WISDOM FOR THE DAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: YOU HAVE SECURITY IN CHRIST
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” 1 John 5:13 KJV
Today’s passage says, these things are written that we may know that we have Eternal life. It didn’t say until we get to heaven, then we will know. It is already documented! We know while we are still here, not when we get to heaven. It is not a matter of probability.
I will not serve a God that cannot give me security. You have security in Christ. That is why you will not see shame, nor will you see disgrace.
It is already done. The Christian journey begins from it is finished. It is not about doing. Your race in Christ begins with your understanding that through His death, burial, and resurrection, He has finished everything that has to do with you. The price has been paid. What Jesus did in your life is completely complete and perfectly perfect.
There is a new sound all over the air, of a new crop of believers who will walk about on this earth as God. My generation will only see glimpses of it, but the next generation will experience it fully. Let no one deceive you by telling you that it will not happen because there is evil and instability everywhere, as if God is in trouble.
The last time I checked, He is sitting on His seat and He is laughing at the devil. The devil cannot unravel what God has completed concerning you. You will get there! Have you not read that where sin abounds, grace abounds much more?
Praying to make heaven is a wrong prayer. If you are still trying to make heaven, then you may probably not make it. Brother Mike, what are you saying? Child of God, you are in Christ. So, Heaven is settled for you! Do not pray to make heaven, you are already there.
