TREM DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
You see the salvation we received from God is so robust. That is why we must continue to explore it so that we fully appropriate the benefits. When we got saved, something powerful happened. Essentially, we entered into an inheritance through the new birth. By virtue of the new birth, you became a new species of being that has never existed before.
Now you are the expression of God on earth. When God wants to express Himself, it is through you. When you are moving about, God is moving about. When you are in the marketplace, God is in the marketplace. You are now endowed with various aspects of God. So, God cannot manifest Himself on this earth outside you.
You cannot express what happened at the new birth with the human mind. It is a revelation! You cannot know it all in one day. Every day, you grow in grace, you grow in the knowledge of who you are; you grow in wisdom. That is why Hosea said we know even as we follow on to know (Hosea 6:3). You keep knowing and you keep entering into it. The more you follow God, the more you begin to discover what God has done for you in salvation and the bolder you become.
As you grow in the knowledge of God, you will discover that your salvation is so heavy and rich that even the saints of old desired to see what type of human beings are these that God will endow so much with. “Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you” (1 Peter 1:9, 10 KJV).
Each time you look into the mirror, tell yourself, I am God’s representative on earth. You are the extension of His hands, His feet, His mouth, etc. Carry yourself in that consciousness and be assured that victory is sure.
