Wisdom For The Day Devotional 8 October 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo | Leverage On The Sacrifice Of Jesus
TOPIC: Leverage On The Sacrifice Of Jesus (TREM Devotional 8 October 2024)
“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.” Romans 5:17 (KJV)
Wisdom For The Day MESSAGE:
To leverage something means to use it to its maximum advantage. So, it is not to use up to five per cent or ninety-nine per cent advantage, but the maximum one hundred per cent advantage. Our heritage as children of God is to reign as kings and queens in this life through Christ Jesus. This is not a suggestion but a guarantee. As far as God is concerned, everything that is required for you to reign in life has been provided already. But I would like to ask you today: “Are you truly reigning in life?”
The truth about the message of Grace and what Jesus accomplished for us at the cross is that the sacrifice of Jesus is perfectly perfect and entirely complete. If there was one thing that Jesus’ death did not deal with, He would not have risen. Christ paid for your complete and total victory here on earth. But the question is: How many of us are leveraging on this sacrifice?
Unfortunately, many believers continue to wallow in deprivation, poverty, lack, disappointment, and shame despite the embarrassment of riches that Christ’s sacrifice provided for us. Do you know why? It is because they have refused to take full advantage of the benefits of Jesus’ sacrifice. May this not be your portion!
I challenge you to make up your mind to be someone who not only understands the benefits of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus but maximises the benefits of this perfect sacrifice. The world is waiting for you. And I have an assurance that whatsoever you lay your hands to do shall prosper. I pray that as you walk in the consciousness of who you are in Christ, creation will answer to you. The ground that you walk upon will yield her increase for you. The God-advantage will speak for you in every area of your life.
