Wisdom For The Day Devotional 19 April 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – The Head And The Body Cannot Be Separated
TOPIC: The Head And The Body Cannot Be Separated (TREM Devotional 19 April 2024)
“And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.” Colossians 1:18 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
Sometimes, the things I am sharing appear like repetition, but there is power in repetition. I need you to come to terms with these truths so that you may live victoriously.
Jesus is the head of the body of Christ. The head and the body cannot be separated. Where He is, that is where you are. The Book of Colossians 2:6 says, “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him.” (KJV). Put on a mentality that you are Him, not that you are like Him. You are Him because you can’t be separated.
Sometimes, the devil jumps on you and says that it is not you. If you are the one, how come this and that are happening to you? Beloved, it is not based on what is happening but on what He has done.
Everything He accomplished was for us. All we need to do is accept them. The Book of Romans 4:25 declares, “Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.” And the Book of Romans 5:1-2 says: “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” (KJV). God is no longer mad at any of us.
Child of God, accept your acceptance. You are one with Christ. You have been quickened. You have been raised. You have been made to sit together with Him in heavenly places. Christ has redeemed you from the curse of the law. You are not under the curse. The reason you think you are under the curse is ignorance. The curse has been removed. You are now in the place of the blessing.
