RHEMA From Heaven

Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit.”

Condemnation is the feeling of guilt, disapproval, and fear that overwhelms many because of past mistakes or sins. It breaks courage, weakens confidence, and steals the joy of walking with God. But Scripture boldly declares that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

In Christ, you have become a new creation. You are born of God in true righteousness and holiness. Never allow the enemy to imprison you with memories of your past. Rise above it. Your life is no longer defined by what you once did, but by who you are now in Christ.

When you give room to condemnation, you cannot give your best in anything. It makes you feel inferior and uninterested in fulfilling God’s purpose for your life. But the truth is this: your past has passed away. God is not holding your former life against you- whether yesterday or years back. 2nd Corinthians 5:19 says, “God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them.” What matters now is the new life you have received.

Do not dwell on what you used to be. Set your heart and actions on building the beautiful life God has given you in Christ. Do not go back to the bondage of guilt and fear. Jesus is your everlasting safety. Scripture assures us that Jesus Christ the righteous is our advocate. Instead of living under condemnation, stay in fellowship with the Lord and meditate on His love. His Spirit will guide your steps daily.

Live with courage every day. You are God’s best. You are His righteousness and holiness. Stand firm in the Lord. Let go of the past and embrace the glorious life you now have in Christ. You are free, healed, saved, and delivered. Set your mind and heart on this truth always.

Read: John 8:36 “So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.”

Pray: Lord, I thank You that I am not condemned. Thank You for the grace to live out my best today with the righteousness and holiness You have given me. Amen.

Romans 6:1–2 “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound? Certainly not. We have died to sin, so how can we live in it any longer?”

The believer is not called to live in ongoing sin. Salvation does not only restore our relationship with God; it awakens us to live with a desire to please Him. When you are born again, your spirit, which was once dead, is made alive. This means your life is no longer controlled by the flesh or the soul, but by your spirit, which is in union with Christ.

Because you are joined with Christ, you now have power over sin. The forces that once pulled you into ungodly habits have lost their authority. Scripture declares that our old self was crucified with Christ so that the body ruled by sin would be rendered powerless and that we should no longer be slaves to sin (Romans 6:6).

At salvation, the nature that made sin attractive and guiltless was destroyed. You now carry a new nature fashioned after God. Ephesians 4:24 says, “Put on the new self, created in the image of God, in true righteousness and holiness.”

This truth shifts your focus from being sin conscious to being Christ conscious. You must walk in your victory not by concentrating on weakness, but by fixing your mind on the new life given to you in Christ. His righteousness, His victory, and His indwelling presence that define who you are.

Know that, because of Christ, sin no longer has dominion over you. You are empowered to resist temptation and to walk in righteousness.

Read: Romans 6:14 “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.”

Pray: Lord, I thank You for the new life I have in Christ. I receive grace to be Christ conscious and to walk daily in the victory, purity, and righteousness You have given me. Amen.

John 13:34“I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too are to love one another”

Love as a virtue is not practiced in a vacuum. There is a model that we must
follow when it comes to love. Our model or example is Christ.

As a Christian, you must love others just like Christ. One feature about the
love of Christ is that it is not discriminatory and reaches out to people at the point of need.

Loving people like Christ did, means that we love people not on merit. You see, Christ loved us when we were sinners. Romans 5:8 says, “But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us”. (AMP). So, you must love people not because they have some special features or excellence. Rather, the love you demonstrate to them must perfect them in their walk with God.

When you are looking for nice, and good people to walk in love towards then you are not emulating the love of Christ.

Thus, the kind of love Jesus demonstrated must let you love people and pray for their salvation or use any opportunity to bring them to know the Lord. Let Jesus be your example when it comes to walking in love.

Read: Ephesians 5:2 “And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and
hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor”

Prayer: Lord, I pray for grace to walk in love like Christ did.

2 Peter 3:18 “but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen”.
Growing up or growth is one important feature in life. Naturally or spiritually, growth moves us into higher realities.

Growth is a sign of progress. As a Christian, God expects you to grow from one level to another. The new life or being born again, akin to natural birth starts from the “baby stage”.
Thus, there is the need to grow up, and become mature.

As a Christian you must grow up in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus. Thus, you must grow up to know why Jesus died for you, grow up to know the word of the Lord, grow up to know God’s purpose for your life. Growth in these areas will make you firm or steadfast in the faith.

You see, growth in the natural happens when there is proper diet and exercise. The same can be said about your spiritual life. You need to feed on God’s word and to exercise it (put it into practice) to grow.

