Declare your liberation !

Searching the Scriptures

Praise the Eternal, for he is good ; for his mercy endureth for ever ! So say the redeemed of the Eternal, whom he has delivered out of the hand of the enemy. Psalm 107.1-2

As God has done His work of redemption in our lives and delivered us from the hand of the enemy, let us remember to do our part.

What thus say the redeemed of the Lord! We just have to declare with our own mouth and not shut up that we are redeemed, delivered from the hand of the enemy, redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. The New Testament says : "In him we have redemption, by his blood redemption from sins." And Paul reminds us in Romans that it is not enough only to believe with the heart "because it is by believing with the heart that one arrives at righteousness, and it is by confessing with the mouth that one arrives at salvation".

It is good to believe with the heart, but remember that it is not enough. You must confess - your mouth must proclaim out loud what you believe with your heart. You must tune the words of your mouth with the Word of God in the Bible, and when your words agree with those of God, you come to the fulness of salvation. What thus say the redeemed of the Lord !

Listen to the voice of God

Let’s take the time to listen to what God means. He bought you at a great price, now you are fully free in Jesus.

Praying is easy. Talk to God as you would your closest friend. God loves you and he can hear everything. Here is an example of a prayer : “Lord Jesus, I proclaim that I believe in you, that I believe in your blood, which has forgiven me, redeemed me, purified(e) ! I mean it and it repeat ! Help me always to accord the words of my mouth with your Word ! In the name of Jesus !"

Praise God

To praise God is to show him our gratitude. What are your subjects of recognition today ? Take a time to thank the Lord.

Act today

Now dig deeper into what you have received. What can you do to apply what God has told you ? Write down the concrete actions you can take.

Honor the Lord

Our route for the day comes to an end. Let us pray together to honor our God.

"Lord, I praise you for you have redeemed me and my life is important to you. Yours be the reign, the power and the glory, amen !"
