Be Different-5
Jesus Christ never changes! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8
Welcome to today daily devotional. I am sure you learned about the importance of being different from yesterday story when the merchant said that “The two most precious is MY INTEGRITY AND MY SELF-RESPECT.” and another post that we have shared here related to being different.
You are unique, and you should not be afraid to stand out from the crowd. Doing what is right when everyone else is doing it wrong is what we call integrity. I do understand that the pressure from this world can make you lose sight of who you are or follows God’s plan. It is a trap that we all fall into at times, but if you do not let go, it can lead to disappointment. When you are in a situation where everyone does not care about wrongdoing, it is easy to get caught up in the drama.
However, the Bible said that despite the pressure of life around Jesus, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Despite the pressure around Daniel, he refused to give up on his faith. He didn’t give up on himself. Instead, he continued to do what was right. He kept going even though everyone else was against him because they thought that he was crazy. But in the end, everyone who was against him begins to bow down to him. I declare in the Holy Ghost, any suitable place you have been rejected before, they will begin to honor again in Jesus name.
Are you still the same despite the pressures of life? I am sure you have heard about the importance of being different to make your good mark on the world. Most of the time, we do not need all the fasting that we do to become better people or to overcome the devil. We just need to be faithful in our own lives and follow God’s lead.
In Genesis 4:4-8, the Bible recorded it that Abel the faithful servant did what was right and rewarded him by answered his prayer. However, Cain did the opposite thing, and God also rewarded him by ignored his prayer. In verse 7 of Genesis 4, God said to Cain, “If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it.”
When you cloth yourself with integrity, faithfulness, and wisdom, you will lift your face without shame; you will stand firm and unafraid. God will not let you down because he knows your faithfulness and worthiness in the kingdom. Proverbs 10:6-7 says, “Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.” May your head be a blessing in Jesus name.
Prayer:
1. Thank God for all that he has done for you to make you better than what you were before.
2. Declare that anything standing against the benefits of redemption in your life, may the blood of Jesus flush them out. Remember, Mercy is yours, therefore claim it.
3. I pray that God will answer your prayer in Jesus name. Amen.
