SPRINGBOARD DAILY DEVOTIONAL


March 10
“But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit” (1 Corinthians 6:17).
At salvation, what God did was to make the believer one with Him; the biggest thing about our salvation in Christ Jesus is our oneness with the Lord. We’re not mere believers or followers of Him, but we’re in fellowship with Him. Not only was our spirit recreated at salvation, we were immersed into Christ which means that you’re literally joined together with Him inseparably but are being separated from the world.
And now that we’re literally joined together with Him in an inseparable union, we’re members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones (Ephesians 5:30). His intention being that our thoughts and actions should always be in line with His purpose and will for our lives.
Consecration scripturally means to separate and treat differently. This is where the word holiness is derived from. A lot of people especially religious folks don’t really know what holiness is. We’re not called holy because we don’t do wrong; we’re not called holy because we’re sinless. Holiness means to set apart, that is why in the old covenant days, objects were called holy, even the children of Israel who were full of sins were called holy by God.
We’re holy because God call us holy; we’ve been separated and set apart for God; sanctified and called brethren. (Hebrews 3:1; 2:11)so consecration means to sanctify or dedicate something or make it available for God (Ephesians 1:3-4).
In 1 Peter 1:15, the Bible says, “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation”. God here is not telling us to try to be holy but informing us that we’re as holy as He is; God’s part was to call us holy, our part is to agree, acknowledge and identify with this status.
There is Holiness in verb and Noun. Holiness in verb refers to the believer’s actions, conduct, lifestyle reflecting holiness while holiness in noun refers to the believer’s nature which is holy. So it means that the believer must treat himself as he’s being called. How you treat your body explains whether you’re acknowledging your status of holiness nevertheless, your action doesn’t change God’s verdict on you. But as a child of God, God expects you to live always acknowledging and reflecting your nature of holiness.

1 Thessalonians 4:3; 1 John 3:9
PRAYER: 
Dear Father, I acknowledge that I am consecrated to you, hence I love my life reflecting who I am to the world, 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 – ame

                                                  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...
