SPRINGBOARD DAILY DEVOTIONAL

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith…”
(Ephesians 3:17).

God expects every child of His to excel in every good work: it means we are graced to excel in life. 2 Corinthians 9:8 says, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work”. The new creation is furnished with super ability and competence. This puts him in a position where he displays excellence in all things.
“Eutarkeia” is the Greek word for “sufficiency” as captured in the above verse of the scripture and it indicates a state of self-sufficiency to the point where one requires no support. That’s the proof of the God-life you have now; it is effective, efficient and balanced.
“Hikanotes” is another Greek word for sufficiency and its usage is found in 2 Corinthians 3:5 that says, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God”. And this refers to competence; being qualified enough to be able; to be up to the task.
But a lot of believers don’t believe they have all it takes to excel in life; they’re always complaining the way life is treating; they’re today up and tomorrow down; they’re not walking in the vantage position of their placement in Christ. We’re in the era of rest, ruling and reigning with the king, seated with Him in the heavenlies (Ephesians 2:6).
For a believer to think and live from this perspective of limitless possibilities and endless opportunities, he must see first with God’s light. You cannot function with this mindset except you see with His light. The word of God is light (Psalm 119:105) and the scripture tells us to walk in the light as God is the light.
Seeing with the light means seeing by the word; it means your judgment, opinions and mindset are informed, influenced and inspired by the truth of the word of God. The word of God is what will create a mindset of a victor in you. With this mindset, you know you can never be defeated, you’re a victor and champion irrespective of any circumstances. Step out today with a settled mindset of a victor refuse to cower where challenges arises. You’re made for the top.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for your word that is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I walk in the reality of your word daily, 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...
