Wisdom For The Day Devotional 21 May 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – He Has Done It
TOPIC: He Has Done It (TREM Devotional 21 May 2022)
“Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.” Genesis 17:5 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
Child of God, you must always recognize that you are a child of the kingdom and God has finished all that concerns you before He ever made the promise to you. All you need do is begin to walk towards that which is already perfected in God. God changed Abraham’s name and made him a father of many nations ever before it happened.
You see, when God gives you His word, that is not when He is preparing it. It is already prepared. God expects you to begin to walk towards it. It is in walking towards it that you become it. That is what faith is. He says it to tell you what has already been done in the Spirit. It is your walking towards it whether it looks like it or not, that produces what God has spoken. That is what is called faith.
Without faith, it is impossible to please God. It is impossible to be all that God made you be if you are not walking in faith. It pleases God to see His children walking towards what He has promised. If you must develop the faith that pleases God, you must read the bible daily. The word can build you up, and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified (Acts 20:32). And faith comes by hearing the word of God.
Secondly change your thinking by the word. Let your thought align with God’s word and promises for your life. The word of God should form the content of your thoughts. Refuse a negative mindset by casting down every thought that is contrary to the finished work of Christ on the cross. Don’t forget also to continually build up yourself in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost. “For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.” 1 Corinthians 14:2. This way you will re-program your mind and keep it in perfect alignment with what God has already done.
