RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY MONDAY 28TH OCTOBER 2024.
When we preach the Gospel, what exactly are we preaching? The Gospel is good news—the availability of the righteousness of God. Jesus didn’t come to condemn the world. The Bible says, “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:17). So what did Jesus tell us to do? He said, “Preach the Gospel!”
We’re to tell the world how good, gracious and kind God is; He’s not the God of judgement but the God of love. So, preach His love. I remember when I used to go for crusades with the movie titled “Burning Hell.” It scared people to repentance, but only for a while. The fear didn’t last because it was based on emotion, not true repentance. It’s the goodness of God that leads men to repentance, not the judgement of God.
When people hear about the goodness of God, they’re moved to come out of their darkness. Think about Noah; he preached about the coming judgement for years, but how many people repented and entered the Ark with him? It was only his family. The same happened with Lot. But when the Apostles preached the Gospel, the good news, nations were changed. Hallelujah!
The Gospel is the message of hope, love, life and victory in Christ. Of course, there’s a hell and not just hell, there’s also the lake of fire where hell itself will be cast into with Satan and all who reject salvation. But blessed be God; no one who believes in Jesus should be afraid of going to hell because Jesus already went to hell in our behalf. He paid the price and gave us eternal life so we can live eternally in victory and success. He brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the Gospel—the good news of your righteousness, love and grace. I declare that I am a carrier of this message, spreading the light of your goodness wherever I go. Thank you, Lord, for delivering me from the power of darkness and translating me into the Kingdom of your dear Son. I rejoice in the victory and eternal life you have given me in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!
