    [Devotional] IN HIS PRESENCE: Your rights and privileges as a son [2]

    By Oke Chinye

    Read: Ephesians 1:3-22 

    Meditation verse: 

    “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your  salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of  promise” (Ephesians 1:13).

    Other privileges you enjoy as an adopted son, are: 

    The presence of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is the guarantor and seal upon  your life that proves that you are a child of God. He is in you to teach, comfort,  intercede and help you in your walk with God. John 14:26 says “But the Helper,  the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all  things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you”. I have  received help from the Holy Spirit on several occasions in different areas of my  life. From showing me the specific area to focus on and study, when I had to  write an exam shortly after recuperating from a failed surgery, exposing attacks  of the enemy over my marriage before it was too late and teaching me several  life skills. The messages I write in this daily devotional are downloaded into my  spirit by the Holy Spirit. The greatest resource we have as Christians is the  presence of God’s Spirit in us, but you must be sensitive to His prompting if you  are to benefit from His leading.  

    An everlasting hope: Christ in you is the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27) and it is  an unending one. When all is said and done here on earth, you will reign with  Christ in eternity. John 14:2-3 says “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if  it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go  and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that  where I am, there you may be also”. 

    If you have not yet asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart, you are not yet a  son. Why not do so right away so that you can be adopted into the family of God  and begin to enjoy these privileges. Here’s a prayer you can say right away: “Dear Jesus, I believe that You died to save me from all my sins. Today, I confess  that I am a sinner and ask for forgiveness. I invite you into my heart and accept  you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive all my sins, fill me with Your Spirit and help me to live my life for You”. Congratulations!

    [Devotional] IN HIS PRESENCE: Your rights and privileges as a son [1]

    By Oke Chinye

    Read: Ephesians 1:3-22 

    Meditation verse: 

    “Having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according  to the good pleasure of His will” (Ephesians 1:5). 

    At salvation, you were adopted as a son into the family of God, through Jesus  Christ and this entitles you to certain privileges. Ephesians 1:18-19 says that “the  eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what the  hope of His calling is, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the  saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe,  according to the working of His mighty power”. As a son you have access to: 

    The name of Jesus Christ: Philippians 2:9-11 states: “Therefore God also has  highly exalted Him and given Him the name, which is above every name, that at  the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on  earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that  Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. The name of Jesus is a refuge  and strong tower in times of trouble. I had a scary experience one night. Whilst  asleep, I suddenly became aware of a dark presence in the room. I tried to move  and open my eyes, but couldn’t, it was like an invincible force was holding me  down. I was very conscious of what was going on but could neither move nor  open my eyes. Then I realised my spirit was calling the name “Jesus”, so I tried  to open my mouth to call out the name, but my lips were sealed. I kept struggling  to open my mouth and eventually succeeded in screaming “Jesus”. As soon as I  called out that name, the invincible presence disappeared, and I was able to  open my eyes and turn around.  

    The blood of Jesus: Revelations 12:11 states “And they overcame him (the  accuser) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony…”  Hebrews 10:19 says “Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest  by the blood of Jesus”. You have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus. In your  redemption package, you can boldly access forgiveness for your sins, healing of  all diseases, wholeness, sanctification, restoration, deliverance, and victory  through the blood of Jesus. What an awesome privilege to be a son of The Most  High God.
