Wisdom For The Day Devotional 1 November 2023 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – It Is Well With The Righteous
TOPIC: The Word Shall Be Your Reality (TREM Devotional 1 November 2023)
“Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.” Isaiah 3:10 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
My heart desires is that God will exceed all your expectations. The desires of your heart for the nations of the world will surely be accomplished. Our nation will not go under. Our nation will overcome every challenge that it is presently subjected to.
In our text, Prophet Isaiah was looking prophetically to the time of Christ when He will come to the world and lay down His life for our salvation and victory. So, he was speaking ahead of his time. But now that Christ has come, it is no more in the future. The prophecy should now be, “say to the righteous, it is well with him”, not it is going to be well. It is no more futuristic! It is already well with the righteous. We are now harvesting the promises of God. We are in the season of manifestation.
As the church, we walk in the reality of this truth. It is our new birth reality. The blessing is no longer in the future, it is now! No matter what is coming your way, God is saying to you now that it is well with you. You already have victory over every opposition in your life. That is what the cross is all about. As a result of the victory of the finished work of Christ, we are overcomers. Every child of God overcomes the world. Our faith is the victorious power that triumphs over the world.
The book of 2 Corinthians 5:21 says: “Christ has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him”. So, as long as you are in Christ, you are righteous. And God is telling us today that, it is well with us. You will not labour in vain. You will enjoy the fruit of your efforts. It doesn’t matter what is happening around you, what matters is what God has said. I see you rising above the storms of life.
