Wisdom For The Day Devotional 15 June 2023 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo: Where Are The Converted?
TOPIC: Where Are The Converted? (TREM Devotional 15 June 2023)
“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.” Romans 5:1 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
A lot of believers are frustrated, overwhelmed, and dying not because they are not blessed, but because they are not able to appropriate the blessing that has already been released to them. Child of God, you are blessed.
However, because we live in a world that is negatively programmed, some of us live it by ourselves, and we put limits on ourselves. We say this will happen and this will not happen. But the beautiful thing is that God does not have a favourite. He is not a respecter of persons. What He has done for one, He will do for another. Therefore, settle it in your mind that God is not a man. He is God in His exclusive class and whatever He says about you is guaranteed.
In the book of Isaiah 55: 11, the scripture declares: “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it”
The word of God will always produce. So, we serve a God whom we can bank on His words. He hastens His word to perform it.
What has He spoken to you lately? What promise has He made to you? Receive it by faith! Whatever promise He has made; He has the capacity to bring it to pass in your life. It is already perfected. Don’t read the word of God as if He is going to do it. He has done it already. The reason it looks like it is in the future is that you exist in time. But God lives in the eternal now.
The Grace of God gives but faith receives. Grace has already given but are you receiving it?
