GOD'S GIFT TO US

 


Bible Reading: Psalm 106:1-12

Text: "Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. "(Romans 6:6-7 NKJV) 

COMMENTARY:

From the beginning, God never intended His people to remain in bondage.

In Scripture, we see how God’s people suffered under Egyptian oppression until He, in His power and mercy, delivered them. Not only did He set them free, but He also led them through the wilderness toward the Promised Land.

However, the greatest slavery one can experience is bondage to sin.

When we reflect on Israel’s exodus from Egypt, we find hope in the extraordinary lengths God goes to in order to free His people. His ultimate act of deliverance came through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer.

At the appointed time, God provided salvation for all mankind (Romans 6:1-23, Revelation 1:4-6). Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, history was forever changed, offering humanity the gift of true freedom.

Jesus loves us so much that He made the ultimate sacrifice, laying down His life so that we could stand blameless before God. Now, as His children, we have full access to the throne of grace—not as slaves but as freed sons and daughters.

All that is required of us is to:

Believe the truth about Jesus.

Stake our lives on Him.

Accept His gift of salvation.


Before you sleep tonight, ask yourself:

 "Have I accepted His gift of freedom?"

Make sure you settle this matter in your heart before the night is over.


PRAYER POINTS:

1. O! Lord, set me free from every captivity and bondage of sin and guilt

2. Dear Lord, help me to accept the gift of salvation in Christ Jesus and walk in His ways. Amen

3. Consecrate me Lord, from anything that would defile me to separate me

Sleeping Capsule

You will know the truth (Jesus) and the truth will set you free. (John 8:32)

THE GOD OF COVENANT

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
