Devotional May 26, 2018

God has a purpose for different nations. He desires for Nations to be an appropriate place for Men to be able to seek after him Acts 17.26-27. So our prayers are necessary to see God’s will done in the NATION’S. Neutralize the plane of darkness and release the Will of God. We must pray for the nation’s, we are Commissioned to go to all the world and make disciples of all nations Matt 28.19

Time is Short


How many will depart this life to a Christless eternity before you finish reading this article?

55.3 million people die each year.
151,600 people die each day.
6,316 people die each hour.
105 people die each minute.
Ultimately, the death rate is 1:1.

But those raw numbers don’t tell the whole story. Those aggregate numbers hide an alarming spiritual disproportion. More than 2.9 billion people live in “unreached” people groups in some of the hardest-to-reach areas of the world. This means each minute, each hour, each day tens of thousands die without any real access to the message that would save them from hell and save them for God’s love.

As you’ve pondered those numbers, another 105 persons have left time and entered eternity. How many do you suppose went to be with the Lord, and how many were consigned to the pit?

Friends, time is short.

Jesus Says ‘Go’

If you’re reading this article, chances are the gospel has already reached you. You are, after all, reading this on a Christian website.

But the gospel was never intended to stop with you and me. The gospel reached us on the way to others. We’re part of a relay team, made up of Christians spanning time and space all the way back to those 12 who first followed the Lord. We have a part in God’s missionary purpose to make for himself a people out of all the peoples of the earth.(TGC)

The New Birth

 I. Being Born Again

A. John 3:1–8—Jesus here speaks of a specific personal experience—being born again—born anew, born from above, born of the Spirit. How can a person receive this experience?

B. John 1:11–13—Each person must receive Christ by faith as Savior and Lord. In this way a person is “born of God” and becomes “a child of God.”

C. 1 John 5:10–13—Every believer who has thus received Christ has the inner witness of God that he has eternal life. He no longer merely believes, he also knows.

D. Rom. 8:16—After this, the Holy Spirit continually bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.

E. Rev. 3:20—Jesus stands at the door of your heart seeking entrance. If you receive him, he will come in. You share with him what you have, and he in turn shares with you.

F. Rom. 6:23—Eternal life is offered only in Christ, and is received only by faith, as a free gift.

G. Eph. 3:17—By faith we receive Christ, and by faith we believe that he continues to dwell within us.

II. What Happens

A. Gal. 2:20—By the death of Christ on the cross our old life was put to death. Our new life now comes through Christ dwelling within us.

B. Phil. 4:13—Through Christ indwelling me, I am empowered to do all that God requires of me.

C. 1 Cor. 1:30—In Christ, received by faith, all our needs are fully supplied: He becomes our wisdom, our righteousness, our holiness, our complete redemption.

D. Rom. 8:10—When we receive Christ by faith as our new life, “the body” (i.e., the old rebellious nature inherited from Adam) dies—loses its power to control us.

E. John 10:10—The thief (devil) comes to steal all the good that God has provided for us; Christ comes to give life in all its fullness.

F. 2 Cor. 5:14–17—Christ died for us all, that he might redeem us from our old nature and make us a new creation.
