SPRINGBOARD DAILY DEVOTIONAL



February 27.
“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,  the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him; That the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power” 
(Ephesians 1:17-19)
Jesus’ coming was to help the suffering humanity and the time has come to clear the rubble of religious, tradition that has obscured the believers understanding of his identity in Christ; a time to re-establish fundamental truths on the bedrocks of the finished, complete work of Christ.
Many believers today are being taken  in by the devil’s deception witnessed in teachings that make the believer look like a weakling even though he is seated with Christ in the heavenlies, far above all powers, principalities of darkness. No demon can defer the believer who is seated with Christ far above all the works of the enemy. Our sitting and reigning with Christ in the heavenlies is a function of authority, honour and triumph, not failure, depression or defeat. 
The believer is a product of Jesus’ resurrection, meaning he is triumphant and victorious but why does it seem so many believers are subject to satan and his demons? Whether or not the believer is enjoying that victory over the devil depends on what revelation knowledge of His resurrection he has and he can only know his true identity when Christ is revealed to him. Hence Paul spent time in the epistles to pray for the churches and one of such prayers is captured in our theme verses.
The Bible says, “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue” (2 Peter 1:3). The above verse of the Bible lets us know that the life we’ve been called to live in Christ is far removed from failure and defeat because we’re associates of the God-kind. The Bible also says that he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit (1 Corinthians 6:17). So beyond our salvation, we’ve been brought into union with Christ; we’re not people struggling to attain God’s level, you’re already one with Him. Everything you require for a life of absolute success, victory, dominion, glory and righteousness has already been granted you in Christ. No wonder Paul said, “… all things are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21). The reason many believers suffer is lack of knowledge, so give yourself to studying, meditating and applying God’s word in every area of your life. That’s the secret of unending success in the kingdom.

PRAYER: 
Dear Father, I thank you for the revelation of who I am in Christ as revealed in your word. My life is a testimony of the revelation of God’s grace, 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...
