God’s Slaves
Listen
We have to focus our hearts on the journey that lies ahead of us. So many times, the enemy is successful in trapping us in the thoughts of our past, but if we would just focus on where God is leading us, it will be more much easier for us to remain patient through all the highs and the lows of everyday life.
The Bible says in Romans 6:22, “But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life.” God is telling us to live our lives in such a way that it will lead to holiness and ultimately to eternal life. Here, Apostle Paul is explaining the power of sin and the power of holiness. Because we are born in the lineage of Adam and Eve, no matter from which city or nation we are born in, we have sin in our blood, and all through our lives, we will gravitate towards sinning more because once upon a time we were slaves to the power of sin, but when we received Jesus in our hearts, now we are no longer slaves to the power of sin and are free from it. When it comes to sin, you have no obligation to going back to doing those sins, but you have to submit to God like you are a slave. You are either going to be living in submission to the world around you or living in submission to God.
Slavery to God is the most joyful lifestyle that is everlasting and there is a peace that surpasses all understanding and every step that you take will be ordained by God himself and that is the power of slavery to God. If you are a slave to God, you will make choices that will ultimately lead you to holiness and result in eternal life.
Slavery to God is the most pleasurable thing you can do on this earth. Share on XPeople would fool you into believing that you can live however you want to live and you will have eternal life, but the Bible says you would have to constantly live in such a way that is devoid of the power of sin and you are a slave to God.
Can we start doing from today a lifestyle that is free from the power of sin and the one that can make you a slave of God. If so, then we will come out successful as people that are holy and ready to inherit eternal life. Not only should we resolve this in our heart but we should depend on the Holy Spirit to work in our lives in such a way that the fruit of the spirit can manifest and not the fruit of the flesh. The more that we rely on ourselves, the more we will fail, but the more we rely on Holy Spirit, the more we will be successful in living a lifestyle that is free from the power of sin and slave to the will and purposes of God.

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
