Wisdom For The Day Devotional 28 June 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Anchor Your Life On The Word Of God
TOPIC: Anchor Your Life On The Word Of God (TREM Devotional 28 June 2024)
“For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.” Exodus 12:12 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
Beloved, put on your imagination for a minute; the Children of Israel were leaving Egypt after several plagues and demonstrations of God’s power. Pharaoh would not let them go. That last night, God said that they should slay their lambs and put the blood on their doorposts and lintels and that when He sees the blood, He will Passover.
They sprinkled the blood of lambs on their doorposts and lintel, and that night, they could hear screams in the land of Egypt. I can tell you there are those who would have thought: Is this blood capable of stopping the angel of death from visiting our abode? Do you know that’s how some of us operate? And there are those who believed and obeyed what God had said completely. For them, once God had spoken, it was settled. All they had to wait for was the next instruction. While some were panicking, they were resting. They simply believed that the blood was powerful enough to ward off every enemy.
The God that you and I serve cannot lie. His Word is final. “…By two immutable things,…it is impossible for God to lie.” Hebrews 6:18 (KJV). God can not lie; if He said it, He will do it. If He has spoken it, He will bring it to pass. The blood of Jesus avails for the believer. Every promise of God is validated in the blood of Jesus Christ. You can depend on that Word and see God stand out on your behalf and fight your battles. He is not a man that He should lie nor the son of man that He should repent. You have an anchor for your soul; that is Jesus, our forerunner, who has passed through the veil. If He cannot fail, then God cannot fail.
