SPRINGBOARD DAILY DEVOTIONAL


 March 7
“l he shall go before, him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just (righteous)…”
(Luke 1:17).

Until a believer understands the importance of his “in Christ” status, he will keep struggling in his walk of faith. The realization of who he is, what he has and his abilities in Christ as contained in the epistles is what will make his victory over Satan and his cohorts a mere work over. The greatest thing said of the new creation is that he is in Christ hence Paul in his mandate to disclose the revelation of the mystery used signature phrases like “in Him”, “in whom” and “in Christ”.
These signature phrases is what describes who we are, where we are, what we now have and most importantly our sonship position in Him now. By implication, it means we have become to Him (God) what Jesus is (the son) is to Him. We have the nature and attributes that made Jesus so beautiful to the world and made Him stand out as the most unusual character the ages have ever seen.
The expression “the wisdom of the righteous” in our theme verse means that the believer has a certain kind of wisdom. The Greek word for wisdom as captured in the verse of the scripture is “Phronesis”; it refers to a mindset; a fixed mental attitude or a disposition that predetermines a person’s responses to situations and his interpretation of those situations.
This is the kind of mindset every believer ought to possess because the challenge most believers have is that they do nothing about their minds after salvation and so they end up facing and living like the unbelievers. “Phronesis” speaks of a mental attitude that influences your actions under a given situation; a programming of your mind to reason, respond, interpret a situation and behave in a way that’s different from others but excellently.
This kind of mindset is what keeps you calm in the midst of daring situations; it help you make the right decision and choices with the assurance of victory in your heart. It is the word of God that helps you form the right mindset – one that can soar above any situation and at any time. It’s what gives you enduring success even when others are failing. So make the best investment in your mind today and be assured of outstanding results in all your dealings.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for enriching my heart via your word. I am an overcomer 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...
