ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Friday May 31st, 2024.

Topic : Beyond The Surface.

Memory Verse: 1 Corinthians 1:7. So now you aren’t lacking any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the unveiling of the Lord Jesus, the Anointed One.

Bible Reading. 1 Corinthians 1:4-6 TPT. Key Verse : v6.

I am always thanking my God for you because he has given you such free and open access to his grace through your union with Jesus, the Messiah. In him you have been made extravagantly rich in every way. You have been endowed with a wealth of inspired utterance and the riches that come from your intimate knowledge of him. For the reality of the truth of Christ is seen among you and strengthened through your experience of him.

One of the challenges we have in the body of Christ today is that majority of the the people lack genuine and deep experience of the master himself. This happens because many seems to just want to relate with God as a problem solver alone. They lack any serious desire to know him personally and to relate with him on individual basis. They keep hanging of the general experience of God in the place of general fellowship which they do nothing to build on afterwards. Having said that, it’s good to point out that what Jesus initiated by his sacrifice on the cross is a life of union with man. The best way to explain this union is what happens in a marriage, where two different individuals that come from two different background and experiences of life come together to become one in everything they do. They build a home and begins to live a life of partnership or a life that serves or protects the interest of the other party.

“It is good that you are enthusiastic and passionate about spiritual gifts, especially prophecy. When someone speaks in tongues, no one understands a word he says, because he’s not speaking to people, but to God—he is speaking intimate mysteries in the Spirit. But when someone prophesies, he speaks to encourage people, to build them up, and to bring them comfort.” 1 Corinthians 14:1-3. God releases blessings upon his children to meet their needs and desires. When the people of God have no desire, they may hardly get even what they need. Every child of God here is encouraged here to desire not only to prophesy, but to operate in other gifts of the Spirit. When most people in a congregation are spiritual or pursue spiritual gifts in their lives genuinely, we are able to build a mature, healthy and vibrant church.

Today as an individual, what are you doing about your relationship with Jesus? Are you in church just to be solving problems without any serious commitment to Jesus our saviour? Are you aware of the fact that there are riches and wealth of the kingdom God wants to drop on your life or entrust unto your care for service, if only you can be willing and hungry enough to go for them? We need to understand that it is God’s will to grant us access to deep things in Christ Jesus by the channel of his Spirit given unto us. We need to mature as to walk in the reality of every embodiment of truth in Christ. Then can we walk in his strength made possible by our deep knowledge or experience of him. We can then say like Apostle Paul…. “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13 NIV‬.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because of your unfailing love. Thank you Jesus for coming down to my level to live in me through your Spirit. From today help me to live a live of union with you in reality. Let my life be such that is always available for your use in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Daniel 3:1-30.
