TREM DEVOTIONAL FOR 31ST DECEMBER 2024
Welcome to the last day of 2024. Congratulations, you made it. As we prepare for 2025, I must remind you there is no case against you. Understand what Christ did on the cross and His victory on your behalf. This is vital so you do not miss out on the significance of His death and resurrection. Apostle Paul, writing to the church in Colossae, figuratively describes what Christ’s death accomplished for the believer.
The NIV translation says: “Having cancelled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.” (Colossians 2:14). What does that mean? The word “cancelled”, translated from the original Greek language, also means to wipe out or wash. Metaphorically, this connotes a removal or obliteration of whatever used to be. “Our legal indebtedness” agrees with scripture, as stated in Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God”. Before receiving redemption through Christ, we were all legal slaves and captives of sin. We had the overbearing weight of sin and eternal condemnation hanging over our heads, which empowered the devil to table accusations against us before the Father.
But Christ, through His death, has destroyed everything that gave the enemy a legal hold over your life. Child of God, because of the price that Christ paid on the cross of Calvary, the enemy can no longer bring any accusation against you before God. He has no case against you. And so, you have been discharged, acquitted, the case is closed, and there is no appeal! That tells you that you have total victory! So, you are fighting from the point of complete victory. In other words, it is not that you will be victorious; you are already victorious. Arise with this understanding and enforce your victory in every area of your life as you march victoriously into 2025.
