DEVOTION ~ PREFERRED

-
Theme: Preferred 
Text: John 1:15

15 John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’ ”


John the Baptist knows the limit of his ministry and that is what made him down to earth. He has never tried to usurp the Saviour's glory or fame. He was a true witness and so his testimony about Christ is unquestionable. He witnessed Christ is preferred before him and He was before him. Oh, mine! The catch from this witness is that Christ the firstborn cannot be denied the right to be ranked higher than any man or angel in the Kingdom of God irrespective of His age at the time of this witness because Christ has been in the beginning. If we believe in Him then we share in the right to be preferred above those in the world because we have the mark of exceptional grace speaking over our lives. 


PRAYER: My Saviour and Messiah who is preferred above all, I pray the manifest grace of Your preference in every area of my life. I declare in the Name of Jesus Christ and by His Blood, my ideas and actions, are preferred above those in the world. AMEN!

Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!
