D-Day

...having made peace through the blood of His cross.
Colossians 1:20

D-Day
D-Day refers to the decision day of a military action. Today, it stands for June 6, 1944, the beginning of the Allied landings in Normandy during World War II. On that day, the Western Front against Germany was opened.

There are also “D-Days” in the history of the Christian faith: decisive days. Wasn’t the day when Jesus Christ was born such a day? Didn’t it prove that God was serious about His plan of salvation? When the set time had come, “God sent His Son” (Galatians 4:4). And wasn’t the day when Jesus was crucified such a day? Through His death, through “the blood of His cross”, He made peace. When He hung on the cross and cried out, “It is finished!” the salvation plan of God was fulfilled; everything was ready for people to find and be saved by God (John 19:30).

But there is also a personal “D-Day”: It is the day when someone realises and acknowledges that Jesus suffered and died for him on the cross of Calvary, and when he confesses his sins to Him. That is the day when I realise: Because I have sinned, He had to die. Only then can I be made right with God. Now I have “peace with God” and know that I am delivered from the wrath to come (Romans 5:1; cf. 1 Thessalonians 1:10).

Military D-Days are decisive days, often turning points in a war. So too the day when a person turns to the Lord Jesus Christ, and believes in Him as his Saviour, is the turning point in his life. It is the most decisive day in life – for eternity, but also for life here and now.

Today’s reading: Lamentations 5:1-22 · Psalms 46:1-11

CAN SATAN RIGHTLY ACCUSE YOU?

Besides discouragement, another weapon Satan uses often against believers is their weaknesses. He simply studies an individual for a period of time and not long after, he identifies the fellow's weakness and capitalizes on it. Take for instance Peter. Satan discovered that Peter is a cowardly person-lacking in...More

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear instantly. This is the fact that there is a God. We cannot be talking of the armour of God if there is no God. Anyone who thinks that there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). You have to pray that God would reveal Himself to you. The...More

He came as a mighty obstacle but turned into a mighty door of opportunity when God stepped in. Every giant who stands in your way this season shall become a door to your breakthrough in Jesus' Name.
