JOEL OSTEEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL 2ND JANUARY 2025 MESSAGE
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 2nd January 2025 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Thursday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: You Are Very Powerful
Solomon son of David took firm control of his kingdom, for the LORD his God was with him and made him very powerful. – 2 Chronicles 1:1, NLT
TODAY’S WORD
At the start of this new year, you may be facing situations that look too big. The opposition is too strong, the dream too great. It’s easy to have a weak mentality, to feel intimidated, as though you’re at a disadvantage. This is probably the way Solomon felt when his father, David, died. David was an amazing leader who had conquered nations and defeated giants.
Solomon wasn’t a warrior king like his father, but he was suddenly thrust into this position. I’m sure he was tempted to shrink back and think, “This is too much. I can’t lead a nation.” But today’s Scripture says that he took firm control of the kingdom, for the Lord was with him and made him very powerful.
You may see yourself as limited, not enough, less-than, but the Lord your God is with you. He has made you not just powerful, but very powerful. What you’re up against may be big, but it’s no match for you. The same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in you. You’re not ordinary. You’re not common. You are very powerful.
PRAYER OF THE DAY
“Father, thank You that every force of the enemy was broken when Jesus rose from the dead. Thank You that You have given me Your power and that there will be no situation in this coming year that is too big or opposition too strong. I declare that You have made me very powerful. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
