TREM Devotional – You Have A New Position In Christ

Wisdom For The Day Devotional 18 April 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – You Have A New Position In Christ

TOPIC: Don’t Fall For The Enemy’s Tricks (TREM Devotional 18 April 2024)

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” – 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)

MESSAGE:

Do you believe that now that you are in Christ, your position has changed? Today’s text says if any man be in Christ, He is a new creature, not refurbished. You are not a Jew, neither are you a gentile. You are a new creation. A new species of being that has never existed before. And God is dealing with you on a different platform. You are His son. The same acceptance to which He accepted Jesus is the same acceptance to which He accepted you.

The way Jesus is before God is the way you are before Him. No difference! That is what the new birth gave to us. “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” Romans 8:29-30 (KJV).

You are called to glory, not shame. The end of your life has already been determined. It is glorious and colourful. You will not end halfway in Jesus’ name.

Throughout the period of temptation, Jesus kept on saying, “It Is Written.” In other words, He knew what was written and accepted it. Have you accepted what is written concerning you? You are God’s ambassador. You are anointed by God to do the works of God. You are God’s powerhouse. You can never fail. You are a terror to the devil.

Yes, you are His beloved child. You carry his DNA. Where He is, that is where you are. You are born to succeed. You are born to achieve greatness. You can never lag. You are meant to stand on the global platform. You are meant for significance. You will make a formidable impact in your world. You can never take the last position because where He is, is where you are. The head and the body cannot be separated.
