DOMINION OVER DEATH AND HELL: Daily Devotional

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death (Revelation 1:18).

After Adam's disobedience, the Bible came that death came upon all men: “Therefore sin came into the world through man, and death through sin; and so death came to all men, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12). Death was associated with sin, and when Adam committed treason in the Garden of Eden by obeying Satan, death began to affect every human being.

Satan gained freedom from the plague of man with sickness and infirmity. , destruction and eventual death at his will. But when Jesus came in
, things changed. Men and women who had been held captive by the fear of death all their lives were delivered through Jesus Christ's victory over death and grave (Hebrews 2:14-15).

Jesus went straight to Hell, Satan's kingdom, paralyzed Satan and his minions and obtained the keys of death and Hell! He faced the problem of death when he rose triumphantly from the dead and led man to a new life.

Today, anyone who has been born again need not fear death, for death was created by Jesus defeated. No wonder the Bible says at 1 Corinthians 15:54-57: “...Death is swallowed up in victory. Oh death, where is thy sting?

O grave, where is your victory? The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

He gave us victory over death and the grave. Today Satan can no longer take life from anyone because he no longer has the power of death.

Christ gave us life to live it fully. In his presence there is joy in abundance and joy at his right hand forever: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
I have come that they may have life and enjoy it and have it in abundance (too full until it overflows)" (John 10:10 AMPC).

Never Lacking - Daily Devotional

Bible Verse: Philippians 4:19 (NIV) - "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." Devotional: As Christians, we are called to live a life of faith, trusting in God's promises to provide for all our needs. The verse from Philippians 4:19 assures us that our God is faithful and will never let us lack anything we truly need. This promise is not limited to just physical needs, but it encompasses our emotional, spiritual, and relational needs as well. Life can be filled with uncertainties, challenges, and seasons of lack. However, the Bible encourages us to hold fast to God's promise of provision, knowing that He is our ultimate source of abundance and blessings. When we face trials or times of scarcity, we can turn to the truth of Philippians 4:19 as a reminder of God's unwavering love and care for us. As we apply this verse in our daily lives, we are called to cultivate a deeper trust in God. Instead of worrying about...

THE ENEMY IS BENEATH YOUR FEET: Daily Devotional

Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” - Luke 10:17–19 In Luke 10 we see our Lord Jesus sending out the seventy disciples like “the Lambs among wolves” into the kingdom of darkness. In today's Bible, look at the conversation the Seventy had with the Lord Jesus when he returned. Friends, the authority and authority our Lord Jesus gave them is the authority and authority we believers have today! Romans 16:20 declares that the God of peace will crush Satan under our feet! He is a defeated enemy. The Bible is very consistent and always has the devil under his feet (Genesis 3:15; Ephesians 1:22). You are not swayed by enemy attacks. Don't put him on the pedestal as he rules you....

GATHERED UNDER HIS WINGS : Daily Devotional

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate.” - Luke 13:34–35 A beautiful picture is hidden in Psalm 91:4. A photo of a mother hen protecting her chicks. The scriptures quoted above record how the Lord Jesus wept over Jerusalem. Later, while mourning Jerusalem, Jesus said: They will not leave a stone in you, because you do not know when you will visit” (Luke 19:43-44). The Greek word for “weep” in verse 41, klayo, means to move emotionally enough to weep and weep. Do you see the merciful mercy of the Lord toward Israel when many tears are shed for Israel? He wanted him to gather Israel under his feathers as a hen gathers her chicks under his wings, but Jehovah could not protect them because they rejected him. I believe that when our...
