SPRINGBOARD DAILY DEVOTIONAL

"… For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our savior; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”
(1 Timothy 2:1-4)
There’s a way some people think about the kingdom of God, the Gospel of the kingdom and Jesus that’s inconsistent with the complete purpose of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection. A lot of people think that He only came to save us from sin and that’s true because the Bible says, “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commandeth his love towards u, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:6-8).
Beyond their salvation, many people are not taught that there’s much more in the kingdom that the coming of Jesus has made possible. The death of Jesus Christ was to handle the issue of sin because the Bible says that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). But His resurrection has brought us to the point where we now have access to all that’s available in the kingdom. Although the resurrection of Jesus wouldn’t be possible if not for His death.
The Amplified Version of Deuteronomy 6:23 explains this better as it says, “And he brought us out from there, that He might bring us in to give us the land which He sword to give our fathers”. The above verse of the scripture actually proves that the reason why he brought us out (our salvation) was so that He might bring us in (we became part of God’s family) and the reason He brought us in is so that we can have access to all He has.  So it therefore let us know that His death was a means to an end; to enter into His glory and to bring many sons into glory (Luke 24:26; Hebrews 2:10; John 17:22).
According to our theme verse (I Timothy 2: 1-4).God’s desire is for all men to be saved and come to the knowledge (Greek: epignosis) of the truth. It is when a believer has this knowledge that he will know that beyond salvation, there are things freely given to us (1 Corinthians 2:12).When you come to Christ not only will you be forgiven your sins, you’ll also receive an inheritance. This is what the knowledge (epignosis) of the truth makes you aware of, know that Jesus’s death dealt with your sin but His resurrection brought you into oneness with your father where all He has belongs to you.

 Acts 26:18; Ephesians 1:11

PRAYER: 
Dear Father, I thank you for the awareness of my right to access all that kingdom has to offer, 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...
