ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 12TH OCTOBER 2021.
The hope ofeveryone who partakes in any competition or task is to finish successfully and be declared victorious. The struggle for the control of the world system has been an ongoing one even as at Jesus’ time (Matt. 4:8).The revelation in verse 15 should be an encouragement to all believers. It is an assurance that if we endure to the end, we shall reign with Him forever. We can observe here that God is supreme; the assurance of His supremacy should always guide our actions especially in times of temptations and difficulties
when the pressure to give up on God builds up so fiercely. Such assurance made Jesus to endure the cross and its shame (Heb. 12:1, 2).There is always a place of honour for him who endures to the end. Ignorance of this truth can significantly influence so many actions and reactions.
Many have taken short cut measures to actualise a project or achieve a thing but many times, these yield no meaningful results. Despite His powers and position as the Son of God, when the devil tempted Him, Jesus did not seek outlets to avoid the sufferings and death ahead of Him. Doing so could have had serious negative consequences on the salvation of mankind. We must get it right and look forward to the final victory which will come with reward. Do not give up.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, grant me grace to be victorious at last. Amen.
