Daily Devotional: RECOGNIZING OUR AUTHORITY IN HIS NAME And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus(Ephesians 2:6).

Daily Devotional: THE AFFIRMATION PRINCIPLE But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Daily Devotional: RIGHTEOUSNESS GIVES YOU DOMINION For if by one man’s offence deathreigned by one; much more they whichreceive abundance of grace and of thegift of righteousness shall reign in life byone, Jesus Christ(Romans 5:17). The literal translation of the word “reign” in theverse above is to “king” or “be king”; it’s theverb of kingship. So, you could actually say, “Theywhich receive abundance of grace and of the gift ofrighteousness

Daily Devotional: PROMOTE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south (Psalm 75:6). When God puts you in a particular job or business, His interest isn’t about the office or your designation.

Daily Devotional: IT WAS FOR YOUR SAKE For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). The verse above isn’t referring to spiritual riches and spiritual poverty. When you study the entire chapter in context, you’d understand Paul was dealing with financial and material prosperity. For

Daily Devotional: HE’S MINDFUL OF YOUR WORK For God, the Faithful One, is not unfair. How can he forget the work you have done for him? He remembers the love you demonstrate as you continually serve his beloved ones for the glory of his name (Hebrews 6:10 TPT). This is as inspiring as it’s comforting! Everything you do for the Lord is recorded, and He rewards you for it. He’s

Daily Devotional MEDITATE ON HIS TRUTHS But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory… (2 Corinthians 3:18). Sometimes, it’s possible to look at yourself and not seem like what God says you are. Even in this season of celebration, after all that has happened this year, you may think through your life

Daily Devotional: THE WORD ALIVE IN YOU And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:14).

Daily Devotional: CELEBRATING THE INCARNATE AND THE LIVING WORD …he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?(John 14:8-9). Even though Christmas, which is the celebration of the birth of Jesus, is inarguably the most popular holiday in the world, there are still many who don’t know who Jesus really is. To some, He’s a great religious leader. But Jesus isn’t

Daily Devotional: CHRIST ALIVE IN YOUR HEART The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10).

Daily Devotional: TELL IT AROUND THE WORLD And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned(Mark 16:15-16).

Daily Devotional: NEVER ASHAMED OF HIM Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels (Mark 8:38).

Daily Devotional: MAKE YOUR LIFE GLORIOUS Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life (Galatians 6:5 MSG). Some Christians try to blame God for what actually is their responsibility. Oftentimes, when something unpleasant happens, they conclude that it’s the will of God; otherwise, “Why did He let it happen?” they muse. What we need to realise is that the authority to

Daily Devotional: HE’S THERE IN YOUR NAME In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
