The blood of the son...That he laid down his life for the sins of the world by FaithfulnessII NGDw

Wednesday, 8th of January 2023 Devotion.
Topic: The Blood of the Son.
Texts:Leviticus 5:6 &  John 3:16
           _" And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord for his sin which he had sinned,  a female from the flock,  a lamb or a kid of the goats,  for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin" (Leviticus 5:6 KJV)_
         _"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,  that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life"( John 3:16 KJV)._

What would life be now if not for the love of God greatly demonstrated toward us by the offering of His only begotten Son as an atonement for our sins.... 

Atonements for sins before the gospel of Christ used to be something which could be done by the wealthy people alone.  

God hasn't created us equally,  we can't be rich the same way,  there are two sides to life,  good and bad, light and darkness, heaven and earth,  man and woman,  same as _the the rich and the poor._

In those days,  only the rich who could afford to buy animals such as flocks,  goats,  pigeons etc, were able to have their sins atoned for.

But God so loved(loves) the world (John 3:16), and being a God of justice and love,  seeing that sin has come to be the nature of man and to ensure  that all men( Both the rich and the poor) are saved from the damnation of sins(Romans 6:23). He sent His only begotten son(John 3:16) to the world, who (Son)  suffered for the sins He never committed, He was bruised and afflicted,  He went through excruciating pains and His blood was shed on the cross as an atonement for the sins of all that repents of their sins( Acts 3:19) and believes in the heart and confesses with the mouth,  His Lordship.

Prayer
Father, we thank you for the gift of your dear Son, who died for our sake. We pray that you help us to fully repent of our sins and forever believe in the Lordship of your Jesus Christ. Amen.

THE PROMISE KEEPER...When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned...

Tuesday, June 27th, 2023 Devotional Topic: The Promise Keeper Text:Isaiah 43:1-6 Isa 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. James was in the midst of a dilemma with what seemed like no way out. He lost his job. His children were sent out of school because they were owing school fees. His expensive laptop where he kept his work files was stolen. His house roof was leaking, which will cost a large sum to repair. His car broke down, which will also cost a lot to repair. Worst of it all, his wife was in the hospital, not responding to treatment.  Amidst everything, James was still calm, fearless, and thankful. James remembered God's promises for his life.   When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk t...

Tuesday 24th January 2023 Devotion TOPIC : put on the Full Armor of God  TEXT : Eph 6:10-18 LIGHT :And pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Vs 18 Itan is the prayer cord in his fellowship, a very fervent Christian brother, he has a place prepared for him by God.  Itan almost lost it when an opposite-sex coursemate visited him in his hostel freeing offering herself an unsolicited order. By God's grace and frequent prayer, Itan stood his ground. Afterward, Itan received a revelation on what could have happened to him if he did not defy the spirit.

For the battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces. The full armor of God is:  •The belt of...