Don’t be a Christian that is malnourished. Desire to grow. Pray. Fast. Study the word. Exercise your faith. And you will progress daily in your relationship with God.

Read: 1 Peter 2:2 “as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby”

Prayer: Lord, I pray for grace to grow up as a Christian in the Lord

1 Corinthians 16:13“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.”

Faith is the lifeline of every believer. It is through faith that we come to God, walk with Him, and receive His promises. Without faith, we cannot truly please God or live a victorious Christian life. This makes faith essential to every part of our journey with God.

Because faith is so important, the enemy targets it. The goal of the enemy is to cause your faith to fail. If your faith becomes weak, your confidence in God begins to break, and your ability to receive from Him is hindered. But God desires that your faith be strong, stable, and enduring.

Romans 4:19 gives us the example of Abraham: “And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb.”

Abraham did not allow physical evidence to weaken his trust in God’s promise. His situation looked hopeless, but his faith was rooted in what God had said. That is the mark of strong faith. It does not waver because of what the eyes see. It holds on firmly to God’s Word.

To be strong in faith means to be unmoved by circumstances. It means trusting God even when there are delays, setbacks, or impossibilities. Strong faith believes in the power and faithfulness of God above all else.

But this kind of faith does not just happen. It is built. It is strengthened by spending time in God’s Word. Romans 10:17 says that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. If you want strong faith, you must feed on the Word. You must also act on it. Faith grows when it is practiced.

As you meditate on Scripture, pray, and obey what God says, your faith is refined. And when trials come, your foundation will be firm. You will not be tossed about by fear or doubt, because your faith is rooted in truth.

Let your faith be alive and growing. Stand firm in what God has spoken. Be courageous. Be strong. Refuse to be shaken. The Lord is faithful, and those who trust in Him will never be put to shame.

Read: Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Prayer Lord, strengthen my faith through Your Word and help me to stand firm, trusting You beyond what I see.

Romans 6:14 “For sin shall not [any longer] exert dominion over you, since now you are not under Law [as slaves], but under grace [as subjects of God’s favor and mercy]” (AMPC)

One awesome blessing that characterizes the new life or being born again is freedom. Galatians 5:1 from The Passion Translation reads, “At last we have freedom, for Christ has set us free! We must always cherish this truth and firmly refuse to go back into the bondage of our past.”

You see, being born again sets you free from the grip of the devil and the power of sin. It instantly moves you into Christ, where you have victory over sin and all the works of the enemy. 1 John 3:9 says, “No one who is born of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, because God’s seed [His principle of life, the essence of His righteous character] remains [permanently] in him [who is born again—who is reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose]; and he [who is born again] cannot habitually [live a life characterized by] sin, because he is born of God and longs to please Him” (AMP).

The moment you are born again, you are no longer a slave to sin. The power of salvation is not just in the forgiveness of past wrongs, but in the complete transformation of who you are. You receive a new nature, a new identity, and a new position in Christ. The old life governed by sin is gone. You are now the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Living in victory over sin is not about fighting to be free, it is about recognizing that you are already free. This is why you must never see yourself as a slave to sin. That is not your identity anymore. You are not struggling to stop living in sin—rather, the sinful nature you once carried has been done away with.

Your responsibility is to renew your mind daily with the Word, allowing the truth of your new identity to reshape your thoughts, habits, and desires. By this, the acts of sin and temptation lose their appeal.

Congratulations! You are a victor.

Romans 6:22 says, “But now since you have been set free from sin and have become willing slaves to God, you have your benefit, resulting in sanctification [being made holy and set apart for God’s purpose], and the outcome is eternal life.”

Prayer: Father, I thank You that I am no longer under the dominion of sin.

Psalm 63:8 “My soul follows hard after you.”

A genuine walk with God begins with hunger. That’s a deep, unquenchable longing to know Him more and to be close to His presence. This hunger moves you beyond routine Christianity into a life of intimacy and power. It is this inner thirst that drives you to seek God in prayer, study His Word diligently, and live in full alignment with His will. Without hunger, spiritual growth becomes stagnant, and passion for the things of God begins to fade.

When your heart truly hungers for God, everything else takes its rightful place. You no longer chase after worldly satisfaction but pursue the One who satisfies the soul. David expressed this kind of longing when he said, “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.” Such hunger draws you deeper into fellowship with the Holy Spirit and ignites a consistent desire to please the Father in every area of life.

You see, hunger for God keeps your spiritual fire burning. It sustains your prayer life, sharpens your sensitivity to God’s voice, and strengthens your obedience to His Word. A hungry heart cannot settle for mediocrity; it continually presses into God’s presence until His nature becomes visible in every thought, word, and action.

