Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | December 14, 2019. Enrich and Sustain your relationship with Jesus reading our daily devotional – The one who practices sin [separating himself from God, and offending Him by acts of disobedience, indifference, or rebellion] is of the devil [and takes his inner character and moral values from him, not God]; for the devil has sinned and violated God’s law from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. – 1 John 3:8
Beloved, it is very important for you in particular to understand the essence of the coming of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, who was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Majority of t the people in the church and the world globally are deliberately ignorant and today’s merchandise and motivational speakers are taking advantage of them. You should not be part of the ignorant world.
Jer 5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
Beloved, you are familiar with the misfortune at Eden, when Adam and Eve gave in to the deception of satan and lost the image of God.
The principal reason why our Lord was sent to this world by your loving Father in heaven was to undo this misfortune and restore dignity and nature of God lost through the deception back to humanity.
Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Ephesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
This was exactly what Jesus came to do. It is very important that you ensure now and here on this side of heaven that it has been done in your own life. The principal work of the devil is to ensure humanity are dead in sin.
But the substitutional sacrifice of Christ is to undo it and make them and you in particular to be dead to sin.
Eph 2:1 — 2 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
This was the outcome and consequence of the misfortune at Eden.
But now that Jesus had gone to the cross and paid the gruesome price, this is what believers and you should experience until you are ultimately taken to glory.
God”s grace shall make this attainable without stress. See it yourself.
1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Rom 6:1 — 2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Tit 2:11 — 12 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Beloved see how the scriptures amplified what Jesus was sent to do by the Father.
1 John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Rom 3:25 — 26 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
Beloved, pause and sincerely examine yourself whether this has been your own experience.
I am persuaded that it should be so, just in case it is not reach out now to Calvary and cry out for it and let the blessed Holy Spirit confirms to you that it is done.
Rom 8:14 — 16 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 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. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Dearly beloved, Jesus during His earthly ministry and by extension the works of faithful ministers in Bible days till the end of time, have done everything to save all believers from satanic errors.
You in particular shall be saved in Jesus name.
2 Peter 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
This error is simply making following Christ gain and not godliness. See it yourself.
1 Timothy 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
God’s eternal and infallible words command you to turn away from merchandise and motivational speakers who major on secondary or blessings of Calvary, while they deliberately trivialize it’s essence and purpose.
See the warnings in the scriptures.
2Pe 2:1 — 3 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
Rom 16:17 — 18 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Dearly beloved why are you following Jesus? To gain healings, deliverance and divers prosperity or to secure your eternal well-being through His shameful and painful sacrifice and then enjoy God’s additional blessings? You must answer this question with your life in particular.
This was the principal reason Jesus came to the world. See it yourself. He came to save sinners, by destroying the works of the devil in their lives. Don’t ever ever forget..
1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Isa 53:4 — 10 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities:the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made
May the Lord help you to be wise unto salvation in Jesus name.
Friend, no doubt the rapture is dawning. You shall be part of it in Jesus name. However, anyone and everyone, inside or outside the church who still have not recovered what satan made Adam and Eve to lost at Eden shall never ever be part of it.
Why is this so?
1. It is when anyone recovered what Adam lost through the sacrifice of Christ that his or her name enters the book of life. When this has not happened, then such a person is doomed and damned. You shall not be doomed and damned in Jesus name. So ensure your own name is written in the book of life.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
2. It is by wholeheartedly embracing and appropriating the finished work of Christ on the cross that you can be cleansed from all sins.
Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Eph 5:25 — 27 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Friend, this then becomes a compulsion that Jesus’s sacrifice must destroy the works of the devil in your life in particular.
1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
When this is done such a person is saved, justified and rapture ready. No doubt you are. But if not come to Calvary now. Jesus is able to save to the uttermost. He can set you free from all besetting sins.
Rom 5:8 — 10 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
