August 4 | Daily Devotion | The Mark Of New Covenant Blessing Is Not Wealth And Health | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · 11m · CFC Daily Devotions
True blessing under the New Covenant is not measured by material wealth and health, but by spiritual transformation and union with Christ. The mark of God's blessing is internal holiness and a clear vision of Christ, not external prosperity.

March 8 | Daily Devotion | Long For The Word Of God | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 7, 2024 · 14m
The core message emphasizes that true grace requires completely putting aside all malice, hatred, guile, and hypocrisy, testing one's heart by considering what one wishes for those who have harmed them. The speaker stresses that genuine new birth is evidenced by a deep longing for God's Word, comparing this desire to a newborn baby crying for milk. He warns against superficial Christianity and encourages believers to live in a constant state of repentance.

February 28 | Daily Devotion | A Reverential Fear Of God | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 27, 2024 · 14m
The central message emphasizes the necessity of living with a reverential fear of God, contrasting it with the fear that leads to slavery or the misguided understanding of God's love. The speaker argues that true Christian life requires being holy and not conforming to former lusts, warning that failing to fear God leads to spiritual delusion and a lack of true freedom found in the New Covenant.

February 27 | Daily Devotion | Proof Of Being In Christ's Household | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 26, 2024 · 13m
The central message is that true membership in the household of God requires self-judgment, meaning one must first judge their own sin rather than judging others. The speaker emphasizes that the New Covenant is fundamentally about freedom from sin, and achieving this requires developing a deep, revulsive hatred for iniquity and a love for righteousness. This self-examination is presented as the path to not being judged at the judgment seat of Christ.

February 25 | Daily Devotion | God Is Always Silently Planning In Love For You | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 24, 2024 · 17m
God's plan for our lives is always executed in love, meaning every trial serves a purpose leading to promotion, as seen in Psalm 23. To hear God's plan, one must maintain a clear conscience by confessing sins and forgiving others immediately. Furthermore, we must trust that God works silently, even when we cannot perceive His direct voice.

February 19 | Daily Devotion | No Root Of Bitterness In Our Hearts | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 18, 2024 · 9m
The message emphasizes the necessity of pursuing peace with all people and achieving sanctification, as these are prerequisites for seeing the Lord. The speaker stresses that true forgiveness must come from the heart, going beyond mere outward acts of reconciliation. He warns against harboring any root of bitterness, advising that one must actively choose to wish good for others, even when remembering past hurts, as this bitterness can defile both the individual and others.

January 30 | Daily Devotion | The Danger Of Addictions | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 29, 2024 · 10m
The message warns against the dangers of all forms of addiction, using the Fall in Eden as an analogy for how seemingly good desires (food, sex, knowledge) can lead to sin. The speaker emphasizes that addiction, whether to food, sex, or pornography, follows a 'law of diminishing returns,' trapping the individual in a cycle of craving more. Ultimately, the message stresses that one must take radical, immediate steps to break free, as God will not stop a person from making destructive choices.

January 22 | Daily Devotion | Don't Let Regret Over Your Past Hold You Back | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 21, 2024 · 17m
The speaker addresses the tendency to dwell on past failures, comparing it to a 'thorn in the flesh' that God allows to remain for humility. While God blots out sins through Christ's blood, the memory of past mistakes remains to prevent repetition and maintain humility. Instead of self-punishment, one must actively choose not to live in regret, allowing the memory to spur one toward greater spiritual progress.

January 21 | Daily Devotion | Learn To Take The Blame | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 20, 2024 · 14m
The message urges listeners to move forward by forgetting past achievements and failures, warning against both pride in successes and regret over mistakes. The central theme is taking personal responsibility for sin, contrasting Adam's tendency to blame others with Christ's willingness to take the blame for sin on the cross. True discipleship requires confessing one's own sin without pointing fingers at others.
