SPRINGBOARD DAILY DEVOTIONAL

January 15.
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, distress, or persecution, or farmine, or nakedness or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us”(Romans 8:35-37).
The basic truths from our theme verses are that we can not walk alone – we’re in Him Justified and He’s in us glorified. It is called “Identification” which is a product of Christ’s substitutionary work on the cross. It means that the new creation is a stranger to evil. Via the love of God, what Jesus accomplished through His redemptive work provides a shield against every possible evil or circumstance that can be imagined now or in the future. It therefore means that you cannot be a victim of evil because being a victim is alien to the reality of your status of sonship.
Our opening text also states clearly that neither tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, nor sword can separate us from the love of God because in spite of them all, we’re more than conquerors. It doesn’t means you’ll conquer no matter what you are faced with in this world. No, its beyond that, that’s why its an over the top good news. It means that you have gone past merely conquering because the truth is that you conquered a long time ago in Christ.
It means therefore that you’re now living in the victory; that before the devil unleashes his attacks on you, you’d been adjudged a victor. It means that there’s no evil the devil may send your way, you’re above all of that. Distressing situations come; challenging situations come from the devil – but we’ve been already made overcomers.
The Bible says, “… who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the  will of our God and Father (Galatians 1:4).”   Evidently, the will of God is that no matter what will come your way, you’ll come out stronger and unruffled. So don’t allow the circumstances of life make you a victim.

REFERENCES:
 Acts 20:24;  Psalm 91:1-8
PRAYER:   Dear Father, I refuse to exalt any situation that’s contrary to your word. I acknowledge my status as a victor, in Jesus Name – Amen.

 WE PASSIONATELY CARE ABOUT YOU
     We believe there is a void in every person that only a relationship with God can fill. We’re not referring to finding religion or joining a particular church we are referring to having a relationship with your heavenly father through his son Jesus Christ. We believe that knowing him is the source of true peace and fulfillment in life we encourage you to pray thus: Jesus, I believe you died for me and rose from the dead I hereby confess you as my lord and savior. I receive the life of God into my spirit and now am born again.
Thank you lord Jesus for the new life I have now in you. In Jesus name – amen

                                                  January 29. “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11) The life that we’ve been called to live in Christ is the transcendent life. It is a life that’s far removed from failure and defeat. It is a life in the word of God. To manifest the glory and splendor of this life, the word of God should become an integral part of us; what we live by. At salvation, we became associates of the God-kind; we’re joint heirs with Christ. Why then should any Christian suffer defeat and pain? The problem is that we’ve not given the word of God its proper place in our lives. God gave us His word to live by. His word is the revelation of His will, nature and character an...

February 18. “The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available (dynamic in its working)” (James 5:16 Amp) The happenings in our environments and the world over calls for our importunity in prayer. Out of ignorance a lot of people are blaming God for certain occurrences in their lives. But if things must change in the direction of God’s original plans and purposes, then we must keep praying. God knows that there’s no situation a child of His cannot change because the divine power necessary to effect such change is already resident in you; it was deposited in you the moment you became born again. God doesn’t expect you to cry out for help or start complaining but He expects you to enforce your victory in the place of prayer. I Kings 17 tells us of Elijah’s  confrontation with Ahab the king where he said, “… As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my ...

                                                  January 19. “And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great” (Genesis 26:13) Child of God, your journey this year has been ordained only in one direction – upward and forward. This is exactly the way God has called you to live your life. He wants your life to be that of progressand advancement – not in theory but practically. It means that at the end of this year, success will be evidently seen in every area of your life. This is because as a joint heir with Christ, you have the nature to be absolutely successful. You must therefore make up your mind to develop a consciousness – a mentality that’s consistent with your personality in Christ. Bible says, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). So, you must refuse thoughts of failure occupy your heart bec...
