Memorise: Genesis 1:28 (KJV)

TREM DEVOTIONAL FOR 22ND AUGUST 2024
Man was able to rule and control his world when Adam was made. Whatever he spoke, that was what it was, and God never said it was wrong. But when he fell, he lost that dominion mandate. Thank God that in Christ Jesus, our dominion mandate has been restored. The challenge we have is accepting our dominion mandate has been restored.
Due to the fall and because of the curse on a man when he fell, it appears that we have been used to sweating. We find it challenging to receive Christ’s provision on the cross. You are not meant to labour or toil! What did Adam do in the first place to have all he had? He did nothing! All that happened was that he received. God put everything in place before creating him. And after He had made him, He gave all to him. If Adam did nothing but only received, why then do you want to struggle for what Christ has paid for?
In Isaiah 54:17, the scripture concluded by saying, ‘’This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their righteousness is of me saith the Lord’’. Your righteousness is of God. It is not of you. It is not based on how much you have performed. It is not your effort! And if this is the heritage of servants, how much more of sons?
You are a son. And as a son, you are loaded! “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.”(1 Peter 2:9-10 KJV)
