Wisdom For The Day Devotional 21 August 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – God’s Fullness Overflows Within You
TOPIC: God’s Fullness Overflows Within You (TREM Devotional 21 August 2022)
“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power”. Colossians 2:9-10 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
While it is true that the devil wants you to feel humiliated, frustrated, and discouraged, there is good news for you. When Jesus paid the price for you on the cross through His death, burial, and resurrection, He changed your status and gave you the victory. When He came to the earth, He paid the supreme price so that your status of slavery, failure, disappointment, sin, and bondage could be changed. He then filled you with His fullness the day you gave your life to Him. That is the reason why the devil has no right to hold you bound or to determine how far you can go in life.
Another reason why you cannot be held bound is that you are complete in Him who is the head of all principalities and powers and that includes the devil. The word of God also declares that you are seated with Christ Jesus in the heavenly places, far above principalities and powers. Jesus Christ has paid the supreme price for all time; therefore, you can no longer be held bound. If nothing could hold Him bound, then nothing can bind you either. You cannot fail!
You must settle it in your heart that you cannot fail because Christ’s fullness is in you. Jesus did not fail in His earthly ministry nor did He succumb to sickness and disease. This means that sickness and disease cannot hold you bound because you are in Him. There is no record that Jesus was ever a failure, so you cannot fail. He was never disgraced or embarrassed. If Jesus is free, then you are free also. It is that simple! For as He is, so are you. Enough of sneaking around! Take courage and step out because God has put you in charge. It is a clear fact that Jesus was a threat to the devil during His days on earth. He did not lose sleep over what the devil was doing. So why should you lose sleep?
