July 31 Devotion - Your DNA in God - Part 16 - I am established, anointed, sealed by God

Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, ²² who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

ولكن الذي يثبتنا معكم في المسيح وقد مسحنا هو الله

22 الذي ختمنا ايضا واعطى عربون الروح في قلوبنا.

2 Corinthians 1:21-22

The objective of this verse is to trace all to God, and to prevent the appearance of self-confidence, or of boasting. It was customary to anoint kings, prophets, and priests on their entering on their office as a part of the ceremony of inauguration. It is applied often to the Messiah as being set apart, or consecrated to his office as prophet, priest, and King - that is, as appointed by God to the highest office ever held in the world. It is applied also to Christians as being consecrated, or set apart to the service of God by the Holy Spirit - a use of the word which is derived from the sense of consecrating, or setting apart to the service of God. The word sealed is important here, because once we acknowledge Jesus as our Saviour and let Him dominate over our lives, we are saved and our salvation is sealed and cannot be taken away from us.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You Lord that my DNA reveals that I am a child of God and I am established, anointed, and sealed by God. Abba Father thank You that You redeemed me and granted me forgiveness of my sins, according to the riches of Your grace. LORD, thank You that You established me with You in Christ and that You anointed me and also sealed me and given me the Holy Spirit in my heart as a guarantee. I rejoice that as a believer I am being consecrated, or set apart to the service of God by the Holy Spirit. God, I pray that out of Your  glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can continue to declare to the world that I am established, anointed, and sealed by God. In the Holy Name of Jesus I pray. To Him be the glory and the power and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,

July 30 Devotion - Your DNA in God - Part 15 - I cannot be separated from God's love for me

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? ³⁷ No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

³⁸ And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. ³⁹ No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:35-39 New Living Translation (NLT)

35 من سيفصلنا عن محبة المسيح. أشدّة ام ضيق ام اضطهاد ام جوع ام عري ام خطر ام سيف.

37 ولكننا في هذه جميعها يعظم انتصارنا بالذي احبنا.

38 فاني متيقن انه لا موت ولا حياة ولا ملائكة ولا رؤساء ولا قوات ولا امور حاضرة ولا مستقبلة

39 ولا علو ولا عمق ولا خليقة اخرى تقدر ان تفصلنا عن محبة الله التي في المسيح يسوع ربنا

God’s love for His children, the ones who have accepted Jesus as their Saviour and Lord over their lives, can never change or be altered by whatever means or circumstances. Nothing we can do can make God love us any more or any less —indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God for us that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Lord that nothing can separate me from Your love for me, indeed nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate me from Your love for me God, that is revealed in Christ Jesus my Lord. Thank You Lord that my DNA reveals that Jesus bought me with His precious blood and through Jesus’ redemptive work at The Cross I am granted access to You God, my Heavenly Father and I rejoice that I will spend eternity with You. Father God, I pray that You strengthen me to behave in a such a way that pleases Your spirit within me. In the Holy Name of Jesus I pray. To Him be the glory and the power and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,

July 27 Devotion - Your DNA in God - Part 14 - I am seated with Christ in the heavenly realms

For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:6

واقامنا معه واجلسنا معه في السماويات في المسيح يسوع

We who have accepted Christ as our Saviour and Lord over our lives are justified by the blood of Christ. Christ’s resurrection is the proof that He has made the full atonement, and that we are raised from a death of sin to a life of righteousness; and now we sit in heavenly places. Realize that we now have a right to the Kingdom of God, expect this glory, and be filled with the joy of The Lord in the possession of this salvation, and in our fellowship with Christ Jesus.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You Lord that my DNA reveals that Jesus bought me with His precious blood and I am seated with Christ in the heavenly realms. Through Jesus’ redemptive work at The Cross and His resurrection I am granted access to You God, my Heavenly Father and I will spend eternity with You. Thank You Lord that You redeemed me and granted me forgiveness of my sins, You  justified me and even sanctified me according to the riches of Your grace. Lord, I pray that out of Your  glorious riches that You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can continue to declare to the world that Christ is my Lord and Saviour and Friend and be filled with the joy of The Lord in the possession of my salvation, and in my fellowship with Christ Jesus. Strengthen me God so as to behave in a such a way that pleases Your spirit within me.  God I praise You, revere You, worship You, I stand in awe of You, I lift You up on high, and glorify Your Holy Name. In the Holy Name of Jesus I pray. To Him be the glory and the power and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,

July 26 Devotion - Your DNA in God - Part 13 - I have access to God through the Holy Spirit

Now all of us can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us.

Ephesians 2:18

لان به لنا كلينا قدوما في روح واحد الى الآب.

Through Jesus, we all have access through the influence of the Holy Spirit, unto our Heavenly Father God Almighty. No spirit can have access to God except through Jesus Christ, and Jesus only introduces to God the spirit that has received His Holy Spirit. Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”

John 14:6

قال له يسوع انا هو الطريق والحق والحياة .ليس احد يأتي الى الآب الا بي .

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You Lord that my DNA reveals that I have access to God through the Holy Spirit because I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and my Saviour and I was purchased with the precious blood of Christ. Lord I praise You and glorify You. LORD, I pray that out of Your  glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Holy Spirit so that I can continue to declare to the world that Christ is my Lord and Saviour and Jesus may continue to dwell in my heart through faith. In the Holy Name of Jesus I pray. To Him be the glory and the power and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
