Topic :You Have To Be Different.

Memory Verse : Ephesians 5:9. And the supernatural fruits of his light will be seen in you—goodness, righteousness, and truth.

Bible Reading :Ephesians 5:6-8 TPT. Key Verse : v7.

Don’t be fooled by those who speak their empty words and deceptive teachings telling you otherwise. This is what brings God’s anger upon the rebellious! Don’t listen to them or live like them at all. Once your life was full of sin’s darkness, but now you have the very light of our Lord shining through you because of your union with him. Your mission is to live as children flooded with his revelation-light!

We need to understand our calling as children of of God and it’s attending implicstions. We were once lived in ignorance and darkness of this world where anything goes. When we come to Jesus or have genuine encounter with his Spirit of grace, there is no way we can continue in our past unclean livestyles comfortably. We are expected to manifest fruits that reflects the new life we received in him and which should be at work in us by the help of his Spirit given to us. “Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new creation. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new. And God has made all things new, and reconciled us to himself, and given us the ministry of reconciling others to God. In other words, it was through the Anointed One that God was shepherding the world, not even keeping records of their transgressions, and he has entrusted to us the ministry of opening the door of reconciliation to God.” 2 Corinthians 5:17-19.

It is dangerous therefore to live careless or follow the example of men who live carelessly and try to get others to join their backslidden ways or men who are outrightly working for Satan. If you study the word of God carefully and follow the history of mankind from the account of the scriptures, you will discover that any person or people who live in disobedience to the commands of the Lord, when they refuse to repent always walk into the wrath of God, when they exhaust the window of his grace and mercy without returning to him in repentance. Again, if a righteous man, leaves the paths of obedience to the commands of the Lord to follow the paths of the disobedient, he shall become like one of them. Except such a person returns to the Lord on time, he will living dangerously under impending judgment, should the person die in that condition of rebellion. Ezekiel 18:21-24.

Today we have beware of corrupt men who has gone out the way of truth and righteousness. They are working for Satan trying to weaken the resolve of many who desire to obey the truth. They will want to you to be careless with your walk with God and make room for some compromise that opens you for the attacks of the evil one. You must not forget that redemption conferred on you kingdom ambassadorial appointment. This implies that everything you do must reflect your new status and the rich values of your newfound kingdom. Your new disposition in Christ must reflect in your personal activities daily for all men to see because you walk in the light continually. ““Your lives are like salt among the people. But if you, like salt, become bland, how can your ‘saltiness’ be restored? Flavorless salt is good for nothing and will be thrown out and trampled on by others. “Your lives light up the world. Let others see your light from a distance, for how can you hide a city that stands on a hilltop? And who would light a lamp and then hide it in an obscure place? Instead, it’s placed where everyone in the house can benefit from its light.”” Matthew 5:13-15.

Prayer : Thank you Father father God for calling me out of darkness in my generation to bear your light. Keep me from every spirit of compromise at work to hinder my progress in you. Help me to be a true ambassador of light unto everlasting victory in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Take Advantage Of Grace

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Sunday September 22nd, 2024.

Topic : Take Advantage Of Grace.

Memory Verse : Ephesians 3:9. My passion is to enlighten every person to this divine mystery. It was hidden for ages past until now, and kept a secret in the heart of God, the Creator of all.

Bible Reading :Ephesians 3:10-12 TPT. Key Verse : v12.

The purpose of this was to unveil before every throne and rank of angelic orders in the heavenly realm God’s full and diverse wisdom revealed through the church. This perfectly wise plan was destined from eternal ages and fulfilled completely in our Lord Jesus Christ, so that now we have boldness through him, and free access as kings before the Father because of our complete confidence in Christ’s faithfulness.

God the creator of the universe has a plan for the world which he created. Because he knows or sees the end from the beginning, he is able to plan for man whom he created after likeness and image ahead of time. He knew that by keeping the law men won’t be able to fulfill his righteousness. He therefore kept a joker in his arsenal which is grace , with which the ungodly can be justified by simple faith . This agenda of grace, he had to run by himself through his son Jesus to keep it beyond the reach of wicked forces. “One man’s disobedience opened the door for all humanity to become sinners. So also one man’s obedience opened the door for many to be made perfectly right with God and acceptable to him. So then, the law was introduced into God’s plan to bring the reality of human sinfulness out of hiding. And yet, wherever sin increased, there was more than enough of God’s grace to triumph all the more! And just as sin reigned through death, so also this sin-conquering grace will reign as king through righteousness, imparting eternal life through Jesus, our Lord and Messiah!” Romans 5:19-21.

