TODAY’S DEVOTION (Monday 28th July 2025)
“But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves.”
“You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,” says the Lord of hosts.” Malachi 4:2-3 NKJV
WELCOME TO THE 209th DAY OF OUR YEAR OF VICTORY!
Glory be to the LORD God for how great He has been. It’s been from victory to victory, and from one manifestation of His goodness and mercies to another. We thank God for giving us another day!!
How great is His goodness towards those who seek Him. We just concluded the dominion seminar last week. It made that week one of the best weeks of our lives. If you want to walk in power, go get those messages and feed your spirit with them from time to time.
I will advise further that you Set time aside, every two, three or six months, where you sit with those messages for a week and relive the encounter we just had last week. If you do this, you will become one of the most sort after believers in God’s kingdom.
People who walk in God’s power end up becoming sort after by others.
The Bible prophesied that ten people will hold their skirts and say, “we want to go with you. We have seen that God is with you.” (Paraphrased) The world needs God’s power to break from all works of the devil. If you become part of those God uses to supply that power to the world, your life will change significantly.
We have been looking at the things our divine destiny needs to be fulfilled, of course one of them is God’s power flowing through us. If the power of God is not flowing through our lives, our divine destiny will never be fulfilled. Power from God is one of the requirements for fulfilling any vision, plan, program, or call from God.
No matter how weighty your divine destiny is, if you do not have power from God, you will not be able to fulfill it. You will be too impotent spiritually to fulfill anything God may have pre planned you to fulfill on this side of eternity if His power is not flowing constantly in your life. I remember covering this in a previous devotional.
SO, GET THOSE MESSAGES AND MAKE THEM PART OF YOUR POWER COLLECTIONS.
The next thing our divine destiny will need to be fulfilled is what we will be looking at in today’s devotional. Our divine destiny will need proper positioning around Christ, our sun of righteousness to be fulfilled. It is a spiritual positioning that everyone who ever fulfilled a divine destiny took. None of us can be an exception.
It is a positioning that will guarantee us a constant supply of all we need to become all that He pre-planned us to be in our lifetime.
When He was physically departing from the earth, He said, “lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen (Matthew 28:20 NKJV).
This speaks of one thing. It speaks of how Christ is presently positioned in the Spirit realm, to give His Supernatural SUN-POWER, to all His Children on the face of the earth or a supernatural supply of all we need to become all He wants us to be. That is what makes proper positioning a key!!
Now, if you study the solar system, you will realize that it is the position the moon, the earth, and other planets take that determines if they will get from the Sun what it was created and positioned to give to them.
For instance, the proper positioning of the planet earth to receive light and energy from the Sun is responsible for the growth of plants and animals on planet earth. The role of the Sun in making plants to grow is called “Photosynthesis.”
Photosynthesis scientifically, is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize or manufacture foods from carbon dioxide and water. Meaning, without sunlight, no plant will be able to fulfill its destiny, the destiny of supplying food to animals, humans, etc.
In the same way, we are the plantings of the LORD, we will only be able to fulfill our destiny if the Sun of righteousness reaches us always with the energy that we need to spiritually synthesize what we need to fulfill our destiny from the supply we get from the word and Spirit of the LORD.
OUR POSITIONING IS THE KEY TO ALL THAT.
There is another side to this. We may not be able to state in great detail how the proper positioning of the planet earth is helping it to be impacted with life or energy from the Sun. But the Bible says it is this positioning that helps us on planet earth to mark our calendars; that is to mark seasons, years, and days.
None of these will be possible if the earth decides to move away from the position God planted it to receive impact from the sun. Now, if we bring all these to our relationship with Jesus Christ, we will be able to understand God’s Rhema Word to us this morning. Our devotional text says:
“But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves.”
“You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,” says the Lord of hosts.”
The first thing you must understand in this text is the need for “proper faith position” in the Spirit.
Like we shared earlier, our savior Jesus Christ, is like the Sun. It is the position we take in adjacent to Him as our Sun of righteousness that determines if we will have all we need from Him to release our destiny or fulfill His assignment for our lives or not.
If we are not properly positioned in our faith, we will not be able to receive anything from Him, our Sun of Righteousness. For instance, our Holiness proceeds from Him. If we are not properly positioned in our faith, we will not be able to receive it and live a righteous life on the face of the earth. This will lead to a life of Sin, lawlessness, and iniquity.
Everything about our divine destiny in Christ Jesus is fulfilled through proper spiritual positioning. If you are dreaming of becoming all that God has created you to be but not taking the responsibility of positioning yourself properly around Christ, you will never see your dreams come to fulfillment.
IT IS THE CLOSER ONE STAY TO GOD THAT DETERMINED HOW FAR THE SATANIC AND DEMONIC WILL STAY FROM HIM OR HER.
It is the position one takes around the LORD that will determine if he or she will have the sufficient power to do what God has pre planned him or her to do or be what God has predestined him or her to be.
Great men like Moses, Samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Elijah and Elisha, and the rest of the prophets who operated in divine accuracy and released their destinies so powerfully that we still talk about them today achieved all that through proper positioning in the Spirit. They positioned themselves properly around the pre incarnate Christ.
We cannot do otherwise. We must position ourselves around the resurrected Christ to unleash our destinies.
Talking about the prophetic anointing we find in the lives of these men, it is important to understand that if you want to operate accurately in the prophetic, locate the faith position to take around the Sun of righteousness in the Spirit, and you will operate in it. Position yourself around Him and He will wrap you with a prophetic mantle.
In the same way, if our health is down and we need permanent freedom, if our finances are down and we need them up, there is more than enough from the Sun of righteousness to help us get back to our shining spots. The blessing of a good marriage, and all other types of blessings, miracles or divine visitations we need, can come easily if we are properly positioned around Him, our Sun of Righteousness, especially through a life that is submissive to His will and ways. The Bible says,
“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
“Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” James 4:7-10 NKJV
As we bring this to a close, understand that hidden in the scripture are the many faith positions we can take around the Sun of righteousness.
The scripture teaches that submission to God (and all Spiritual and Godly authorities), resisting the devil (and works of the flesh), Drawing Near to God through deep intimacy sessions, cleansing our hands and purifying our hearts (by spending time with sanctifying truths), and walking in humility are key ways we can use in positioning ourselves around the Sun of righteousness to receive all we need to unleash our destiny.
MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL RESOURCE FOR THE DAY
Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Jude 1-4 KJV
