GOD IS SET FOR YOU TODAY



Text: Psalms 118:24 “This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it”

INTRODUCTION
Every day is the Lord’s made day. Now everything God makes is always very good and that includes today, Gen 1:31. Before anything is satisfied made, everything must already be in place. God does not deal in half-baked deals. Whatever, He has chosen to do He must have decided to bring it to completion. Every yester-day that has passed was once today and every tomorrow is coming to be today. Every day passed through today.

Many especially in the body of Christ have this belief that a particular day is set for them to receive one thing or the other from God. But I have come to tell you that every day is the Lord’s Day; today is your set day for you to receive your Financial and Ministerial breakthrough, healing, job etc. God is set for you today; until you come to this point in your life you’ll be stalled.

Hence, every day comes with diverse packages for the enviable living of mankind and we’ll be looking at a few of them in a moment. Life is meant to be abundant when you give your life to Jesus however; many are still crawling today because of their ignorance of what I will be sharing with you now.

WHAT COMES WITH EVERY DAY?
A. Salvation- 2Corinthians 6:2 says;

“...now is the day of salvation”

This is why when salvation is being preached it is emphasized that procrastination could be dangerous because in most cases, the tomorrow you are waiting for might not come. You must do all you can to always seize the moment because the next moment isn’t in your control. Hence, salvation comes with everyday in other words; provision is made for the salvation of souls every single day. However, it is essentially a matter of choice. Give your life to Jesus today because tomorrow may be too late.

B. Healing- In Mark 5:25-34, we read of the woman with the issue of blood that lasted twelve years until she met Jesus. Physician who always gave appointments have failed and worst of all, she had lost her fortune to that predicament. So, invariably what she now wanted was someone who would either heal her for free or at the worst on credit, then Jesus came through for her. Jesus will come through for you today.

Hence, because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever, Hebrew 8:13 she didn’t need to book an appointment with Him. Jesus never had a specific office where He attended to people or a clinic where He ministered healing to the crowd that thronged Him daily; He simply went about doing good. Where He meets you is His office for that moment. Healing comes with every day; that is why I know that it doesn’t matter for how long you’ve been tied down by whatever predicament, as you lift up your hands today calling “Jesus thou son of David”, He will stop to attend to you.

C. Provision- Philippians 4:19 announce God’s benevolence in supplying all our needs according to His riches in glory. God does not need to give you an appointment to meet your need. He has all it takes to do it now. Something very humbling happened in John 2:1-11, there was a wedding ceremony and Jesus and His disciples were present on invitation. At a very crucial point in the ceremony, they ran out of wine and pandemonium was all over with shame knocking hard at the door of this newly wedded couple, Jesus attended to the situation on the spot and shame took to its heels while the raging pandemonium was silenced. This is just to tell you that there is no level of need that is either too much or late for Jesus to meet.

Furthermore in John 6:5-13 Jesus saw the need to feed His audience which numbered about five thousand men save women and children. The looked seemingly impossible that Phillip said;

“...Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little” John 6:7

The end result of every matter Jesus gets involved in is always determined from the beginning. They all eat to satisfaction and had leftover. I have good news for you, those needs in your life that looks very impossible to be met will be taken care of by Jesus today.

D. Paying Debt- When you run to God to rescue you from the shackles of debt, He wouldn’t ask you to come back later. He attends to you right away. You are here and neck-deep in debt, the Lord ask me to tell you “it is settled”. Just a quick reference from scriptures, a Prophet in the Old Testament died leaving his wife with two sons to cater for and a huge amount of debt to wipe off, 2Kings 4:1-8. She tried settling these bills on her but couldn’t, in anyway if she couldn’t with her husband how could she think she would be able to offset the bills alone?

Her debtor decided to take her two sons to slavery since she couldn’t pay so she ran to Elisha the Prophet and explained her predicament to him. Because God will not allow His own to see corruption He attended to her with a sense of urgency to avert the shame fast ravaging His servant’s memorial. Having settled her bills she had a leftover that lasted them a lifetime. Listen to this carefully, that debt that is fast eroding your dignity is wiped off now in Jesus name, Amen.

E. Prosperity- God made His heart-beat known in 3John2 saying;

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth”

In other words, prosperity is God’s will for you and that is why He makes it a point of duty to release it on a daily basis. Believers are destined to prosper in season and out of season because Psalms 1:3 says;

“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper”

 The prosperity of the saint knows no bound or restriction of neither time, day nor weather. God knows that the reputation of any King is measured by the standard of living of his citizens. He in the same vein sees it a shameful thing to see believer’s poor. So that no limitation whatsoever stands against anyone, He tied our prosperity to a covenant made with Abraham, Deuteronomy 8:18 says;

“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day”

Glory to God, that covenant is still active today and you and I were included in that bond. Your role in that covenant is spelled out in Joshua 1:8 and it reads;

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success”

You will not just succeed but have “good success”. Key into this covenant now if you are already born-again because what you don’t know most times is what arms you, Hosea 4:6. Act now that you know.

Conclusively, I have just mentioned a few of the goodies that accompanies every single day; any good thing your mind can either imagine or think about is in today; your house, car, finance, daily bread etc are all in today. Claim what is your now however; you can partake of this abundance and open doors if you are not safe. Lest you are your own antagonist, say this prayer after me please “Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I am a sinner, please forgive all my trespasses, wash me in Your blood and give me a new beginning as I accept you as my Lord and personal Saviour from now on, Amen”. Congratulations, you can now join us in harnessing the benefits embedded in today because God is set for you today. God bless you.
