Stay In Christ – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional September 2nd

(Christ Is Your Home And Safety)

TO THE BIBLE: Isaiah 54:17
‘“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord.’

LET’S TALK
Today’s opening verse talks about one of the future blessings of Israel’s millennial kingdom under the Messiah, but do you know it’s true of us in Christ today?

In Him, we live, move, and have our being. We’re guaranteed divine protection from all weapons of any nature, fabricated or used against us.

In Christianity, we dwell in Christ. Christ is our home. In Christ, we’re in safety. We’re immune to hurt or harm. It’s like what God did for the children of Israel in the Old Testament.

Exodus 12:22-23 MSG says, ‘Moses assembled all the elders of Israel. He said, “Select a lamb for your families and slaughter the Passover lamb.

Take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the bowl of blood and smear it on the lintel and on the two doorposts. No one is to leave the house until morning. God will pass through to strike Egypt down.

When he sees the blood on the lintel and the two doorposts, God will pass over the doorway; he won’t let the destroyer enter your house to strike you down with ruin.”’

God told the children of Israel to stay inside their houses because the destroyer—the death angel—was coming to town; there would be no safety outside.

Then He instructed them to mark their doorposts and lintels with blood to prevent them from being destroyed along with the Egyptians. They did as God instructed, and they were preserved.

As long as they stayed where God told them to stay, the death angel couldn’t touch them. It’s the same thing today: as long as you’re in Christ—as long as you stay in the truth of God’s Word—death, evil, and peril will “pass over” you.

You’ll live perpetually in victory. When the realities of the Word and who you are in Christ dawn on you, you suddenly come to a place of absolute confidence and independence, where you realise that you’re superior to Satan and nothing he does can affect you. This is our life in Christ. Glory to God!

2 Corinthians 2:14; Psalm 91:5-9

Speak:
I dwell in the secret place of the Most High and under the shadow of the Almighty. He is my refuge and fortress. I’m forever protected and fortified against all evil, wickedness, and corrupting influences in the world because I dwell in Christ, the place of safety, glory, dominion, and everlasting joy—where I reign and rule over circumstances, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
