Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!

S-cripture:

Matthew 4:17

From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”

O-bservation:

Jesus had been baptized in water, had been tempted by the devil in the wilderness after forty days of fasting, and had just learned that His cousin, John the Baptist, had been imprisoned. At which point He began doing what He came to do. He preached for people to repent for the “Kingdom of Heaven” has come near.

A-pplication:

If the truth be known, this message Jesus preached is “Our Only Message.” In other words, if you’re wondering what message you need to deliver as a “Follower of Jesus,” this is it. This is the message John the Baptist had come preaching. When John the Baptist was imprisoned, Jesus picked right up where John left off. When Jesus sent His Disciples out in Matthew 10, it’s the message He told them to deliver. I love the messages of hope, encouragement, love yourself, prosperity, and the end is near. However, the message Jesus told us to impart is, “Repent For The Kingdom Of Heaven Has Come Near.” Who and what is the Kingdom of Heaven? JESUS is the Kingdom of Heaven. And He is … “Our Only Message.” Whatever one has believed to this point, REPENT (Do A One-Eighty), and run toward JESUS.

P-rayer:

Dear Jesus,

It’s been years since I first did MY One-Eighty and began to chase after You! With Your help, I’ll never quit! Amen
