Wisdom For The Day Devotional 13 April 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – God Will Never Be Against The Believer
TOPIC: God Will Never Be Against The Believer (TREM Devotional 13 April 2024)
“Let your conversation be without covetousness, and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Hebrews 13:5 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
Beloved, I want to remind you that, as a believer, God is always for you. He will never be against you. In the Book of Genesis Chapter 3, God did not abandon him even when Adam blew it. Rather, He killed an animal, spilt the blood, and covered him so that he would not be naked. God made every step and move to show man that He is for him.
There are revelations that when you receive them in your Spirit, the devil will certainly be far from you. The devil will only be active around you when you refuse to know what belongs to you. The Book of Daniel 11:32 tells us that: “… the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits.” (KJV). This is because knowing God is knowing yourself and what is available to you.
Religion has presented God as a God who is always looking for your next mistake, hunting for your failure, and watching at the corner to see when you will fail again. God has been presented as someone looking to judge you, throw a hammer on your head, and hurt you. The result is that so many people are afraid of God.
The good news is that God did not come to look for your mistake. He came to show you what is right with you. He came to show you that He has made you right so you can know it. Do you know that Jesus did not come for the Church, basically? He came for sinners. While we were yet sinners, He died for us. That is why any person who does not receive Jesus has himself to blame. Jesus came for you. He did not come to find out your sin. He came to die for you. So, He can never be against you. He is in you, and He is for you.
