SRPINGBOARD DAILY DEVOTIONAL


 February 16.
“And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one” (John 17:22)
The revelation communicated in the above verse of the scripture is a reflection of our identity in Christ Jesus.Jesus in the above statement wants us to know that the Father loves us so much and we are same species as Him (James 1:18). Jesus even confirmed this in the next verse when He said, “I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me” (John 17:23).
The implication of the above truth is that you are not different from Jesus Christ if you’re born again. Jesus is the “First begotten” of the dead (Revelation 1:5). The word “first begotten” is the Greek word “prototokos” and it means prototype, model or sample. It means the every born again child of God is modeled after Christ Jesus. (Not the incarnate Christ but the resurrected Christ).
This affirms that we also have become partakers of the same glory the Father gave to Jesus; we’re exactly like Jesus in His glory state. The writer of Hebrews puts it thus: “For both he that santifieth and they who are sanctified are all one: for this cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren” (Hebrews 2:11). Jesus is the very brightness of God’s glory and the expression of God’s glory. God gave Him the glory and He in turn gave it to us – Glory!
Jesus came with the Father’s glory to deliver mankind and He perfectly did that. Now you also have same glory and you’re also a deliverer. The Bible says, “Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion to govern the mountains of Esau, And the Kingdom will be the LORD’s”. (Obediah 1:21 NIV).You cannot keep quiet and see people die in their sins. You ought to show the people around you that you’re a deliverer – that you have the glory. You ought to be the best for God.
As you recognize and meditate on the fact that you’re a carrier of the glory of God and a deliverer, it will transform you from  inside out and the effect will be that your hunger for souls will be insatiable as you will keep going for more souls. Make up your mind to be all out to manifest His glory and display His praises to the world around you. Show the world that you’re a representation and a representative of God and His kingdom.

PRAYER: 
Dear Father, thank you for the revelation of your word to me. Thank you for making me a deliverer and a sharer of your life and glory, 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...
