RCCG Open Heavens Daily Devotional, Sunday, 19th January, 2014
TOPIC:
HOLINESS &
VICTORIOUS LIVING
Memorize:
“The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a
lion. “ Proverbs 28:1
Read:
Daniel 6:19-22
Bible in one year:
Colossians 1-4, Psalm
19:1-6
MESSAGE:
Once you are living a holy life, it's going to be well with
you. You will be able to hide under the shadow of the Almighty God. No harm
will come near you because the Almighty God will cover you with His wings
according to Psalm 91 :4-11. However, when you go into sin, you will be running
when nobody' is chasing you. Brethren, you have nothing to fear except sin. If
you do not live in sin, I can assure you that God will treat you as a loving
father will treat his child. Isaiah 3:10 says:
"Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they
shall eat the fruit of their doings.”
However verse 11 of the same chapter says:
"Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of
his hands shall be given him.”
When you are living a life of
holiness, you have angels as your bodyguard. They will go with you anywhere you
go. They will see danger miles ahead and ward it off on your behalf. Your
security is in the Name of the Lord (Proverbs 18:10).
If you are living a life of trust
in God and holiness, you will stand and will not be afraid (Psalm 125:1-3).
Nothing can move you. Nothing happens in life without God's permission. You
cannot even eat an orange without God's enablement. The devil cannot do
anything unless God allows it. Only when He abandons you as a result of you refusing
to repent of our sins can demons come near you. You can be assured, therefore
that your victory is sure because God is not going to allow the wicked to come near
you, so that you will not be discouraged. In the story of Daniel, when he was
thrown into the lion's den, he made a statement worthy of note. He said:
"My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that
they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and
also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.” Daniel 6:22
Those who are living holy do not need to be afraid of anything
or anybody that represents the devouring lion of this word. My prayer for you
is that God will give you the ability to live in holiness and that your life
will be full of testimonies of victory over all principalities, powers and rulers
of the darkness of this world in Jesus' Name.
Action point:
Check your life and
find out whether there are things you are doing which are fostering demonic oppression,
and stop doing them as from today.
