Good -Life Devotional: BEING ASHAMED OF JESUS CHRIST RENDERS THE POWER OF GOD INEFFECTIVE

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Jesus said in Luke 9:26, “For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed…” A Christian who hides their faith forfeits divine power. Paul boldly declared in Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation.” His ministry testified to this power. Acts 19:11–12 records extraordinary miracles God did through Paul—healing the sick and driving out demons with handkerchiefs taken from his body.

  Yet today, many believers are more concerned with image than impact. Modern Christianity often substitutes the gospel for marketing strategies, chasing relevance while neglecting the presence of God. We hesitate to post Scripture in our social media groups, but expect divine intervention when trouble strikes. This compromise results in spiritual weakness.

Proverbs 13:13 warns, “Whoever despises the word will be destroyed.” God's power flows through His Word. Psalm 103:20 says angels “excel in strength…hearkening unto the voice of his word.” Miracles manifest when we speak and stand on Scripture without shame.

    A shameful Christian is a powerless Christian. Jesus promised, “Whoever believes in me…greater works than these shall he do” (John 14:12). But this promise is void if we’re too embarrassed to believe and speak boldly.

   God has not given us a spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7). Be bold. Be unashamed. Only then will the power of God be visible in your life.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and opportunities to preach the gospel with boldness.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome fear .
