ULTIMATE CARE DEVOTIONAL ⛪💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2022.Today’s Theme: ⛪️ VICTORY IN CHRIST JESUS“They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns; for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them”Text: Psalm 118:12MESSAGE:🍎Victory is the act of defeating your opponent or enemy in battle. Victory can also be defined as overcoming in a difficult problems or situations. Our victory as believers is anchored on Jesus. “For every one that is born of God overcometh the world. This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4).Our Lord Jesus, by his death, did not purchase a right to a part of us only, but to the entire man. He contemplated in his passion the sanctification of us wholly, spirit, soul, and body; that in this triple kingdom he himself might reign supreme without a rival. It is the business of the newborn nature which God has given to the regenerate to assert the rights of the Lord Jesus Christ. My soul, so far as thou art a child of God, thou must conquer all the rest of thyself which yet remains unblest; thou must subdue all thy powers and passions to the silver sceptre of Jesus’ gracious reign, and thou must never be satisfied till he who is King by purchase becomes also King by gracious coronation, and reigns in thee supreme. Seeing, then, that sin has no right to any part of us, we go about a good and lawful warfare when we seek, in the name of God, to drive it out. O my body, thou art a member of Christ: shall I tolerate thy subjection to the prince of darkness? O my soul, Christ has suffered for thy sins, and redeemed thee with his most precious blood: shall I suffer thy memory to become a storehouse of evil, or thy passions to be firebrands of iniquity? Shall I surrender my judgment to be perverted by error, or my will to be led in fetters of iniquity? No, my soul, thou art Christ’s, and sin hath no right to thee.1 Corinthians 15:57 states, “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ”.Be courageous concerning this, O Christian! be not dispirited, as though your spiritual enemies could never be destroyed. You are able to overcome them—not in your own strength—the weakest of them would be too much for you in that; but you can and shall overcome them through the blood of the Lamb, even our Lord Jesus Christ.Do not ask, “How shall I dispose them, for they are greater and mightier than I?” but go to the strong for strength, wait humbly upon God, and the mighty God of Jacob will surely come to the rescue, and you shall sing of victory through his grace. Don’t forget our victory, our total victory, our ultimate victory is through our Saviour Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57)PRAYERS♨️Heavenly Father, I thank you for the love you have for me and all men.I know I am living in the victory you granted me through Jesus Christ. Father, empower me with the right strength and courage for this victory in Jesus mighty name Amen.Father, as I step out today, my going out is secured in Christ Jesus and my returning is secured in him. Empower me O Lord to fulfill my purpose in life in Jesus mighty name, Amen.FURTHER BIBLE READING1 CORINTHIANS 15: 55-58; PSALM 118:1-29BIBLE READING PLAN FOR THE YEAR, 2022MORNING: GENESIS, 47-48EVENING: LUKE, 3-4💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦Author: Pastor NseAbasi Harry💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦HAMMER WORD BIBLE CHURCH, ABAK, Nigeria, Cares ⛪
