SPRINGBOARD DAILY DEVOTIONAL


SUNDAY 30TH OCTOBER, 2022

*"Even everyone that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him"* (Isaiah 43:7).
        Many believers are yet to come to terms with their identity in CHRiSt hence, they keep scrapping with unpleasant experiences - however such experiences are avoidable or summountable. Actually, there are two ways to go about life; the first is to depend on your efforts, struggle and credentials. And the other is to depend completely on the grace of God - the unearned, undeserve and unmerited favour of God, having been sourced from God at salvation: *"Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures"* (James 1:18); you've been given the ability to become the best you could be. That is why Christian living must always be well explained from the Scriptures. Our thought pattern as christians should only be substantiated from the Bible, and shouldn't rest within the borders of our experiences which can arise from thoughts averse to the revelation of the scriptures. 
             We're living in an era of the fulfillment of God’s dream which is for you to be at your best. You’re God’s peculiar child, His highly prized possession, perfectly separated from sin, sickness, poverty and failure unto the good life. The Bible says, *"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them”* (Ephesians 2:10). God lives in you by His Spirit in order to make you become that dream that you have in your heart. Never you pay attention to your senses; never you talk negatively about yourself. Colossians 4:6 says, “ *Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer everyman".* You don’t have to wait for things to happen, rather, find a way to get it fixed. The most common trait I have found in all successful people is that, they have conquered the temptation to easily give up. 
            The main reason we aren’t receiving God's best is because we're willing to settle for less. Very few are committed to God’s best. We have been influenced more by the world than by God’s Word and made to accept far less than what God has provided. As long as you accept God's less, you will live with it. You have to get tired of staying down before you will aggressively pursue God’s best. You have to have a holy dissatisfaction with mediocrity before you can experience all that God has for you; this doesn’t happen accidentally or automatically. If you don’t pursue it, you won’t get it. One of these days, we are all going to know better than we've known. 1Corin.13:12 says, *"For now we see through a glass, dimly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known".* We will understand that the same power that raised Christ from the dead was resident within us all along (Eph.1:18-20). We will discover that we didn’t have to be sick, depressed or discouraged. 
             Moses lived under an inferior covenant compared to ours (2Cor. 3:7-11). Jesus said John the Baptist was greater than Moses, yet the least New Testament saint is greater than John (Matt.11:11). Therefore, if Moses was still strong at 120 with good eyesight (Deut. 34:7), why would we settle for less? You should be willing to stand and fight the fight of faith, or you will be overcome by this world. If you don’t stir yourself up, you will settle for the bottom.The world isn’t going to encourage you toward God’s best, and most believers aren’t either. I encourage you to begin receiving God’s best. It doesn’t matter where you are now, what matters is where you are going to. God has ordained you to be the best and you cannot be anything less.

                                                  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...
