SPRINGBOARD DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Friday 8.

“Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemeth? It is Christ that died….”
(Romans 8:33-34)
Some people see God as a judge who is always waiting for you to make mistake so he can strike; they see God as a judge who has exacting demands on man; they see God as one who is mad at them because of their mistakes and as long as they keep repeating those mistake, they remain in the bad books of God. In fact, I have heard some people say they are failing because God is mad at them. Beloved, the truth is that as a believer, God does not bring any charge against you, instead he justifies you because of the blood of His son. Our theme verses affirms this truth as it makes us to know that the one who has the right to condemn us, chose instead to die for us and through that sacrificial death of His, we’re now justified.
To justify means to approve or to declare someone upright or to be declared right. It is a word used by judges- when a judge who is supposed to judge your case takes side with you by declaring you free, discharged, acquitted and not guilty as charged. Our justification is legal because of the involvement of Jesus’ blood – the blood of Jesus was the down payment for our sins to be wiped away. Therefore, as a child of God, you have no sin and you’re not guilty of any charges again – God cannot be angry with you.
But what the devil tries to do is to get you to believe that God watches you with a critical eye and is always out to punish you for all your failures. And he has deceived many sincere Christians into believing that if they do something wrong, some sort of sickness or curse will come upon them and their families. If these things happen, he convinces them that they’re suffering from the anger of God. In the meantime, you’ll see these sincere Christians struggling with condemnation because they think they’re the cause of their problems.
At the cross, God judged Jesus in your place – Jesus took all your punishments at the cross. So when the devil comes against you to condemn you, tell him, “It is written: it is God who justifies me, I am completely forgiven and made righteous before him. I refuse to accept any rejection nor condemnation because I know that my Father loves me and He’s not mad at me”.
Simply walk daily in this truth, let it be your mindset and watch your life move from glory to glory.

PRAYER: 
Dear Father, thank you for always reminding me in your word about my identity in you. I walk daily in this consciousness and my life keeps soaring, 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...
