Wisdom For The Day Devotional 20 July 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Christ Did It For You
TOPIC: Christ Did It For You (TREM Devotional 20 July 2024)
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:” – Galatians 3:13 (KJV)
Wisdom For The Day MESSAGE:
Our Christian faith is hinged on the cross and all that Jesus accomplished through His death, burial, and resurrection. Therefore, we must never minimize the sacrifice and fully embrace the benefits because everything that Jesus did was for us. He paid the supreme price so that we could enjoy the benefits. Sin has been dealt with! Sickness, disease, barrenness, poverty, and lack had all been dealt with at the cross. The price has been paid in full, and Jesus, “…said, It is finished…” John 19:30 (KJV).
When Jesus went to the cross, He took your place. Every debt you owed, He paid. That is why sin can no longer have dominion over you. He represented you on the cross! He took the stripes for you. He took the shame of the cross. He paid the full price!
Beloved, everything that Jesus did was for you. He hung on the tree and became a curse in your place so that the blessing can be yours. He did it for you! Why would you leave your blessing on the table? Why won’t you enjoy the benefits?
Child of God, you are not cursed! You are blessed! Never tolerate anything in your life other than the blessing. When the enemy comes with sickness, disease, and discouragement, send them back to him, and let him know that they are not for you. Your part is the blessing!
We can live whole and free because the price has been fully paid. He fulfilled the condition necessary for the blessings mentioned in Deuteronomy 28:1-13 to be yours. I pray that your heart will be flooded with light so that you may know all that Jesus has given you freely. Your lips will surely testify. Nothing will truncate the colourful destiny that God has ordained for you before the foundation of the world. I bless you today in Jesus’ name.
