CONNECT WITH YOUR FAITH: Daily Devotional

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3).

The apostle Paul let us know in our opening verse that we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ. He reinforces the idea at 1 Corinthians 3:21 when he says, "...all things are thine." Similarly, the apostle Peter tells us that "...the divine power hath given us all things of life and godliness..." (2 Peter 1:3 NIV).

It is one thing to know that you have been blessed with and in all things, but it is quite another to actually own the blessings.

The key is to connect with your faith; this is what Abraham did.

In Genesis 17:5 NIV God said to him: “…I have made you the father of many nations.” Abraham associated with his faith; it had to do with his mind's eye.

The Bible says that Abraham believed God and it was credited to him for righteousness. He believed because he visualized the reality of his children while trying to count the stars (Genesis 15:5). By faith he saw and accepted the reality of God's Word in his spirit, spoke it and it happened. Romans 4:20-22 says: “He doubted not the promise of God through unbelief; but he was strengthened in faith, and gave glory to God; And firmly convinced that he could keep what he had promised. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.”

Learn to visualize and record God's provision for you in Christ Jesus. Refuse to waver from unbelief in God's Word; Take control of your blessings in your mind first and speak them forward.

Complete Victory - Daily Devotional

Bible Verse: "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." - 1 Corinthians 15:57 (ESV) As Christians, we often face battles and struggles in our daily lives. We may encounter difficult circumstances or temptations that threaten to overwhelm us.

This promise of complete victory is not just something we can look forward to in the future, but something we can experience in the present. When we face trials and difficulties, we can turn to Jesus and rely on His strength to carry us through. When we ...
