ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Friday September 20th, 2024.

Topic : The Joy Of Eternal Life.

Memory Verse : Luke 10:20. But don’t be glad because the evil spirits obey you; rather be glad because your names are written in heaven.”

Bible Reading : Luke 10:17-19. Key Verse: v19.

The 72 men came back in great joy. “Lord,” they said, “even the demons obeyed us when we gave them a command in your name!” Jesus answered them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Listen! I have given you authority, so that you can walk on snakes and scorpions and overcome all the power of the Enemy, and nothing will hurt you.

At this point Jesus Christ was preparing his early disciples for ministry. He had spent time working with them, they had been with him and seen how he went about his earthly ministry assignments. Knowing that he would have to leave them to continue where he stopped here on earth when he finally returns to the father, he sent them out to try out their hands in ministry without his physical presence accompanying them. He sent them as advance team to places he would later visit. “After this the Lord chose another 72 men and sent them out two by two, to go ahead of him to every town and place where he himself was about to go. He said to them, “There is a large harvest, but few workers to gather it in. Pray to the owner of the harvest that he will send out workers to gather in his harvest. Go! I am sending you like lambs among wolves.” Luke 10:1-3.

By the time the 72 returned, they were amazed at the type of results they had confronting Satan and evil spirits working under him. They took note that the power and authority he gave them over foul spirits made them obey their commands and leave at use the name of Jesus. That gave them great Joy as they gave account of their various experiences in the first place. “He said to them, “Go throughout the whole world and preach the gospel to the whole human race. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. Believers will be given the power to perform miracles: they will drive out demons in my name; they will speak in strange tongues; if they pick up snakes or drink any poison, they will not be hungryharmed; they will place their hands on sick people, who will get well.”” Mark 1614-17.

Now something significant happened here in our main text and as contained in the memory verse, which we must take note of as the sent men of our day. All who believe in Jesus Christ inherited this assignment and promises. Therefore these promises and manifestations shall be real in our lives as we do the work of God at our various capacity because of the validity of his delegated authority. In the midst of their rejoicing, Jesus pointed out to the disciples what was the most important dimension of the package we received as his followers, which is his life and by his Spirit. This eternal life is life in God’s presence which implies that our names are written in God’s kingdom books as part of him or his family. “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never die. No one can snatch them away from me. What my Father has given me is greater than everything, and no one can snatch them away from the Father’s care.” John 10:26-28.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for saving me and writing my name in your book as your own. Thank you because of your zoe (life) that is at work in me. Thank you because by your Spirit, every lesser power must submit. Thank you Jesus because I will spend eternity with you after a glorious earthly sojourn in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Mark 14:27-52.
