Breakfast of Champions - Wednesday 27th May

Good morning, Champion.  Here is breakfast

 

Are you living on benefits?

 

We are living in a time when the statement ” benefit entitlement”  is commonly used and understood. The government offer many ever- changing types of benefits and credits to people with varying income and family situations.

 

It is sadly amazing that many people, especially older people, miss out on so much because they do not know what benefits they are entitled too.  Sadly, many Christians do the same thing and they live average lives or struggle when they should not because they do not have an understanding or no one has ever informed them of their kingdom benefit entitlements.

 

There was a tax office media campaign recently that simply said, “Do you know what benefits you are entitled too?”  That is my question to you today.

Here is a document from Heaven concerning your benefit entitlements today and as they advise, do not forget them!

 

Psalm 103:1–4 (NIV)

Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. 2 Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits- 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,

 

Benefit one: He forgives ALL your sins.

 

What an eternal benefit this is. Notice it does not say some or past one’s, but all. Jesus died for all of your sins -- past present and future. His one-time payment (sacrifice) has qualified you for the benefits of justification and total forgiveness so that you can stand before your God today holy and blameless with your chin held high.   What a great benefit. Don’t go forgetting that one today!

 

Benefit two: He heals all of your diseases.

 

Here is another great benefit. Again, notice the absence of the word some, it again uses the all inclusive word “all”. As well as making payment for your sins He also made total payment for your healing so that you can arise out of every sickness and infirmity by faith in His promise. Don’t go forgetting that one either.

 

Remember these benefits were not cheap and they cost a lot to make available. The good news is another man (Jesus), paid the taxes to release these needed benefits to us.  Thank you Jesus!

 

Bless you and have a great day.
