ULTIMATE CARE DEVOTIONAL🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2022🪐💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦TODAY’S THEME:⛪ BELIEVER’S SECURITY27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.TEXT: JOHN 10:27-29MESSAGE🍎The true believer in Jesus Christ is forever kept safe from guilt and condemnation before God, not minding whatever he or she may encounter in life’s journey. To believe that our security is in the Lord is to trust that the Lord is able to protect us from all evil and calamity, and to preserve our relationship with him and our salvation forever.Security is the state of being secured, such as freedom from danger, freedom from fear and anxiety. Security also means safety, as well as the measures taken to be safe or protected. Security cultivates situational awareness and maintains balance. Awareness is an ongoing activity, and people want to do the right thing, so security guides a positive and proactive culture.What does the Bible say about Believer’s Security?Believer’s Security is the assurance the believer has in Christ Jesus that he who is standing firm in the faith and working by the Spirit of the Lord can rest in the certainty that they are kept by the power of the Lord and their eternal salvation is secured.But what does the Bible really say about the security of the believer? These are two proofs:A. The testimony of Jesus.During his earthly ministry, Jesus made several statements concerning the security of believers.(27) “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:(28) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (29) My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand” (John 10:27-29)“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24)The two above assertions of Jesus Christ in John 10:27-29 and John 5:24, are clear proofs of believer’s security, if the believer continue to live in holiness and righteousness, because holiness and righteousness are the characters of Christ.B. The Seal of the Holy Ghost.The Father has graciously given the Holy Spirit to all believers as a pledge, or down payment of their future redemption.13 “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory”With this Holy Ghost sealed, the believer’s security is certain, if the believer continues to live in holiness and righteousness, not that the Holy Spirit of Holiness.Beloved, the kind of security you have, determines the kind of protection you get. The security of the child of God is the most powerful and most potent of all securities in the world.You have all the help and protection you need; therefore, do not fear, but be conscious of what you have and use it. Praise the Lord! Glory to God!PRAYERS🔑Heavenly Father, I thank You for giving me the grace to know that I am rightly secured in you. Thank you for your divine protection and security over my life and family. Help me to continue to live in holiness to the fulfilling of my divine mandate on earth. Empower me to walk in a way pleasing unto you always, in Jesus mighty name, Amen.I present today’s activities to you, Father, help me shake and destroy the plans and caprices of the kingdom of darkness on my way in Jesus mighty name, Amen.FURTHER BIBLE READINGROMANS 8:29-39BIBLE READING PLANS FOR THE YEAR, 2022MORNING: JOSHUA,8-9EVENING: 1 TIMOTHY, 1-2💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦Author: Pastor NseAbasi Harry💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦HAMMER WORD BIBLE CHURCH, ABAK, NIGERIA CARES ⛪
