Memorise
If we suffer, we shall also reign with
him: if we deny him, he also will deny
Us. 2nd Timothy 2:12
Read
Matthew 15:22-28,
22 And,
behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him,
saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously
vexed with a devil.
23 But
he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying,
Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But
he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of
Israel.
25 Then
came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But
he answered and said, it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast
it to dogs.
27 And
she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their
masters' table.
28 Then
Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee
even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
KJV
MESSAGE
Have you compared yourself with
many other believers around you and it seems that what you are going through is
very different from their own experiences, and you are beginning to ask God why
me? I congratulate you, because you are in for a special testimony. What you
are going through is evidence that you are a child of destiny and the devil is
all out to truncate it knowing what you are to become. How do you think Joseph
felt when he was thrown into the pit by his own brother? He was sold to the Egyptians
before finally landing in the house of Potiphar, where everything was committed
into his hand. I am sure he would have been consoled by this and would have
thanked God that he was finally in a safe place. Little did he know that there
was a new devil in that house in the person of Mrs Potiphar. For every new
level in the life of a child of God, there is always a new devil, this is why I
always remind my children not to rest on their success, and because that is the
time the devil will come and knock you out. He watches for your unguarded hour.
When you see the devil fighting you at all corners, you should know you are
special of God. My prayer is that Satan will never win the battle over you in
Jesus’ name.
“When thou passeth through the waters, I will be with thee; and through
the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire,
thou shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” Isaiah
43:2
In this assurance you should
rejoice that despite the numerous tests and trials you are going through and
the ones you will still go through, God is with you. The level of suffering you
go through will also determine the level of glory you will attain in God if you
don’t give in. The extent you are prepared to go through for Christ is also the
extent to which you will reign with Him.
“But he knoweth the way that I take; when he hath tried me, I shall come
forth as gold”
Job 23:10
To a user of
this devotional, I decree in the Name that is above all names; there will be a
glorious testimony from your present trials in Jesus’ name. Continue to look
unto Jesus, the Alpha and the Omega and do not allow the devil knock you down.
Believe that your tomorrow will be alright and don’t let the present situation
nullify the permanent promises of God for your life.
Key Point
You are not a victim but a victor in Christ Jesus.

Joshua 7:1-8:29, Job
34:31-35
