TREM Devotional 13 August 2026 By By Bishop Mike Okonkwo

TOPIC: You Already Have It.

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:” – Ephesians 1:4 KJV

THE MESSAGE

Every promise of God over your life must come to pass. God has assured us that the angel of the Lord is encamped around us and will surely bring deliverance to us. The angels of God will serve us. That is why you must be diligent in reading the Word of God so that you can stand on it with understanding.

These are words and promises that God had already perfected in eternity. They are bound to happen in your life. From heaven’s perspective, those promises are already a done deal. The reason they may not have manifested yet is because we are living in time.

Function with the understanding of a movie producer. A producer isn’t anxious while watching a movie because he has already seen it behind the scenes. He knows the script, he knows the outcome, and he knows that the main actors won’t die; nothing can harm them. Child of God, understand that nothing dies in your hands. What you are about to do will prosper. Everything about you will prosper. Your business, career, profession, and every assignment you undertake will succeed.

The book of Ephesians 1:3 tells us, “Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” Verse 4 continues, “According as He has chosen us in Him.” We were chosen in Him before the foundation of the world. You were chosen by God before your parents even came together – to be holy and without blame before Him in love.

He has already called you holy, even before you were born. So, don’t reject your holiness simply because you have faltered one, two, or three times. In the Kingdom, we don’t see to believe; we believe to see. We don’t possess in order to confess; we confess in order to possess. We speak it into existence in order to claim it.
