Daily Devotional with Pastor Mike Okonkwo MFR

Why Worry When Jesus Is On The Throne

“Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?”
 Mathew 6:27

You will be surprised how many have not allowed this question asked by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount or the Beatitudes as they are popularly called, become a reality to them. You must realize that no amount of worrying can lengthen your life or add anything to your person; neither can it solve the challenge ahead of you. Rather, worrying will rob you of sleep, health, joy, peace and many good years.
 God’s anointing flows freely in you to strengthen, heal restore and add to you when you are worry free. When you worry, you are actually saying that the devil has the power to do in you what he is saying because God cannot protect you. In other words, worrying is giving credit to the devil that he does not deserve. This is because nothing can be farther from the truth. The devil is not a roaring lion, it is like a roaring lion. Think of it, no matter how good a carving is, it is only a carving, it cannot bite, the same way, the devil is just like a lion; he Is not a lion. Jesus is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
 When you refuse to worry, you are putting your faith in God. You have more confidence in His love and power working for you than the devils ability to hurt you. You are resting absolutely in the finished work of Jesus Christ and you will see the manifestation of God’s miracle in your life.
 When you refuse to worry, you are boasting in the awesome power of God and guess what God never fails. He will rise up to the occasion and defend His name. There is no need to worry because your Father is in charge.
