SPRINGBOARD DAILY DEVOTIONAL


March 14
“My little children, these things write i unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:1-2).
You might have come across certain people who have been Christians for long, yet not grounded and settled in simple realities and truths of the kingdom. They aren’t growing hence it is hard for them to accept all of what the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ has made available to them. This has left a lot of believers disquieted, unsettled and tormented.
As a Christian, you need to be deeply rooted and grounded in faith and it is having precise knowledge of the truth about your personality in Christ that will help the believer get to that. And your personal study of, and meditation of the word of God is very vital. Just going to church isn’t enough.
I’m always overwhelmed by the depth of the Father’s love for us. All that Jesus did was to display the father’s love for us. It is a fact that even if you were the only person here on earth, Jesus would have still comes to die to save you. When Jesus resurrected from the dead, He was appointed as our advocate against the devil who is described in the Bible as the accuser of God’s people (Revelation 2:10).
Apostle Paul speaking in Romans 8:25 said, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ…” it means that nothing, not even your mistakes can pull you out of God’s hand. It is the love of God that took Jesus to the cross; it is that same love that brought Him out of the grave; and after salvation, it is the same love that keeps the believer (John 10:28-30; Hebrews 7:25).
So you should know that every time the devil tries to accuse you and make you feel undeserving of God’s blessings, Jesus your advocates with the Father speaks in your defence. Jesus is not there begging God to have mercy on you. No, the Father’s love on you make it impossible for God’s wrath to come to you. Jesus is there to present you holy and unblamable to the Father (Colossians 1:22).
Stop struggling and arguing with the devil; it is impossible to be disadvantaged when the advocate is on your side. Remember as Jesus is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17) you’re not inferior to Him and He is not superior to you hence He calls you brethren (Hebrews 2:11). Remember that you’re eternally preserved in the love of God and there’s nothing the devil can do about it.

Dear Father, thank you for giving Jesus as my advocate. I am free

 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...
