Topic: The Redemption Process: God’s love expressed
Text: Colossians 2: 13-15
Golden Text: When you were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, (Colossians 2:13)

God’s love is unconditional. He gave His Son, Jesus Christ, as a ransom for us. His most treasured possession was what he gave in exchange for our redemption from the shackles of the devil (John 3:16).
Despite our every wrongdoing, since the time of Adam, His love never left us. In Romans 5:8, an expression of God’s love was revealed- “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”. Although God’s love is free and extended to all, it comes with a call to action. In John 3:16, the Bible says “for God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have life eternal”. We are simply to just believe in His Son, and we will partake of His beautiful gift of redemption offered to us. To believe is to have faith in or to trust. We are expected to just have faith in Jesus Christ, that He is the son of God, and then we receive eternal life.
Now, this is how redemption works. Pre-redemption, we are dead in spirit as a result of our sins which separated us from God, the source of our life and living. However, when we believe in Christ the Son and accept Him as the Son of God, and our Lord and Savior, we also accept His life. Good news-this life is eternal! At redemption, there is a resurrection of our Spirit. We are rejoined with the source of our life-God.
Redemption was made possible with the death of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Cavalry at Golgotha. Before this time, the Devil had legal control of our lives, our dominion, and the Earth because we simply owed him. Man’s dominion was lost to the Devil after the fall of Adam, our foremost ancestors. After the death and resurrection of our Saviour, the legality of our dominion was restored to us because Christ paid our debts to the Devil with His life. Therefore, the moment we accept Him as our Saviour, we tap into His sacrifice, and we now receive a seal of redemption called the Holy Spirit. This seal shows that our debts of sins have been paid for completely, and our legal rights of dominion, power, and life are now restored to us (now ours).
I beseech you to come experience this love today. Believe that Christ is the son of God, Accept His life, and confess your wrongdoings at His feet. Ask Him to save you today, and He surely will.

Prayer: Lord, I recognize your love today. Help me to experience it. Help me to believe in your son, Jesus Christ. I confess my sins today, and I accept you, Lord Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I accept your life and the seal of the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit comes into my life today, come help me live this life that I have found. Thank you, Jesus Christ. Amen.

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...
