Daily Devotional with Pastor Mike Okonkwo MFR

   The Gospel Is The Power To Save

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
 Romans 1:16

 The gospel of Christ is the good-news and each time you hear the gospel you are actually hearing the good-news. This good-news is the power of God for your salvation from hell, illness financial challenges, harm, marital challenges and other aspects of your life that needs God’s intervention. One thing is to hear the gospel and another thing is to understand it and believe it in your heart; and this must happen if you must get the benefit.
 From our text you will discover that it is further buttressed in (v.17) that in this good news the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. In other words, you are the righteousness of God. You received it by faith in His finished work on the cross and not by what you did right. It is from faith to faith not faith to works or works to works.
 The good-news is never preached to show you what is wrong with you but to show you what is now right with you because of Jesus. All you need to do now is to hear and believe in this saving power of the gospel of Christ to heal you of all sickness, preserve you from danger, prosper you and grant you bliss in your family.
 The gospel of Christ is so good because it is true. Believe it and act on it and you will see the result.
