MY REDEEMER LIVES – Thursday February 23rd
2017
Memorise: Yet a little while,
and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live
also. John 14:19
Read: Mark 16:1-6 (King James
Version)
1
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and
Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might
come and anoint him.
2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week,
they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away
the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled
away: for it was very great.
5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man
sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were
affrighted.
6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus
of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place
where they laid him.
Bible in one year: Genesis
12-15, Isaiah 43:16-44:8, Hymn: Sing hymn 4
MESSAGE:
Every
time I ponder on the glory awaiting all those who make it to Heaven, I feel so
excited. It is so magnificent that the ordinary human heart cannot fathom it.
If you will partake of his glory, you must not be discouraged in your walk of
faith with God. You must have the assurance in your heart that the Lord Christ,
who is your Redeemer, is alive, and because He is alive, your faith is not in
vain (1st
Corinthians 15:14 & 20). There are some who are at the point of
giving up their faith. They are no longer excited about their confession of
faith in Jesus Christ. Some are fainting in their spirit, and their level of
commitment has waned. If you are in such situation, the Holy Spirit in Hebrew 10:38-39
says this to you:
“Now the just shall live by
faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we
are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the
saving of the soul.”
The
purpose of discouragement is to make you backslide. It is aimed at stopping the
good things you started. Some of the activities of the Pharisees were aimed at
discouraging the followers of Jesus, but their plots failed. Open Heavens
Devotional 2017 Thursday 23 February 2017:- My Redeemer lives Although they had
Him crucified, some of His followers still followed Him to the very end. How
amazing it was for them when they realised that Jesus had risen from the dead!
The place where they laid His body was empty, and it remains so till today! I
prophecy into your life that the very spot where the enemy hoped you will
remain shall become empty!
Action Point:
Mark this confession of faith: Lord Jesus,
become You live, I shall also live and not die.
