RECEIVE HIM

June 19
RECEIVE HIM
But as many as received him [Jesus Christ], to them gave he
power [the right] to become the sons of God, even to them that
believe on his name. — JOHN 1:12
Receiving Jesus Christ is an act of the will. So man acts on the
Word of God by an act of his will. Man knows he is without a
Savior, without an approach to God, without eternal life, so he
can look up to God and pray, in essence:
Father, I come to You in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I
know You will not turn me away, or cast me out, because You
said in Your Word, “. . . him that cometh to me I will in no wise
cast out.” I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of
God. I believe that He died for my sins, according to the
Scriptures. I believe that He was raised from the dead for my
justification, according to the Scriptures. “Justification” means
that I might be set right with God. I believe that because of His
death, burial, and resurrection, I am set right with God. So I
receive Jesus as my Savior, and I confess Him as my Lord. Your
Word says, “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved.” I am calling on You now, so I know I am saved.
And You said, “If thou shalt believe in thine heart that God hath
raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” I’m confessing
that with my mouth. I believe it in my heart. So I am saved. You
said, “. . . with the heart man believeth unto righteousness.”
And with my heart I believe that I am made right with God. And
You said, “. . . with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.” So with my mouth I confess, I am saved! Thank You,
Lord!

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved ...

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. — HEBREWS 2:14 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “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” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
