HIS VOICE DAILY DEVOTIONAL
FRIDAY, 3RD FEBRUARY 2023
TOPIC: WHO IS GOD III
TEXT: HABAKKUK 2:4
Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. KJV
Prophet Habakkuk forsaw the vision of God as the one who justifies a man by his faith in him. To capture the beauty of his prophecy let's read from Habakkuk 2:1-4:
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. KJV
The prophet Habakkuk was instructed to write the vision and make it plain, that he who reads it may run. For the vision is for an appointed time, it will surely come to pass and not tarry. What is the vision which was written? It will surprise you to realise that the vision upholds the truth about the just who is to live by his faith. There is no other revelation where we saw God as the just and justifier of man aside from the gospel of our lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, we can safely affirm that the vision is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Romans 1:16-17 defined the Gospel of Jesus Christ as spoken by Apostle Paul;
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. KJV
In the gospel, is the power of God unto salvation. In the gospel is the righteousness of God revealed which is from faith to faith to fulfil that which is written by prophet Habakkuk The just shall live by faith"
Are you now convinced that the vision written down, which will surely come to pass and will not tarry be the Gospel? God is the God of our Lord Jesus Christ. The God of the gospel of faith in Christ Jesus. The one who become the just and justifier of any man who believes in Christ death and resurrection (Romans 3:26). He is God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. The God of resurrection and life. Hallelujah! Have you met with this God, in whom lies your justification to life? Pray with me
PRAYER
Today, I receive the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and believe that he died for my sins and was raised from the dead for my life. I am forgiven and saved eternally. Amen
