A GOOD REPORT FROM GOD: Daily Devotional

A GOOD REPORT FROM GOD: Daily Devotional

 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report (Hebrews 11:1-2).

How would you like to have a good record from God? Our opening verse says that by faith the elders of our spiritual family received a good record from God. If you want God to be celebrated, if you want to praise Him, it must be through your acts of faith. No wonder he says, "But without faith it is impossible to please him..."
(Hebrews 11:6).


The Bible says, "By faith Abraham, as he was called to go to a place that would later be inherited in, obeyed; and left without knowing where he was going.

By faith he dwelt as a pilgrim in the promised land, as in a strange land, and dwelt in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise; for he was looking for a city having foundations, of which God is the builder and builder” (Hebrews 11:8-10). As a result, James 2:23 says, "...Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, and he was called the friend of God."

What about Enoch? Genesis 5: 24 says: “And Enoch walked with God and disappeared; because God took him away.” Hebrews 11:5 tells us more; it says: “By faith Enoch was caught up that he should not see death; and it was not found because God translated it; for before his transfer he had this testimony which pleased God. “ Hallelujah!


Read about all the other heroes of the faith in Hebrews 11; those of the greatness of Abel, Noah, Samuel, Isaac, Sarah, Joseph, Moses, Barac, Samson, etc. The Bible says they gained reputation by faith. However, we notice something striking that the Bible tells us: They did not receive the promise because God had something better in store for us: "These were true heroes, praised by their faith, but they lived in hope without them to receive the fullness of what he had promised them.

But now God has invited us to live in something better than they had: the fullness of faith...” (Hebrews 11:39- 40 TPT).


So we have no excuses; Express your faith every day. Live the life of faith. Practice the Word of God, because faith acts according to the Word! This is the way to get a good record from God and to walk in the glory and blessings of Christ.

The Goodness of God - Daily Devotional

  Verse: Psalm 100:5 (NIV) - "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Devotional: Today, let us reflect on the profound truth that God is good. His goodness is not contingent on our circumstances, but it remains constant, unwavering, and eternal. In Psalm 100:5, we are reminded that the Lord's goodness is inseparable from His enduring love, and His faithfulness transcends generations. As you begin your day, consider the goodness of God in the light of your own life. Think about the moments when His goodness has been evident, whether through answered prayers, unexpected blessings, or moments of divine guidance. God's goodness surrounds us, and even in challenges, there is a purpose that unfolds through His love. In times of joy, acknowledge the goodness of God with gratitude. In times of trial, trust in His goodness, knowing that He works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Take a ...

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 triu...
