August 7, 2019 UCB Word For Today Devotional : Topic - What is godliness?

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

August 7, 2019 UCB Word For Today Devotional : Topic - What is godliness?



‘My soul thirsts for God.’

What comes to mind when you think of the word godliness? Religious rules and regulations? Christians who point fingers and say, ‘Thou shalt not’? Little wonder so many people avoid us! Is godliness even possible in an age of motorway drivers and internet shoppers? Or do we need to return to slower and simpler times in order to be godly? The fact is godliness isn’t a culture, it’s an attitude of the heart. 

It has little to do with how a person looks (although that’s hard for some of us to see beyond), or what they drive or own. It has nothing to do with our personal preferences and the standards some of us would like to impose on others. The Bible says, ‘People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart’ (1 Samuel 16:7 NIV 2011 Edition). Godliness is an inside job. 
And the longer you think about it, the more convinced you become that a truly godly person is one whose heart is sensitive to God, who takes God and His Word seriously, and who desires more of Him. David cried, ‘My soul thirsts for God.’ That’s it! You can be rich or poor, young or old, urban or rural, follower or leader, active or quiet, married or single, Labour or Conservative – none of that matters. 
What matters is having a longing to know God intimately, to obey Him, and walk with Him. So ask yourself, ‘Do I want to be godly?’ And if you don’t like the answer, get down on your knees and ask God to change your heart and attitude.
Job 32-33, 1 Corinthians 7:20-40
