Word of Hope For
Today by Bro. Rolly Custodio
Stop Blaming Yourself
‘Who is he who
condemns?…’ Romans 8:34 NKJV
Today’s Devotion
Stop
being mad at yourself because you’re still struggling in certain areas. When it
comes to an area of your life that needs improvement, be concerned about it,
but not consumed with it. You are always going to be working on something, so
learn to separate your ‘who’ from your ‘do’. Who you are in Christ is a settled
issue. ‘There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ
Jesus…’ (Romans 8:1 NKJV).
Because God has chosen to see you ‘in Christ’, you are always acceptable to Him
and you always have access to Him.
Your
‘who’ is not based on your ‘do’. Your ‘who’ determines your salvation, your
‘do’ determines your future rewards in Heaven. God is not condemning you, you
are condemning yourself! God will convict you, and when you repent of sin He
will cleanse you, but He will never condemn you.
Satan
does that. You do that to yourself. But God never will. ‘Who is he who
condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at
the right hand of God, who makes intercession for us’ (Romans 8:34 NKJV).
Every time you fail, Christ your advocate offers His atoning blood to cover
your sin. As a result, God sees you as ‘accepted’.
Life
Application:
Stop
comparing yourself with somebody else. You are you, and you will never be them.
We are all equal in Christ! So when somebody condemns you, stand on this
Scripture: ‘Surely the Lord God will help me; who is he who will condemn me?
Indeed they will all grow old like a garment; the moth will eat them up’ (Isaiah 50:9 NKJV).
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly
Father thank you for your powerful Word today. Lord thank you for not blaming
and condemning ourselves because of wrong decision and bad result of our
action. Lord thank your for your righteousness and goodness into my life. I admit
that I commit mistakes because of my wrong choices but you oh Lord is merciful
and forgiving God and you forgive of those who come to you in repentance. Lord
thank you for your righteousness we become righteous because you are righteous
you covered us by your righteousness that’s why we become right in the eyes of
the Father. Lord empowers to practice prayer in my daily walk for your glory,
In Jesus Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of
all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior
Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the bottom of your heart you are now
saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16 that if you trust His Son Jesus
you will not die but you will have Eternal Life. Welcome to the family of God.
