Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | December 22, 2019. Enrich and Sustain your relationship with Jesus reading our daily devotional – For everyone born of God [ who is a child of god ] is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith and believe [in Jesus the Son of God] – 1 John 5:4
Beloved, if you go back to memory lane, you will discover saints of old that benefitted immensely from God, were those who had faith in His unfailing and unchanging faithfulness.
In deed God your loving Father in heaven is a faithful, dependable and reliable personality.
Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
1Co 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Beloved, if you too shall benefit from God like the saints of old , you must have and manifest unwavering faith in His dependable faithfulness.
This is because without such faith, you can not receive anything from Him.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jam 1:5 — 8 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
The likes of Noah who have never seen rain but believed God enough to build an ark and saved himself and his family.
Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
Think of Abraham that staggered not at the promise of God, but trusted His unfailing faithfulness and had the promised son.
Rom 4:16 — 22 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Heb 6:13 — 16 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
Think of Sarah that had power to conceive a baby when she had passed the age but trusted in the faithfulness of God.
Hebrews 11:11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
Beloved, the blessed Holy Spirit wants you in particular to benefit greatly from God and so exhorts you on how to do it. See it yourself.
1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
You can overcome and receive every desired promise in the Bible through unwavering faith in the unfailing faithfulness of God. It is through this faith that you shall continually stop the manipulation of the devil.
Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked
Beloved you grow in that faith by conscientiously hearing and reading the word of God.
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
The good Lord shall help you in particular in Jesus name.
Dearly beloved, there was a virtue and beautiful attribute that our Lord had, that made believers in Bible days to cleave to Him and even submitted themselves to matydom
Rev 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
It was His trustworthy faithfulness.
Always remember this, please don’t ever forget. Our Lord is very faithful. See what the Bible says.
Hebrews 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
Our Lord taught His followers then and by extension His followers now and that includes you on the importance of having unwavering faith in God and His unfailing words in the Bible.
These were the things that builded them up. See for yourself.
Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
Mar 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Mar 11:23 — 24 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Luke 1:45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
John 11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
The Blessed Holy Spirit also encouraged believers of all ages and you in particular to have unwavering faith in God , in the name of Jesus and also patiently wait for the fulfilment of His promises. See them.
1. Unwavering Faith in God.
1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
2. Faith in the mighty name of Jesus.
Acts 3:16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
3. Patiently waiting for fulfilment of His unfailing promises.
Heb 10:35 — 39 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
Dearly beloved receive grace to do all these and be blessed like them in Jesus name.
Friend, you shall surely be part of the dawning rapture in Jesus name. All you need to do is ensure your faith in the faithfulness of God is not wavering or waning.
The Lord will help you in particular in Jesus name.
1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Friend when you conscientiously sustain your faith in God, it will enable you to do the following that shall facilitate your readiness when the imminent event takes place.
1. Submitting to God and resisting or giving no place to the devil.
Ephesians 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
2. Living by the entirety of God’s unfailing words in the Bible.
Rev 3:10 — 11 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
3 . Remaining faithful to God till Jesus comes through thick and thin..
Rev 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Rev 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
God’s grace Shall be sufficient for you in particular in Jesus name.
2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
