Wisdom For The Day Devotional 10 August 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo | It Is Finished
TOPIC: It Is Finished (TREM Devotional 10 August 2024)
“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, it is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” John 19:30 (KJV)
Wisdom For The Day MESSAGE:
I encourage you today to begin seeing yourself as God sees you so you can genuinely rule and reign in life. For so long, many believers have lived as if God was waiting around the corner with a hammer, watching to see if they would make a mistake. This has robbed many of the joy and liberty of the Christian life. What Christ did for you at Calvary was completely complete and perfectly perfect.
You must believe in this revelation and receive it, because only then will you be empowered to function here on earth. I am tired of believers living as if sin is more potent than what Jesus did for us on the cross. On the cross, Jesus bore your sins past, present, and future and declared with a loud voice – IT IS FINISHED. In other words, I have paid the supreme price once and for all time. God no longer sees you as a sinner. He now sees you in Christ. Don’t you ever forget that the Father poured out His wrath on His only begotten Son, and He has no more wrath to pour on you.
Beloved, I know you still make mistakes now and then, but that does not make you a sinner. Remember that the fact that you passed through a garage does not make you a car. By the same token, falling into one sin or the other does not make you a sinner. Understand that you can never get rid of sin in your life through your effort or your resolutions. That is why Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 3:18 says, ‘’But we all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord are changed into the same image from glory to glory even as by the Spirit of the Lord.’’ When you see yourself the way God sees you, the Holy Ghost works in you to change you into what you see.
