Topic: YOUR SALVATION IS YOUR DEFENCE – Bishop Mike Okonkwo Devotional 13 October 2019 [The Redeemed Evangelical Mission]

“For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you.”
Isaiah 60:2 NKJV

As we begin to climax the end of this age, the Church of Jesus Christ will undergo intensive attack. But fear not because the glory of God will set you apart. God is going to allow what is happening to manifest His glory in a greater dimension. Therefore, you must not be distracted. You must be focused. Do not let any challenge distract you. Don’t expect the world to speak well of the Church. That is why you must filter what you listen to and who you listen to. It is the dawn of the Glory of the Church. It is the dawn of a new day! Get ready! Things will happen suddenly in your life. In a twinkling of an eye! There is an anointing for completion that is coming upon your life. What had not been completed shall be completed.

Isaiah 60:1 declares: “Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.” (Isaiah 60:1 NKJV) When light comes, it is an indication of you realizing your expectations. Whenever light shows up, it speaks of revelation and it speaks of insight. “Arise shine…” The ancient prophet of God was speaking to the Church. “…For your light has come…” It is not going to come, it has come. The day you gave your life to Christ, you crossed over from darkness into light. You have been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the Kingdom of His dear Son. You have already crossed over! No more pain! No more disappointment!

Your salvation is your defence. You are not in the company of those that the devil would stop from achieving their purpose. You will get there. You see, the beauty of our relationship with God is that once you have received Christ into your life, it’s a guarantee that things must work for you.
