sin, there is way out – cry out for mercy and Jesus will rescue you.

Get rid of all the little, little foxes that spoil the vine. This will you cost you your pleasure, relationship with others or any other form of discomfort. However, the price you pay cannot be compared to the glory that awaits you in the end. Don’t because of today’s temporal enjoyment dethrone yourself.

Be wise!
