Luke 8:22(KJV) Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

I am particularly interested in the life story of a madman who caught the attention of heaven. He was insane for years. Every effort to help him failed and he could not be chained. It was so bad that he harmed himself regularly. In this helpless state, Jesus found him and he was healed.

“And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs”. Luke 8:26-27 KJV

If God remembered this mad man forgotten by everyone, know that He has not forgotten you. If He cares for the birds and lilies; He cares even more for you (see Matthew 6:26-29). Do not give in to despair, help is on the way.

There is someone reading this devotional today: You want to begin to engage in something you know is evil because you are tired of hoping and waiting on God. This is the word of the Lord for you today “Help is on the way, hold on.”

Go into today knowing that God has not forgotten you. He crossed the lake and calmed the storm just to reach a madman. He will do the same and even more for you. He will come and save you, just lift up your eyes to Him.

Prayer: Lord, let your help locate me in Jesus’ name. Amen. Not yet saved? Tap: http://bit.ly/1iTOmol—Dr. James Emmanue

Romans 6:23(KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord

Wages are different from gifts. You work to earn a wage, but a gift is received not because you worked to earn it, but because of the benevolence of the person giving it.

When a gift is given to you, all that is required is that you receive it.

Today’s Bible verse shows that the wages of sin is death. The payment for living a sinful life is death. Unfortunately, every human being born into this world was sentenced to living a sinful life. But praise God! He has given us the gift of eternal life so that we might inherit life instead of death. All we have to do to receive this gift is to believe in Christ Jesus the Son of God. God has indeed given us eternal life, and this life is in His son (see 1 John 5:11).

A wage is different from a gift. Death is different from life. The wage is death, but God’s gift is eternal life. Isn’t it great to find out that God has given us the gift called eternal life instead of the wage called death that we all worked for while we lived in sin?

Go into today thanking God for His gift of eternal life. This gift contains all things pertaining to life and Godliness: it contains all the things you need to live a Godly and fulfilled life (see 2 Peter 1:3).

Prayer confession: I receive eternal life. I receive all things I need to live a blessed, fulfilled, Godly life in Jesus name. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Chief Mmehie was a very powerful and wicked slave master. It so happened that everyone born into the Uwa village was now born into his compound, and this meant slavery. He was so wicked that by the time a person served him for a lifetime, he would reward that person with a delicious meal that has been poisoned. He paid his slaves with death.

King Idịmma was infinitely more powerful than Chief Mmehie. He sent his son to go and save all the villagers of Uwa village from Chief Mmehie’s slavery. King Idịmma’s son first infiltrated the slave compound like a slave, but later revealed his true nature when he permanently destroyed the great gate of Chief Mmehie’s compound. He announced to all the slaves that they were now free to go; that his father had built houses and Vineyards for all of them and they were now going to live in freedom as princes. Some of the slaves believed and followed him but many of them did not believe. They were deceived by Chief Mmehie’s lies and remained in his compound as slaves.

This story illustrates the reality of the human condition. God has given us the gift of eternal life, but many are still under the deception of the devil. They are still slaves of sin working for death. The only way out of this slavery is to believe in Jesus and follow Him.

As we go into today, let us determine to follow Jesus all the way. Let us also pray for all those we know who are still under the slavery of Satan through sin.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for your grace. I ask that you send saving grace to my loved ones who have not yet accepted your salvation, in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Romans 6:16 (KJV) Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Dare got to a point where he started to wonder whether he was still born again. He had literally been enslaved to certain sins, and it looked impossible for him to come out of them.

Dare had been enslaved by these sins because he yielded himself to them from time to time. The unclean spirits responsible for those sins had enslaved him and he was now demonized even though he was a Christian.

He received deliverance when he opened up to his pastor. His pastor prayed for him and delivered him in the name of Jesus. He maintained his deliverance by living a disciplined life and avoiding appearances of His past sins.

As we can see in today’s Bible text, spiritual slavery to sin is real, and when a person is delivered from such, he must yield himself to righteousness and become a slave of righteousness, or else, he will end up being a slave of sin all over again.

When with the help of the Holy Ghost you chose to walk righteously in all you do, you are yielding yourself to righteousness.

As you go into today, remember that it is those who please God that see His face. Righteousness pleases God and sin displeases Him.

Prayer: ask the Lord to make you a slave of righteousness and deliver you from every bondage of sin. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

1 Corinthians 1:30 (KJV) But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.

A young ruler asked Jesus what he’ll do to have eternal life; Jesus told him “Keep the commandments”. Very excited he said “I’ve kept all the commandments right from my childhood days.” Jesus then said, “Sell all that you have, give it to the poor, then come and follow me.” The ruler walked away sad. He still loved his riches a little more than he wanted to follow Christ.

Some Christians are comfortable when they’re told to observe certain rules and commandments, but like the young ruler, they walk away whenever the truth is told; they are not really ready to follow Christ.

Living a righteous life is not by keeping of rules, regulations, and commandments. Even though a righteous person is a moral person, righteousness is not morality; it is more than what the mind can produce. Righteousness is God’s gift and only He can make a person righteous.

1 Corinthians 1:30 shows us that Christ is the one who make us righteous before God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin by dying on the cross for us”. But you have to believe in Him and follow Him in order to activate this in your life.

Go into today remembering that God is the one who makes you righteous because you now follow Christ. Put on your new righteous nature by loving God above everything else

Prayer: Thank you Jesus for making me righteous. Amen.—James Emmanuel & SD Abraham.

Galatians 2:21(KJV) I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Sharon: Now that I’m a Christian, How can I be truly righteous and free?