Today, make a conscious decision to rekindle your desire for God. Let your soul pant after Him as the deer pants for water. Seek Him earnestly in prayer, stay faithful in His Word, and remain steadfast in fellowship. The more you pursue Him, the more He fills and satisfies you.

Read: Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”

Prayer: Lord, create in me a deeper hunger for You.

1 Peter 2:9 ” But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light”

The Christian has been called by God and set apart from anything that corrupts. Thus, as a Christian, you are sanctified and brought into fellowship with God. Now, it is not about how or what you feel, rather it is about aligning your heart and life to the truth that you are God’s own. Thus, you must be devoted to him.

As a Christian, God’s nature of holiness has been imparted to you. Nonetheless, it is your responsibility to make it “vital” or give it “expression” in your daily life.

With this consciousness, you must separate yourself or cleanse yourself from anything that has the tendency to make you defiled. That willpower has been given to you by God. In addition, you have the conscience of holiness as a Christian.

You see, with the conscience of holiness or purity in you, you are guided from within. Moreover, the Holy Spirit, who is in you, also helps you to live within the scope of God’s holy standards. Living in holiness or purity is, therefore, a matter of yielding or submitting to the guidance that God has already provided for you.

Don’t yield your life to greed, inappropriate desires, and sexual immorality. Your life has been cleansed already by the Lord. Live everyday for his glory and purpose.

Read: 2 Corinthians 7:1 also says: “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”

Prayer: Lord, thank you for setting me apart for your purpose and use. I have received grace to live out the righteousness and holiness nature I have received.

Ephesians 5:15-16 “So be very careful how you live, not being like those with no understanding, but live honorably with true wisdom, for we are living in evil times. Take full advantage of every day as you spend your life for his purposes.”

One of the blessings we get as people is to see each day that the Lord has made. Thus, being alive and having the opportunity to participate in this lives activities must not be taken for granted or misused.

Our opening text, gives a guide on how to make use of each day. It places emphasis on the the role of wisdom, purposefulness, and making the most of each moment. As a Christian, these core elements must help you live out your best in each day.

Living with wisdom will tell you what to do and what not to do, and when to do what. Wisdom helps you to be guided in your actions. When you are purposeful, you live with a certain goal or focus. As Christians our aim is to please God in all we do. Not only that, but to also follow God’s grand scheme for our lives. But we must do it one day at a time. Finally, we must be sensitive to grasp opportunities, and moments that God allows to come our way to do the needful. This is how to live life. It is with joy, good expectations and ultimately brings glory to God.

Never allow your past mistakes, errors and wrongs the chance to rob you of the new day God brings your way. Why do you want to be overburden with yesterday’s errors in today. That’s trying to live with guilt and condemnation that the Lord has dealt with already (Romans 8).

As you step out today, tell yourself “ I am God’s righteousness, I am created for good works, I am living out God’s purpose, and the joy of the Lord is my strength for today”.  Never put yourself down for one second or let anything hold you bound. Press on. Take full advantage of today. Be the best you can in all you do today. You are a winner and a King’s kid. God got your back

Read: Isaiah 43:18-19 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. [19] See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

Prayer: Lord, thank you for a new day. I receive grace to do exploits today. I will win, I will reign, and manifest your glory.

Jude 1:4 “For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.”

We are living in days where ungodliness is boldly displayed everywhere. The evidence confronts us as Christians every single day. Still, one truth must sit firmly in your heart: you are not ungodly. You cannot be under the lordship of Christ and at the same time live in ungodliness. That only happens when a person abandons faith, reverence, and the fear of the Lord.

The ungodly are impious, without reverence for God, and they do not live to please Him. Instead, they follow their own lusts and the desires of the enemy. Scripture gives a vivid picture of such people. Proverbs 16:27 says, “An ungodly man diggeth up evil, and in his lips there is as a burning fire.”

If you put ungodliness in simple terms, ungodly people are those who go back to the grave of redemption and dig up the very evil Christ died to destroy. They revive what grace came to bury.

The Bible also teaches that the ungodly twist the grace of God into a license for immorality and deny the Lord Jesus. There is no clearer description of a life steeped in immorality and rebellion against Christ than the word “ungodly.”

Take charge of your spiritual life in these times. Do not allow any form of corruption to creep in. Your responsibility toward the ungodly is to preach Christ to them, not to join them in their works. Resist every influence that tries to drag you into ungodliness.

Read: Psalm 1:1 “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.”

Prayer: Lord, keep my heart pure and strengthen me to walk far from every form of ungodliness.
