JESUS CHRIST is the Holy One of GOD the Father. ~ (Mark 1:24)

The Confession of the Demon

The evil spirit that possessed the man in the synagogue recognized the holiness of Jesus Christ, and addressed Him as the 'Holy One of God'.  Such acknowledgement coming from a demon speaks volumes.  The words are true, but spoken out of fear. It is no wonder then that it vanished when Jesus rebuked it.  

The only place satan can reside and fully operate, is in a spiritually-filthy environment.  We can be holy if we surrender all to the 'Holy One of God' and give Him full control of our lives.  Satan hates holiness with a passion.  He cannot reside in our bodies, souls, or spirit if we are holy.

Reflection
Holiness is the key to truly enjoying the presence of God in our lives.  The Bible says without holiness, we cannot see God (Hebrews 12:14).  Come to Jesus Christ today; come! He is waiting to have you in His arms.

Abba, Father! ~ (Romans 8:15)

Abba, is an intimate Name for our Heavenly Father.  It means 'Father'.

When you become a child of God by reason of your salvation, everything about you becomes His: your life, body, time, children, possessions, achievements, etc. It is good to know that you no longer need to worry about them, for they are absolutely in His control and under His watchful eyes, unless of course you refuse to let Him have full control.  Be reminded of this sovereign characteristic of God when you feel unduly burdened with the cares of the world.

If you are yet to surrender your life to Jesus Christ, you are a beloved creature of God, just like every other creature, but not His child.  To be a child of God is a great blessing.  We are adopted into His family through our relationship with Jesus Christ (John 1:12).  In Jesus, we become children of God the Father, through faith (Galatians 3:26).

GOD pities those who fear Him, as a father pities his children ~ (Psalm 103:13)

God looks upon us in our lowly circumstances and sympathizes with us.  He pities and comforts us when we are disheartened.  He pities us when we fall by our own doing, and helps us to rise up.  He pities and teaches us when we are weak in knowledge.  When we offend Him, He forgives us upon admission of our wrongdoing.  He chastises us when we keep doing wrong, but pities us when feel the pain of His chastisement.  What a loving Father!

Reflection
Are you a child of God?  To be a child of God is a great blessing.  All people are God’s beloved creation, but not all are His children.  We become children of God after we are born-again, because we are adopted into His family through our relationship with Jesus Christ (John 1:12).  In Jesus, we become children of God the Father, through faith (Galatians 3:26).

GOD works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will. ~ (Ephesians 1:11)

God created each of His creatures for His own purpose.  Both good and bad situations also occur to fulfill His purpose.  Nothing happens to us in life that is not permissible by God.  As His beloved, we trust that every unpleasant situation will always work out for good because we love Him (Romans 8:28).

REFLECTION
You cannot claim to love God if you remain separated from Him.  We are said to be separated from Him when our sins are yet to be cleansed by the precious Blood of His Son Jesus Christ.  Separation from God also means that we are excluded from all the wonderful plans and blessings He has for us as His beloved creatures.  God can turn an unpleasant situation in your life into a testimony.  However, the wall that separates you from Him needs to be broken down first. Come to Jesus today!

How Can I Receive Jesus Christ As My Lord and Saviour, Today?
