RESTORATION TODAY
TUESDAY 31ST JANUARY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: ASSURANCE OF SALVATION [2].
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall. 2 Peter 1: 10.
Yesterday, we started examining some specific, practical blessings in the Christian life that comes as a result of receiving scriptural assurance of our salvation.
HERE ARE SOME MORE OF THE BLESSINGS:
4. Assurance Gives You Victory In Temptation. When you are confident about your salvation, you can overcome the strongest temptation (1 Corinthians 10: 13). Even if you stumble occasionally, you will know that those events have not changed your standing before God. But you will be depressed and discouraged by temptation if you have no assurance.
5. Assurance Gives Contentment In This Life. You'll rest secure in the promise that you have a glorious heavenly inheritance to look forward to. At the same time, you will be happy and satisfied that God ?shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4: 19). But if you lack assurance of salvation, you'll scramble and reach for all the world?s material goods and feel cheated when you don't obtain them.
6. Assurance Removes The Fear Of death. If you know you're a child of God, you can be sure that the moment you die you will enter Heaven. If you don't have that assurance, however, you'll be even more afraid to die than one who has never heard of Christ.
ACTION POINTS
If you are growing spiritually, so will your assurance, and that will let you enjoy these and other blessings as you look forward to being with the Lord for all eternity.
SCRIPTURE:
Psalm 138.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, thank You for granting me victory over temptation in the name of Jesus.
2. Lord, help me to live in contentment in the name of Jesus
3. Lord, from today, I banish the fear of death from my life in the name of Jesus.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
Genesis 38
Psalm 15 & 16
Matthew 21: 33 - 22: 14.
