WALKING IN VICTORY​!

Matthew 28:17-20 – Devotional

Matthew 28:17-20

“When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

In high school I played on the football team, and in my senior year we were very successful—UNDEFEATED, IN FACT. I recall coming home after practice so tired and sore that I could hardly move. All of the hours of exercise and practice, however, resulted in each victory we achieved.

It was rather humorous to hear the shouts of victory from the sidelines, “WE WON! WE WON!” our supporters had not experienced the pain we endured, but they shared the victory. We gladly welcomed their joyful shouts of victory.

On the cross Jesus won the victory over the hold that Satan had over fallen man. The moment His life’s blood flowed from His precious innocent body the price was paid for our redemption! It is nothing that we have done or ever could do that won the victory over the enemy . . . but Jesus gained the victory.

Following His crucifixion, Jesus rose from the tomb and appeared to hundreds of people. Some of His followers identified with His victory, but there were some who doubted. Amazing! He had foretold what He was going to do and He did it!

They still question the reality of His resurrection. I don’t want to be a part of that doubting crowd. I WANT TO BE ONE OF THOSE WHO CHOOSE VICTORY IN JESUS!

It’s interesting to note that many who enter into serious research to disprove Jesus’ resurrection end up becoming believers.

Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing!

GOD’S CONDITIONAL CLAUSE! – 2 Chronicles 7:14 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GOD’S CONDITIONAL CLAUSE​!

2 Chronicles 7:14 – Devotional

2 Chronicles 7:14

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

Over the years I have stood before interview boards that were in the process of interviewing me for a particular position or promotion. They were the ones who were placing before me the conditions that were to be expected. I was the one who would be expected to comply.

Many times we read about those individuals who have a “foxhole commitment.” They try to place conditions on the Lord, promising to follow Him IF He will get them out of their current predicament. (That “commitment” is not always restricted to wartime battle conditions. We are prone to pray that type of prayer in all sorts of situations.)

We see that today’s Scripture is addressed to believers. Oh, and might I add there is a conditional clause attached to it. We are God’s people and we are the ones who must humble ourselves, pray, seek God’s face and turn from our wicked ways. I pray we will respond in a positive way to God’s CONDITIONAL CLAUSE!

Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing!

THE DAFFODIL PRINCIPLE! – Psalm 126:5-6 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

THE DAFFODIL PRINCIPLE​!

Psalm 126:5-6 – Devotional

Psalm 126:5-6​

“Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.”

Many years ago I sent out a Daily-E-Votional highlighting the Daffodil Principle. Since then there have been requests to repeat it, which I will do today, but leaving out a great deal of the back story that led up to it.

One day a woman came upon a magnificent field of daffodils of every shape, size, and color. The beauty of it was breathtaking and almost too hard for her to take in. There was a small house nearby and next to the house was a poster that read:

Answers to the Questions I Know you are asking.
50,000 bulbs, one at a time, by one woman.
Two hands, two feet, and very little brain.
Began in 1958.

After the experience of witnessing such a sight, the woman wrote the following article:

There it was, The Daffodil Principle. For me, that moment was a life-changing experience. I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than forty years before, had begun ‒ one bulb at a time ‒ to bring her vision of beauty and joy to an obscure mountain top.

Still, just planting one bulb at a time, year after year, had changed the world. This unknown woman had forever changed the world in which she lived. She had created something of ineffable (indescribable) magnificence, beauty, and inspiration.

The principle her daffodil garden taught is one of the greatest principles of celebration. That is, learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time ‒ often just one baby-step at a time ‒ and learning to love the doing, learning to use the accumulation of time.

When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change the world.

It really does not take great intellect or strength ‒ it is just planting the bulbs that God gives us, and keep on planting them.

I just need to focus on what the Lord leads me to share and then to plant it!
