Seeds of Destiny 24 January 2018 Daily Devotional – Standing on the Ground of Righteousness

SCRIPTURE: Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment. Exodus 23:2.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Do not do evil because everyone else is doing it. (Seeds of Destiny 24 January 2018 Daily Devotional)

MESSAGE: It has been confirmed that one critical wisdom key that distinguished Joseph from his brothers was the wisdom of living right. Joseph stood on the ground of righteousness. While all his brothers were on one side, the side of iniquity, Joseph alone stood on the ground of righteousness. He was the only person who made up his mind to live righteously and was separated from his brothers.

The lesson from this is: Never follow the multitude to do evil; take a stand in righteousness even if you have to stand alone.

That is why our anchor scripture aptly says that one should not follow the multitude to commit sin.

It is important to know that we live in a generation where multitudes of people are running in the wrong direction, but Divine wisdom demands that you do not follow the multitude in the wrong direction; you should never follow the multitude to do evil.

Whenever you are confronted with situations or challenges of life and there is a need to make a choice, it is important that you stand for the truth. Stand for God; stand for the principles of the Kingdom. Do not do evil because everyone else is doing it.

The attitude of doing things because other people are doing them even if the things being done are evil is one attitude that has negatively affected our generation. Joseph stood out from the crowd; he stood out from his brothers. What was considered and accepted as normal by Joseph’s brothers was not acceptable to him.

Beloved, emulate the exemplary life of Joseph in order to stand out in life.

REMEMBER THIS: Do not do evil because everyone else is doing it.