Grace is a school that men are passing through by the faith of the cross while the Prophets of old who forsaw it and angels who are ministering Spirits assigned to work with heirs of the promise watch and study in admiration. Paul as God’s servant was arrested for the purpose of revealing the depths of this grace to mankind by the help of the Spirit of Christ at work in him. “Here’s the secret: The gospel of grace has made you, non-Jewish believers, into coheirs of his promise through your union with him. And you have now become members of his body—one with the Anointed One! I have been made a messenger of this wonderful news by the gift of grace that works through me. Even though I am the least significant of all his holy believers, this grace-gift was imparted when the manifestation of his power came upon me. Grace alone empowers me so that I can boldly preach this wonderful message to non-Jewish people, sharing with them the unfading, inexhaustible riches of Christ, which are beyond comprehension.” Ephesians 3:6-7.

Today the question is what have you done with grace as an individual? Life is personal and whatever we do with the life we have depends on our various choices and decisions. Grace works for a man as long as he is breathing. When the breath is gone, there’s nothing anyone can do about life and eternity. “So what do we do, then? Do we persist in sin so that God’s kindness and grace will increase? What a terrible thought! We have died to sin once and for all, as a dead man passes away from this life. So how could we live under sin’s rule a moment longer? Or have you forgotten that all of us who were immersed into union with Jesus, the Anointed One, were immersed into union with his death?” Romans 6:1-3. There is a need for us all to take advantage of grace maximally today to break away from every known sin. Grace made available to us power to overcome sin, when we are willing to co-operate with the Spirit of God. John 1:12-13.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for planning for my salvation and justification by grace ahead of time. Thank you for your Spirit of grace at work in my life. Help me to take full advantage of every resources grace made available to me in you and overcome the world and it’s desires in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Time To Live Your Dreams.

Memory Verse : Mark 16:12. After this, Jesus appeared to two of the disciples, who were on their way to another village, appearing in a form they did not recognize.

Bible Reading : Mark 16:9-11 TPT. Key Verse : v11.

Early on the first day of the week, after rising from the dead, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. After she had seen Jesus, she ran to tell his disciples, who were all emotionally devastated and weeping. Excitedly, Mary told them, “He’s alive and I’ve seen him!” But even after hearing this, they didn’t believe her.

At the point when Jesus Christ submitted to divine agenda to die willingly on the cross of calvary, Satan and the hordes of hell threw parties thinking they had succeeded in curbing the effect of his restoration work in the lives of men. The chief priests of his days thought they had finally punctured the wheels of his assignment. The disciples on their side was in rude shock and was nursing their wounds in fear. To them it was like a nightmare that they never envisaged. They had been with him and known his capabilities. That wasn’t the first time the people made attempt on his life, but couldn’t succeed because it wasn’t time. But this time, because he submitted himself like a lamb, he was easily preyed on by ordinary men without putting up the simplest resistance. “Suddenly, Peter took out his sword and struck the high priest’s servant, slashing off his right ear! The servant’s name was Malchus. Jesus ordered Peter, “Put your sword away! Do you really think I will avoid the suffering which my Father has assigned to me?”” John 18:10-11.

Even the followers of Jesus in their state of devastation thought that was the end of the road. But in the real sense of it, that was the beginning of a new phase in divine agenda. The powers that be those days on their own side thought in their little minds that it was by their strength they got him this time, so they tried to secure the grave with fierce looking soldiers to make sure nobody removes his remains from the sepulcher where he was laid. When it was time for resurrection by divine agenda, the soldiers and them that sent them to work didn’t know what hit them. Every other thing that happened there on that day of resurrection is now history. “But the angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid. I know that you’re here looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn’t here—he has risen victoriously! Look! See the place where they laid him. Run and tell his disciples, even Peter, that he is risen. He has gone ahead of you into Galilee and you will see him there, just like he told you.”” Mark 16:6-7.

“They staggered out of the tomb, awestruck, with their minds swirling. They ran to tell the disciples, but they were so afraid and deep in wonder, they said nothing to anyone.” Mark 16:8. Now when these women went and reported what they saw to his disciples, they couldn’t believe them. The more they doubted, the more he showed himself to more people, till it became very obvious to all what God had done. This season God is going to reveal strong visitations to his people. The resultant effect will be uncommon testimonies that many around you will find it difficult to believe, just like the resurrection incident. They more people will doubt God in your life this time, the more pronounced your visitation will appear till the blind themselves will see it and glorify God whose faithfulness can never be in doubt. “It was like a dream come true when you freed us from our bondage and brought us back to Zion! We laughed and laughed and overflowed with gladness. We were left shouting for joy and singing your praise. All the nations saw it and joined in, saying, “The Lord has done great miracles for them!””

Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus because death and the grave couldn’t hold you captive. In like manner whatever turn around testimony I am due for cannot be withheld by any power. Thank you Father God for making me live my dreams in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

The Joy Of Eternal Life

DAILY DEVOTIONAL / /

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 🙏🏿.

Factors That Will Help You Control Things

Topic : Factors That Will Help You Control Things.

Memory Verse : 1 Thessalonians 5:19. Never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit.

Bible Reading : 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 TPT. Key Verse: v17.

Let joy be your continual feast. Make your life a prayer. And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus.

Because we are born of God we live a different type of life here on earth. A normal human being will always rejoice when things go his way and at some other times, circumstances and situation of things around him will determine his disposition which may turn gloomy. But a believer is not a normal person and as Pastor Chris rightly said, ‘we live by different set of rules’. As people of God, to us joyfulness is a lifestyle that is not regulated by circumstances. This is because joy is a fruit of the Spirit. It is key to carrying God’s presence. The Spirit of God does not operate in an atmosphere of sorrow and heaviness of the heart. When the enemy wants to destroy or finish any individual, one of the faculties he focuses his attacks on is the faculty of joy. V15 here admonishes us to feast on it or feed our spirit man with it as to be healthy or sound in our minds and to guard against enemy creeping in. Joy is the appetiser that lays the foundation for the word of God to be effective in our lives.

Joy prepares us for the next phase in our prayer life which is thanksgiving. This is a second requirement for anyone to appear before the God of the universe and get result anytime anyday. “Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Philippians 4:4,6 KJV. To be careful here means being troubled, worried or anxious because of any given situation, simply because we are sure that the will or plan of God over our lives which is forever good will always prevail when we keep our trust in him.

On a very important note we have to live praying as people of God because therein lies our strength. In prayer, we live a life of constant connection with heaven which makes divine signals (intelligence) and instructions available to us on a platter of gold. This means that we have to live as mobile altars, men who has become an extension of heavenly government here on earth. “Confess and acknowledge how you have offended one another and then pray for one another to be instantly healed, for tremendous power is released through the passionate, heartfelt prayer of a godly believer! Elijah was a man with human frailties, just like all of us, but he prayed and received supernatural answers. He actually shut the heavens over the land so there would be no rain for three and a half years! Then he prayed again and the skies opened up over the land so that the rain came again and produced the harvest.” James 5:16-18.

Prayer : Thank you Father God because I am redeemed that I may rule my world. Help me by your Spirit to always create the right atmosphere for the Holy Spirit to operate anywhere I find myself and under any circumstances in Jesus wonderful name… Amen 🙏🏿.

Make Him Your Best Friend.

Topic : Make Him Your Best Friend.

Memory Verse : John 16:16. Soon you won’t see me any longer, but then, after a little while, you will see me in a new way.”

Bible Reading : John 16:13-15 TPT. Key Verse : v13.

But when the truth-giving Spirit comes, he will unveil the reality of every truth within you. He won’t speak his own message, but only what he hears from the Father, and he will reveal prophetically to you what is to come. He will glorify me on the earth, for he will receive from me what is mine and reveal it to you. Everything that belongs to the Father belongs to me—that’s why I say that the Divine Encourager will receive what is mine and reveal it to you.

God’s work on earth comes in phases and every phase has it’s uniqueness. The first phase anchored on Adam failed because he couldn’t withstand the devices of Satan the devil unleashed in Eden which succeeded in getting him off track with God and his plan for man. The next phase was anchored on our saviour Jesus Christ who came to recover man from the damages he suffered by falling into disobedience and becoming unfit to run God’s original plan. When God came to the earth as a man through his son Jesus, it all about redemption and restoration into God’s plan for man. The early disciples enjoyed his presence and ministry so much that they never wanted him to leave them to return to the father because they were ignorant of the system God operated. When he began to prepare their minds before he left back to heaven, their hearts were heavy, so he had to take time to educate them of the need for him to return to the father. That was because one of phase of divine agenda was shutting down, so that the next phase could take off.

Today we are beneficiaries of the wisdom of God. Jesus because he was on earth as a man could only be at a place per time. But today because he is on earth as the Holy Spirit, he is everywhere. His presence could be felt in as many locations as is desired per time. At any moment, people are relating with him a getting results from his presence at different locations at a time. He doesn’t work the way men want, but in conformity with divine agenda. We are presently enjoying the era of the Holy Spirit which is the last phase of God’s agenda for his earth. Anyone who doesn’t believe in Jesus the son of God is judged together with Satan for rejecting God’s gift of redemption and restoration in a life of fellowship and intimacy with himself. “So now there is no longer any condemnation for those who believe in him, but the unbeliever already lives under condemnation because they do not believe in the name of God’s beloved Son.” John 3:18.

