HE IS OUR LORD MIGHTY TO SAVE.
(THE BOOK OF ZEPHANIAH)

Scripture Reading: Zephaniah 3:14-17
Additional Bible Reading: Psalm 89:6-13, Psalms 145:3-4, Proverbs 31.

JESUS CHRIST IS OUR LORD MIGHTY TO SAVE.

The LORD, the mighty One is in your midst and He will save. These are some of the comforting words not only in the Book of Zephaniah but in the whole Bible. Jesus our Savior is revealed in the book of Zephaniah as the One mighty to save. Sometimes, the salvation we need is a mighty salvation. Sometimes, we are in places and positions when no man can help us. At the peak of a terrible famine in Israel, people were beginning to eat their children and eat donkey dung, a man approached the King of Israel for help. The King answered that if God could not help him, nobody could. The king needed help himself. Our God is mighty to save in every situation, in all circumstances and at all times. Always remember that man's extremity is always God's opportunity. How extreme is your situation? How bad is the case? It is God's opportunity to show that He is mighty to save. Friends, do not always make God your last resort. This breaks the heart of our God. It is like our children going to everybody else before coming to us in times of trouble. The Apostle Paul challenges in Hebrews to come boldly into the throne of grace of the zone that is mighty to save. As the month of January ends today, walk with the consciousness that the God that is in your midst today is mighty to save. The Bible says that the name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run to it and they are safe. Beloved, you have thirty one names to run to at any time. Like it says in Zephaniah, Jesus is in your midst all the time. God bless you!

Today's Prayer: Lord Jesus, in this season I will walk not only in the consciousness of your abiding presence but also in the knowledge that you are mighty to save and deliver me. I declare that my extremity is your opportunity. Thank you for the great month of January.

I have learnt both by revelation and experience that every action produces a reaction. If you are doing nothing then expect nothing back in return. Every work will produce a result and a reward!

Daily Devotionals- February Edition by Pastor Ike J. Monye February 4, 2018. HE IS THE MESSIAH (THE BOOK OF MATTHEW) Scripture Reading: Matthew 1:18-23 Additional Bible Reading: Matthew 17:12, 22. Matthew 16:13-20, Proverbs 4. JESUS IS THE MESSIAH. Welcome to the New Testament! The One that was promised thousands of years ago in Genesis 3, the One that was called the Great Promise of the Old Testament is finally here and He is first introduced to us in the gospel of Matthew. The gospel of Matthew presents Jesus as the fulfillment of messianic hopes and expectations. Matthew carefully structures his narratives to reveal Jesus as fulfilling specific prophecies. Matthew's use of the title "Son of God" clearly underscores Jesus deity. The word 'Messiah' means 'the anointed One". It also means "expected deliverer". This is really a derivation from the Hebrew. The Greek rendering is 'Christos" which means the anointed One. The "Chr
