Memorise: For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Romans 8:15
Read: Galatians 4:4-7 (KJV)
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Bible in one year: Matthew 26, Isaiah 10:5-19
AS REVEALED BY PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE IN TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL
1. Anytime I remember what I suffered in the hands of Satan and his agents before I was redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, I cannot help but thank God for the salvation of my soul. As a matter of fact, fear was a major source of torment in my life before I met the Lord Jesus Christ.
2. However, when the light of redemption beamed upon me and my family, we were liberated. This is why I am praying for you who may have been living in perpetual fear all the days of your life: that you will be delivered from the torment of fear in Jesus’ Name. Jesus did it for me and He will do it for you too.
3. Deliverance from fear is one of the benefits of the redemption that Jesus Christ paid the utmost price for.
4. Hear what the Bible says concerning this: “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:14-15
5. Another benefit of redemption is access to the throne of the Almighty God (Hebrews 4:16, Ephesians 2:18). At His throne, we lay down our petitions for His supernatural intervention over the challenges of our lives.
6. Be assured in your spirit that once you are redeemed, you are in direct contact with the Almighty God. What brought about this privilege? Redemption!
7. For these reasons, if you are not yet saved, I am inviting you to the cross of Calvary, where Jesus Christ paid for your redemption in full.
8. Confess your sins and accept Him as Lord and Saviour. Promise Him that you will abide by His Word and never to go back to the world.
9. Something extraordinary will happen to you if you sincerely do this now. If you are a believer and you are still wallowing in fear, know that this is not your inheritance in Christ.
10. Are you in doubt concerning your redemption in Christ? Consider where you may have missed your way and retrace your steps back to Calvary; restoration of your redemptions awaits you there.
SHORT REFLECTION BY THE LIGHT POINTERS
The sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary where He gave Himself for our sins is to reconcile us back to God that we may fully possess our inheritance in God. And the truth is that all these gifts and inheritances are good and perfect. They are such that gives liberty and total freedom from the deceit and shackle of the devil. Fear according to Bible Scholars is the direct opposite of Faith. It also comes by hearing but not the word of God. Faith according to 1 Corinthians 12 is one of the gifts of God through which we can conquer fear. God’s plan and purpose for us is not only to live above sin but also live in prosperity, health, light, faith among many other good things He has put in place for us His heirs.
The two powerful call in today’s devotional are these below;
* If you are not yet saved-Confess your sins and accept Him as Lord and Saviour. Promise Him that you will abide by His Word and never to go back to the world.
* If you have doubt concerning your redemption in Christ- Consider where you may have missed your way and retrace your steps back to Calvary; restoration of your redemptions awaits you there.
As we study the Open Heavens devotional daily, we are reminded of our Father’s love and how to please Him. We are grateful to God for the vessel through which we receive this revelations and insight daily: Pastor E.A Adeboye. God bless him greatly with greater knowledge in Jesus name.
Prayer Point
Father, please don’t let the flesh, the world and the devil rob me of the benefits of my redemption in Christ. Let the whole world know that I am your child