If you believe in Jesus and serve him, blessed are you. You need to take advantage of the gift of God in the form of his Spirit in full measure. His presence is to provide that which lacking in Adam which made him vulnerable to the attacks of the devil. His company and comfort keeps us going in the midst of troubles unhurt, just the way the fires of Babylon had no power over the three Hebrew sons because of the fourth man in their fire, when they chose to obey God and not man thereby risking their lives. The Holy Spirit as a life companion is interested in all the affairs of the believer. He is our teacher and counsellor. He is there to encourage us when we need it. “But here’s the truth: It’s to your advantage that I go away, for if I don’t go away the Divine Encourager will not be released to you. But after I depart, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will expose sin and prove that the world is wrong about God’s righteousness and his judgments. “There is so much more I would like to say to you, but it’s more than you can grasp at this moment.” John 16:7-8,12.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for giving me your Spirit. as a life Companion. Holy Spirit, be real in my life as a best friend. Let your wisdom be at work in everything I do. Let your counsel guide my steps in the paths of everlasting victory in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Restoration And Recovery.

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Tuesday September 17th, 2024.

Topic : Restoration And Recovery.

Memory Verse : ‭Isaiah 49:17. Your children hasten back, and those who laid you waste depart from you.

Bible Reading : ‭Isaiah 49:14-16 NIV‬. Key Verse : v15.

But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me.” “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.

When the people of Israel was carried away into slavery and servitude into the land of Babylon, it looked like the end of the road when it lasted for about 400 years. But God didn’t forget or abandon them there. He remembered his covenant with their fathers and came back to promise their restoration by the mouth of his servants, the Prophets. After speaking about the restoration of Israel, the Lord began to speak about the coming of the Messiah and the emergece of the Church
“And now the Lord says— he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord and my God has been my strength – he says: “It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.” This is what the Lord says— the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel— to him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the servant of rulers: “Kings will see you and stand up, princes will see and bow down, because of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”” Isaiah 49:5-7.

The love the Lord has for the Church can only be compared to that a mother for her little baby. When a baby is tender and at the stage where he is sucking breast, the child is being nurtured to grow into the age of maturity and responsibility. At that tender age mistakes are not counted, rather the mother is responsible for the upkeep and everything the baby needs to be comfortable. The mother fights the battles of her baby. “Can plunder be taken from warriors, or captives be rescued from the fierce? But this is what the Lord says: “Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save. I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”” Isaiah 49:24-26.

Today the mercy of God is speaking for as many as needs his intervention and a change of story. The mercies of God can rewrite the story of any man family or people at a twinkle of the eyes. When God is out to deliver, there is no stopping him. All you need to do is to only believe in what the Lord is saying. His promises are dependable because his intervention changes any ugly situation and makes something good out of every form of hopelessness and negativity. “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise.” Isaiah 43:19-21.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for the love you have for me that is stronger than that a mother has for her sucking baby. Thank you for taking over my battles, having mercy on me and giving me your victory to live by through Jesus who died for me to live restored in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Take Advantage Of His Gifting.

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Topic : Take Advantage Of His Gifting.

Memory Verse : 2 Timothy 1:7. For the Spirit that God has given us does not make us timid; instead, his Spirit fills us with power, love, and self-control.

2 Timothy 1 :4-6 GNB. Key Verse: v6.

I remember your tears, and I want to see you very much, so that I may be filled with joy. I remember the sincere faith you have, the kind of faith that your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice also had. I am sure that you have it also. For this reason I remind you to keep alive the gift that God gave you when I laid my hands on you.

Timothy was a young man that followed the righteouse paths of his ancestors like Eunice and Lois in serving God with a sincere heart. I want us to understand that as men of the family of God or his kingdom, we have ancestors in the faith whose examplary livestyles we can always follow. Am saying this because some people used to think that our ancestry ends with the people who brought us into the world by physical birth. Though we can’t fault that, but there can always be a switch if need be, especially when our biological ancestors have nothing good to write home about faith wise. We who seek after righteousness therefore have every responsible Bible characters whose lives are worth emulating as our ancestors. “The Lord says, “Listen to me, you that want to be saved, you that come to me for help. Think of the rock from which you came, the quarry from which you were dug. Think of your ancestor, Abraham, and of Sarah, from whom you are descended. When I called Abraham, he was childless, but I blessed him and gave him children; I made his descendants numerous.” Isaiah 51:1-2.

