MFM Daily Devotional 26 December 2023, Tuesday Mountain Top Life Devotional Message written by Dr. D.K Olukoya
TOPIC: The Rewards of Righteousness (5)
Bible in One Year:
Haggai 1–2; Revelation 17
Memory Verse:
Nehemiah 2:20 – So I answered them and said to them, “The God of heaven will give us success; therefore we His servants will arise and build, but you have no portion, right or memorial in Jerusalem.”
Motivational Quote:
He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walketh uprightly.
Prophetic Word for Today:
I declare that henceforth, God will be your buckler and bulwark, in the Name of Jesus.
Fire Scripture:
Nehemiah 4:1-9
Righteousness also promotes success. In Proverbs 2:7, the Bible affirms that God holds success in store for the upright; he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless (NIV).
God measures success by faithfulness rather than by earthly possessions. In 1 Corinthians 4:1-2, the Bible says. “Let no man so account of us, as of the minister of Christ, and stewards, that a man be found faithful.”
Faithfulness is demonstrated by loyalty and dedication to the Lord, by obedience to the Lord and by perseverance. Faithful servants put God first and show their total dedication by trusting and obeying Him throughout their lives.
The Bible also says that success is measured by fruitfulness. Along with faithfulness, we must allow God to produce fruit in our lives. The Bible refers to at least three kinds of fruit that God desires us to produce.
The first is the fruit of Christian character. According to Galatians 5:22-23, our lives should be characterised by love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
The second is the fruit of Christian conduct. When we consistently demonstrate the right character, we will also show the right conduct.
The third is the fruit of converts. Soul winning is an assignment God has given to us all. He wants us to take as many people with us to heaven as possible. Proverbs 11:30 says, “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.”
When Nehemiah and his team embarked on the noble project of rebuilding the broken walls of Jerusalem, they were faced with stiff opposition, great challenge and distraction. Sanballat and Tobias conspired against them and wanted them to fail.
Nehemiah 2:20 reveals Nehemiah’s reaction to the forces of opposition and discouragement, “So I answered them and said to them, “The God of heaven will give us success; therefore we His servants will arise and build, but you have no portion, right or memorial in Jerusalem.”
Indeed, God gave Nehemiah and his team success and protection. They completed the rebuilding of the broken walls in 52 days (Nehemiah 6:15).
Beloved, choose righteousness!