Evelyn: that is a very good question. You see, holiness is something that without it you cannot see the Lord. If you want to be righteous, keep the Ten Commandments, read and understand the laws of God, and follow the laws of our church. When you do these things, you will be righteous before God.

Even though Evelyn had good intentions, she couldn’t be more wrong. She was not showing Sharon the way of righteousness, she was showing her the way of legalism and bondage to laws.

Evelyn should have said something like this: ‘Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and be baptized in the Holy Spirit. Walk and live in the Spirit; study God’s word and pray regularly to enhance fellowship with God who is your father. Come to church and hear God’s word- it is able to renew your mind and make you become like Christ because hearing the word transmits grace’.

Our Bible text today shows that it is possible to frustrate the grace of God in your life by trusting in rules and regulations as a means to accomplish righteousness. The grace of God transforms us from within and empowers us to be righteous naturally.

Go into today renouncing every form of legalism that seeks to frustrate the grace of God in your life.

Prayer: Ask the Lord to cleanse you from every mindset that hinders grace. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Ephesians 4:24 (NLT) Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.

Growing up for Jerry was very rough, he’d lost both parents at age two and grew up as a teenager wearing torn clothes, sleeping on the street, and sometimes eating from the waste bin. An elderly rich woman had pity on him and took him in. She gave him a room; a wardrobe filled with new clothes and a big bed. This was the first time in years he saw a bed.

Jerry wasn’t used to this new life and would still sleep on the bare floor; he wore the same old torn clothes. This became an embarrassment to the wealthy old woman who adopted him.

Just like Jerry, many Christians today still live in their old life even when Christ has given them new life. Today’s Bible text reads “Put on your new life”. This life is yours once you’ve accepted Jesus as your Lord. You simply need to make the resolute decision to put on your new nature; trusting in the Holy Spirit to help you- He always does.

Go into today knowing that the new nature (life) is already yours but you have to put it on and this is only with the help of the Holy Spirit. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you put on your new nature.

Pray this Prayer: I shake off all the remnants of the old nature in my life in Jesus’ name. I put on the nature of Christ in its fullness in Jesus’ name. Amen.—Dr. James Emmanuel.

Rom 6:10-11(NLT) When he (Christ) died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. 11 So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.

Pastor John explained to Omeiza that everything Jesus did, He did for us. Jesus lived for us, died for us, and resurrected for us. His glory is also for us (the Church).

Think about it, what glory do you think Jesus was exalted into after his death that He did not have from the beginning of creation? He stripped himself of His glory and became flesh so that we too might have life and glory through His resurrection.

It is interesting how many Christians believe that Christ died for them, but they stop there; they fail to believe that He also resurrected them and is glorified for them. Christ died for us to deliver us from our sins; His death put to death our sinful nature; His resurrection brought to life His godly nature within us, and His glorification guarantees our glorification.

Somebody reading this is receiving a healing today because Jesus has already paid for it. There is another person reading this devotional that is receiving a miracle of provision and abundance today.

Go into this day with renewed assurance that God’s grace is available for you. He has made all things you need available for you through Christ Jesus (see 2 Pet 1:3).

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I thank you for your grace. I pray you help me walk more in the reality of it. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Romans 6:8-11(TMB) If we get included in Christ’s sin-conquering death, we also get included in his life-saving resurrection.

Omeiza: Pastor, I have been struggling to live a Holy life. After I try so hard, I will later stumble and fall all over again.

Pastor John: Jesus did not call you to struggle; He called you to rest (see Mat 11:28). I need to explain something to you:

Do you remember that no one needed to teach you how to be a sinner?

OM: Yes, it was in my nature since I was a child.

PJ: True, we were all born with a sinful nature. The only way to be free from this nature is by dying (see Rom 6:7). Jesus has died this death for you. You were included in Him when He died for you, and you were in Him when He resurrected (see Rom 6:3-6). You now live a new life and this life is the life of Christ. Understanding this and living the life of Christ is the secret to living above sin.

OM: I don’t understand. But I was not yet born when Christ died.

PJ: Yes, but God knew everything about you before Christ died. Remember that God is the eternal ‘I am’; He exists in the past, present, and future all at the same time. To be continued…

Go into today knowing that God does not expect you to live by your own strength, He wants you to live by faith in Christ Jesus through His Spirit (see Zac 4:6).

Prayer confession: I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20 (NKJV).

Proverbs 10:24 (NET) What the wicked fears will come on him; what the righteous desire will be granted.

Terna was afraid he might lose his job. He was a marketer and was consistently failing to meet his targets. A routine appraisal had just been concluded and he had performed very poorly. “If I lose this job now, I don’t know what I’m going to do,” he thought. He sought the Lord in prayer and fasting concerning this fear and other fears that were lurking in his heart. The Holy Spirit comforted him and his fears started to fade away.

A month later, Terna was transferred to another department. His work there was said to be outstanding; he was so good that the managing director got to know him personally. He later got a big promotion.

Terna’s desires came to pass instead of his fears because he sought the Lord concerning them.

In life, there are fears and cares that we face. The Lord wants us to cast all of them upon Him because He cares for us (see 1 Pet 5:7). One way you will know that you have successfully transferred your cares and fears to the Lord is that those fears and anxiety in your heart will begin to fade away.

God’s word for you today is that your desires will be granted, not your fears.

Go into today knowing that your desires will be granted because Christ Jesus has made you righteous by His blood, and His grace empowers you to walk righteously.

Prayer: Thank the Lord for the opportunity to seek Him.

Ask the Lord to wash away every fear from your heart and increase your faith.—Abraham Damilola Arigi
