Spiritual Digest for the Day 12th Of June 2016

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
God has a pre-defined standard that cannot be compromised. If a man must enter the Kingdom of heaven his righteousness must exceed living to please men, seeking self and human justification as well as the ovation of men!!!

************************
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:20 NIV).
________________________________
Righteousness at any level is defeated if the act of a man will not glorify God who created all things for His own exclusive glory. It is not enough to appear righteous; God who knows and sees the real motive in the heart of men is the only one who determines the real act of righteousness.

The principle seen in both the scribes and the Pharisees is that they engaged in several religious activities for their own praise and honour. Their lives was characterised by greed, hypocrisy and wickedness. They don't practice what they teach and place heavy burden on men for their own self interest. Also, they focus more on what men will say about them than God's recommendation and approval.

Thank God for your life and the qualities you exhibit before men. Thank God for your belief and everything you do for God. You will only be regarded as a righteous man if all you do is for God's glory. This is what we see in Christ Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith. He did everything to the Glory of His Father. If you must be a heir of the kingdom you must resemble Him in His attributes.

Put away every eye service, greed, hypocrisy, selfish interest and submit to God in total obedience to His will. Always allow the Lord to take exclusive glory over your life in everything you do.

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have a Glorious Worship Experience!!!
