MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Tuesday September 29, 2020
Topic: Weep Not
Text: Revelation 5:1 – 5
John the beloved saw in the hand of Him that sat upon the throne, a
scroll sealed with seven seals. This represented the secret purposes of God
about to be revealed which no one could know except God, and those to whom He
should reveal them.
John wept because he knew that the unopened scroll would mean that
the closing scene of history could not begin; thus, evil would continue
unabated on the earth, and there would be no future for God’s people. However,
one of the elders (Revelation 4:4, 10) told John not to weep any longer,
because someone was worthy to open the scroll; the Lion of the tribe of Judah,
the Root of David who is Jesus Christ.
The Messiah, Jesus Christ, has proved himself worthy by living a
perfect life of obedience to God, dying on the cross to pay the penalty for the
sins of the world, and rising from the dead to demonstrate his power and
authority over evil and death. Only Christ conquered sin, death, hell, and
Satan himself, so only he can open the scroll and break its seven seals,
setting in motion the forces that will bring about the final destruction of all
evil.
This story should be a source of consolation for us when we are
faced with challenges and we weep because we feel there is no way out. We
should remember that Jesus Christ has conquered and He alone is the one who can
save us from all problems of life.
Beloved, weep no more because of that problem, sickness, etc. There
is hope because Christ has prevailed and by trusting and keeping faith on Him,
you will definitely overcome and prevail too.
Food for Thought: Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.
Memory verse: Revelation 5 v 5
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I thank you for conquering sin, death, Satan and hell,
and you are able to solve my problems. Remember me at the point of my needs and
solve my problems.
