READ: Jeremiah 31:3-6 (KJV)
3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
4 Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
5 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.
6 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God.

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
The love of Christ avails us of so many benefits. For example, Romans 8:37 says:
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
‘More than conquerors’ simply means winning without fighting. God loves you, and He will fight for you. Romans 8:31 says that if God be for us, who can be against us? This means that no one can overcome you.
One of the many things that God’s love does for you is that it gives you victories for battles you are not even aware of. Many years ago, when I was a lecturer at the University of Ilorin, I was resting on the couch in the living room of my apartment while waiting to leave for the lecture hall. I closed my eyes because I didn’t want to be disturbed, and all of a sudden, I felt hands holding my legs and hands. At first, I thought it was my wife because it felt like the fellow holding me was reaching forward as if to kiss me. However, I realised that whoever could hold my legs with one hand and my hands with the other must be really tall and strong. I opened my eyes to see a tall demon just before it disappeared. I felt a cold sensation throughout my body, but I shrugged it off because it was time to leave for my lecture. Immediately after the lecture, I started vomiting and stooling such that when I managed to drive back home, I had to practically crawl from my car into the apartment. I was in the toilet when I cried, “Daddy, what is this? How can this be happening to your son?” He then replied, “Son, I just wanted you to have a glimpse of the battles I fight for you that you are not aware of.” Afterwards, the stooling stopped.
Beloved, you are alive today because God loves you. Isaiah 54:15 says that those who gather against you shall fall for your sake. It will be childish for someone to think that everybody loves him or her. Sometimes, even the members of a fellow’s household will hate him or her (Matthew 10:36). As a child of God, however, your confidence should be in knowing that God loves you and that when evil forces gather against you, He will always scatter them.
Beloved, never be afraid of anything; you are more than a conqueror because of the love of Christ.
PRAYER POINT:
Thank You Jesus for loving me.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

heaven’s gate to open wide.
He will wash away my sin,

3 Jesus loves me, this I know,
as he loved so long ago,
taking children on his knee,
saying, “Let them come to me.” [Refrain]
