Daily Devotion

Where would we be without Jesus? Such an important question but how would many answer? Jesus came to earth for one reason and it was to redeem humanity from the sinful nature. He died and rose so that we would live unto God through him. He made us as he his by giving us his nature which is holiness and righteousness.” For he hath made him be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (King James Bible,1769/2017, 2 Corinthians 5:21). Without Jesus every soul would be in hell. He defeated death on the cross for us and gave us eternity. Many might ask, why people still die? The truth is eternity doesn’t mean living forever on earth but having everlasting life in Christ which means you will live forever with him in heaven whether you die before he returns or not. Can a person be free from sin by doing good deeds? Can a person be free from sin by just going to Church? Can a person be free from sin by praying and acknowledging God? None of these things can make you a righteous man, only accepting Christ as Lord and Savior will set you free from a sinful nature. Going to Church, praying and acknowledging God, and doing good deeds are wonderful to do but one must be in Christ to live the life ordained by God.

If you would love to receive Christ as your Lord and Savior today, pray this prayer of repentance. Jesus, thank you for loving me and taking my place on the cross. I accept you as my Lord and Savior in my heart today. Amen

Knowing the word of God

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,  Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,  And say, Thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:  And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:  Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:  Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.  Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.  After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back f...

Knowing the word of God

The word of the Lord that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.  The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the Lord .  So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.  And the Lord said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.  And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.  And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Lo–ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take t...

Knowing the word of God

I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.  I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.  I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?  My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.  I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.  I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.  The watchmen that went abou...
