EASTER DECLARATION ~ SALVATION

-




Theme: Salvation

Text: Luke 23:43

43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”


In yesterday's devotion, we started learning about the seven sayings of Jesus Christ on the cross. The first we learned is about forgiveness. Today's focus is on the assurance of salvation to one of the criminals nailed to the cross with Jesus. Where sin is pardoned, the door of salvation is opened. Jesus an innocent Man was hung on the cross with two other criminals, one to the right and the other to the left. One of the criminals blasphemed Him to save them if really He has the power to save. Most of us dare God daily like this criminal. However, the other criminal recognized they were paying the penalty for their sins but not so with Jesus. He sought mercy and he obtained the salvation of his soul that very day. Acknowledging our sins before God brings His pardon and opens the door of salvation to us. The perfect resting place for our souls is in Paradise not this earth. Therefore, let us surrender our souls to Christ while alive so that we will be with the Lord in Paradise after death.            


Let us Pray: Almighty God, I thank You for the gift of salvation in Christ Jesus. Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom. Redeem my soul from the destruction of the accuser of the brethren and grant me eternal rest in You. This I ask in the Name of Jesus. AMEN!

Apollos means "one who destroys or a destroyer". He was a New Testament figure who steadily grew to become a servant of Jesus through ministry. He was a staunch Jew.  Some Characteristics of Apollos: √ Apollos was endowed with great knowledge and was very outspoken. In his line of ministry, he exhibited understanding of the old canon and delivered its message boldly.  √ Despite Apollos's eloquence and knowledge, he was only vexed in the baptism of John without the knowledge that the prophecy about the Messiah had already been fulfilled. John’s baptism was the baptism unto repentance: An act of confession and turning from sin which anticipated the coming of the Messiah. 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!

What inhibits you determines what comes out of you. The two elements are light and darkness. The light within produces good, whereas darkness is evil. It is recorded in  Ephesians 5:8-9 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good, right, and true.  Declare, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I no longer walk in darkness but rather in light. Therefore, every product of darkness within and around me is extinct. I decree that my family and I live in light, and we enjoy what the light produces in fullness. Our deeds are good, right, and true. AMEN!"