Having said that, we need to understand that grace and mercy of God is a very important investment heaven made in our lives as believers and in hope too. This investment is expected to yield the right dividends unto the kingdom of God through our lives as a harvest. Apostle Paul had this understanding and was trying to open the eyes of Timothy his son in the Lord including ourselves to this truth. In the first place, grace and mercy of God dealth with the burden of sin that makes the lives of men cumbersome. When this burden is taken away, we are able to function without limitations. In making this grace and all that it brings into our lives count, we have to exercise ourselves willingly. We have to take advantage of the Spirit of God and the gifting he brings to bear in our lives to break out of our comfort zone to make our lives count. My Father’s glory is shown by your bearing much fruit; and in this way you become my disciples.” John 15:8.

The gift of God in a man’s life makes power or divine ability available to him. The power of God on its own is given to us for the purpose of witnessing. “Jesus called the twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases. Then he sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick,” Luke 9:1-2. The power of God is that which keeps you beyond the reach of lesser forces so that you can bear rule over them in the real sense of it and in everything you do. This is always revealed in witnessing just like the 70 sent to preach who came back with testimonies of evil spirits being put to flight at the name of Jesus. Beyond preaching, the power of God as an integral part of you helps you function beyond the ability and capacity of an ordinary man by giving you insight into the spirit realm in solving every day problems just like Daniel and Joseph.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because you have invested your grace and spirit in me to give me a change in life. Help me to take full advantage of your investment to impact my generation and live a rewarding earthly life in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Memory Verse : 2 Timothy 2:11. This is a true saying: “If we have died with him, we shall also live with him.

Bible Reading : 2 Timothy 2:8.-10 GNB. Key Verse: v10.

Remember Jesus Christ, who was raised from death, who was a descendant of David, as is taught in the Good News I preach. Because I preach the Good News, I suffer and I am even chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not in chains,. and so I endure everything for the sake of God’s chosen people, in order that they too may obtain the salvation that comes through Christ Jesus and brings eternal glory.

Serving God is a life full of sacrifices. Christianity itself is founded on the sacrifice of the cross that made ordinary sinners like me and you to migrate into the realm of righteousness because of the shed blood of Jesus that cleansed us and made us qualified to be called his own. When John 3:16 spoke up about God’s gift of love in his son, he was talking about the highest sacrifice heaven made because of man. Even the early disciples whom Jesus Christ handed over the baton of faith to at Pentecost sustained the message of life by a lifestyle of undending sacrifices that demanded even their personal lives at the end. That is what it means to die to self and the world, a situation where our personal interest and the views of men becomes secondary in everything we do.

Looking at the life of Apostle Paul, he poured out his entire being and life into the heavenly vision of Christ that he had. The conviction he had about the master was so strong that nothing else made sense to him, even in the midst of heavy persecution targeted at stopping him. “Five times I was given the 39 lashes by the Jews;. three times I was whipped by the Romans; and once I was stoned. I have been in three shipwrecks, and once I spent 24 hours in the water. In my many travels I have been in danger from floods and from robbers, in danger from fellow-Jews and from Gentiles; there have been dangers in the cities, dangers in the wilds, dangers on the high seas, and dangers from false friends. There has been work and toil; often I have gone without sleep; I have been hungry and thirsty; I have often been without enough food, shelter, or clothing. And not to mention other things, every day I am under the pressure of my concern for all the churches.” 2 Corinthians 11:24-28.

Today, we need to realise the need to be responsible believers just like men that went ahead of us whose accounts we study daily. Everything we enjoy in the kingdom today is because of the sacrifices of those who were ahead of us. In like manner, what the next generation will become will be shaped by our present day activities. We need to understand that as present day custodians of divine mysteries or agenda, we have to put in everything within our reach to make sure that we are able to give those coming behind us the right future, should Christ tarry; that is what I call ‘responsible Christianity’. Now if I may ask, what are you doing for Jesus Christ personally that should affect the next generation? Are you one of those who fold their arms and keep finding faults and apportioning blames? Are you building with Christ or pulling down what he is building through the genuine efforts of others? Now ask yourself again, if every believer is like myself, what will the kingdom of God look like or become tomorrow? Never forget that you just have one life to live. Hebrews 9:27.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for counting me worthy to be called your own because of what Jesus did. Thank you for everyone whose sacrifices shaped my life in you. Help me to contribute my quota effectively in your kingdom building business in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : John 14:15-31.
