Wisdom For The Day Devotional 23 November 2023 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Your Redeemer Lives
TOPIC: Your Redeemer Lives (TREM Devotional 23 November 2023)
“For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth;” Job 19:25 (NKJV)
MESSAGE:
All through the scriptures, you will find out that the Bible talks about our redeemer. He is not a weakling. Our redeemer is strong. Your redeemer can be touched with the feeling of your infirmities. He can identify with where you are. He knows the tears you shed in the early hours of the morning and late hours of the night. Your redeemer knows the hairs on your head. He knows everything about you. And it is not just enough to know that He knows, you should also know that He is a strong redeemer!
Job was passing through severe challenges in life. He had difficulties that he couldn’t explain. At a point he said to himself, I can’t explain what’s going on with me, but there is something I know. I know my Redeemer lives (Job 19:25) My Redeemer is alive and not dead. He can feel what I feel. He lives and He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.
Child of God, I don’t know what your challenges are, but one thing I know is that your Redeemer lives. When we are talking about a redeemer, we are talking about a person who has the capacity to bring you out from your situation. In other words, you are in a difficult situation and you cannot find your way out. But He knows whatever it takes to make sure you get out of the situation. If it is money to be paid, He will pay it. If it is His life that should be given, He is ready to give it.
There are qualities a redeemer must have: He has to identify with you. There must be a connection. There must be a link between you and him. He has to be willing to do it. He must have the capacity to do it. I am glad that Jesus Christ, your Redeemer has all of these qualities and He put His life on the line to redeem you.
