John 16:33

Jesus said, ” These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Devotion.

As Jesus was about to be crucified on the cruel cross. He told His disciples to be at peace because He would be resurrected from the dead on the third day, and defeat our last enemy which is death.

And Jesus was victorious and triumphant over death, He was raised from the dead on the third day by our Creator God.

So let us continue to have faith, confidence, trust and the blessed hope in Jesus’ ability to take care of every and any situation that we have.

Only Jesus is able to do for us what no one else can do.

Jesus is able – absolutely nothing is impossible for God, for Jesus to do.

Prayer (for you)

Eternal Father,

Thank You for sending Jesus to be my Saviour, my Redeemer.

How loving, compassionate You are, Lord God Almighty.

Thank You, Lord Jesus for coming to earth, dwelling among us and showing us the way, the truth and the life.

Because You are the way – the only way to be saved, be part of the family of God, and receive God’s gift of eternal life.

And You are the truth – You tell us the truth about what life is all about, and You are the life – eternal comes through You, and only You.

Lord Jesus, I give You thanks and praise for all that You have done for me, what You are doing, and what You will continue to do to make sure I am saved, part of the family of God, and receive God’s gift of eternal life.

Thank You for Your great sacrifice of love to save me from sin.

O Lord, how wonderful to know that You can do anything, You are the Creator God, and nothing, absolutely nothing is impossible for You to do.

And although tribulations, trials, storms of life may come, how wonderful to know that Jesus cares for me, and He will take care of everything, and give me His peace.

O Lord Jesus, I will bring everything to You in prayer, and tell You my concerns, tell You things that I cannot tell anyone else, because I know You love and care for me, and will help me to be an overcomer, just as You are.

Thank You for the peace that You give to me.

Praise the Lord!

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Hymn.

I heard an old, old story.

How a Saviour came from glory.

How He gave His life on Calvary.

To save a sinner like me.

I heard about His groaning

Of His precious blood atoning.

Then I repented of my sins and won the victory.

Chorus.

O victory in Jesus, my Saviour forever.

He sought me and redeemed me by His precious blood.

He loved me ere I knew Him.

And all my love is due to Him.

He washed me with His precious blood.

And gave me the victory.

There is victory in Jesus.

Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!

Inspiration.

We should be always aware that Jesus is coming again, and He can come at anytime, morning, noon or night.

So we should be alert and live a holy and godly life with Jesus’ help, and focus on glory, focus on the fact of Jesus’ second coming back to earth to receive His redeemed.

Also share God’s Plan of Redemption so that others will know that Jesus saves us from sin and destruction.

1 Corinthians 15:21-23

For since by man come death, by Man, also come the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.

But each one in his own order Christ the firstfruit, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.

Inspiration.

Because Adam and Eve disobeyed God, when they were tempted by the devil, then sin and death came upon the human race.

Because the wages of sin is death – eternal death.

But Jesus Christ came to earth and shed His precious blood to save us, therefore sin shall not have dominion over us.

Jesus died and was resurrected on the third day by our Creator God, so that those who accept Jesus, as Saviour will also be resurrected when Jesus’ return.

And we will receive the gift of eternal life through Jesus’ great sacrifice of love for us.

Prayer (for you)

Our Heavenly Father,

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty.

I praise and adore You and bless Your Holy Name.

Thank You for another day when I can seek You with all my heart, soul and mind.

Thank You for sending Jesus to save me – to save all of us who accept Jesus as our Saviour.

Lord Jesus, You paid the ultimate sacrifice for my salvation, and I thank You, I praise You for what You have done for me.

You told Your disciples exactly what would happen, and everything happened just as You said it would.

You were crucified on the cruel cross and Creator God resurrected  You on the third day.

And You are alive forever more, and You are in Heaven making Intercession for me and all your redeemed.

I look forward to that wonderful day when You will return, not as the suffering Saviour, but as King of kings and Lord of lords in all Your magnificent glory.

When the  Christians who have died will be resurrected and those of us who are alive will be caught up to meet You in the air.

We will get to see Jesus, our Saviour face to face, and receive the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Lord Jesus, what a wonderful day that will be, when I will see You, my Saviour, face to face.

Please keep me faithful in my Christian journey, and help me to endure to the end so that I will be saved, redeemed and make holy.

I love You, Lord God, Lord Jesus.

In Your precious name, I pray.

Amen.
