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.

8: Dividing Between Soul and Spirit — Zac Poonen — April 20, 2025
Zac Poonen · Apr 25, 2025 · 54m
The speaker advises listeners to emulate the simplicity of a child and the selfless service of a servant to draw closer to God's kingdom. He then delves into the tripartite nature of humanity—spirit, soul, and body—emphasizing that while the mind (soul) and emotions can be stirred, true spirituality requires yielding the will, which acts as the door into the spirit. This yielding is presented as the crucial, practical step for spiritual growth.

7: The Three Floors of the Christian Life — Zac Poonen — April 20, 2025
Zac Poonen · Apr 25, 2025 · 56m
The speaker argues that a truly godly life is inherently exciting, contrasting this with the boredom experienced by many Christians who have compromised in secret areas. He draws parallels between spiritual growth and the steady, unstoppable progression of dawn's light, emphasizing that true growth is continuous and visible. Ultimately, the message urges believers to move beyond merely following religious 'laws' toward living by the Spirit, which removes the veil and allows the likeness of Christ to manifest in one's life.

6: God Humbles Us to Give Us Grace — Zac Poonen — April 19, 2025
Zac Poonen · Apr 25, 2025 · 53m
The speaker uses Paul's experience in the third heaven to illustrate that true spiritual experiences are not something that can be boasted about or shared in detail, as God restricts what is revealed. He then contrasts this with the tendency to share exaggerated testimonies, suggesting such claims are often false. The message emphasizes that God is a God of encouragement, not discouragement, and applies this principle to parenting and church building, where one must recognize the 'perfect fit' God intends.

1: Our Inner Attitudes Are Most Important — Zac Poonen — April 18, 2025
Zac Poonen · Apr 25, 2025 · 1h 3m
The central message warns against intellectual knowledge divorced from true commitment, citing the scribes who knew the law but crucified Christ. The speaker emphasizes that true Christianity requires a willingness to pay a price and stand by the truth, even when it causes offense. He warns that those who seek personal profit, whether in money or honor, will eventually fall away, as the church is meant for sacrifice, not gain.

Trust God Always & Keep His Commands with the Grace He Supplies – Allan & Chetan – April 13, 2025
CFC Messages · Apr 18, 2025 · 16m
The speaker reflects on the teaching that to whom much is given, much will be required, viewing this as a privilege. Drawing from the calming of the storm and the failures of the spies, he urges the audience to maintain unwavering faith in God's power, even when facing uncharted or frightening circumstances. The message concludes with encouragement to trust God's provision, referencing Psalm 23, regardless of surrounding difficulties or personal failings.

The sermon focuses on the boundless nature of God's love, comparing it to the ocean and mighty rivers.

How God's Children Can Mature and Become His Sons — Zac Poonen — April 2, 2025
Zac Poonen · Apr 3, 2025 · 55m
The speaker argues that true spiritual maturity is not measured by knowledge, gifted speaking, or even church attendance, but by a deep, Christ-like inner transformation. He contrasts the Corinthians, who were gifted but spiritually immature, with the calling to be holy and blameless in God's sight, which predates creation. The central message is that maturity involves a thorough, internal alignment of one's entire being with Christ, rather than merely focusing on post-death salvation.

So You Gave Your Heart to Jesus - Now What? -- Santosh Poonen -- March 30, 2025
Santosh Poonen · Mar 30, 2025 · 1h 6m
The speaker emphasizes that the devil is not afraid of human gifts or church activities, but rather whether the church has true authority over sin and darkness. He stresses that the most important thing is that the devil has no foothold in any life within the church, particularly in the homes and marriages of the members. The central call is for parents to pray fervently that every child in the church will be born again and become a wholehearted disciple of Jesus.

Leading Our Children to Christ -- Santosh Poonen -- March 23, 2025
Santosh Poonen · Mar 25, 2025 · 23m
The speaker emphasizes the critical need for parents to consistently discuss the seriousness of sin and the necessity of giving one's life to Jesus with their children. He warns against the extremes of treating conversion as a mere formality or neglecting the conversation entirely. Ultimately, he encourages parents to approach these talks one-on-one, drawing comfort from God's patience, as exemplified by 2 Peter 3:9, which assures that God waits for repentance rather than immediately judging.

Giving God the Best — Ajay Chakravarthy — March 23, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Mar 24, 2025 · 33m
The speaker emphasizes that the greatest revival comes not just from a message, but from God moving mightily in people's hearts. He uses the example of Abel giving the best of his flock to illustrate that our response to God should be to give Him our best. Ultimately, the message urges listeners to recognize that life is a free gift and to choose to dedicate the remaining time of their lives to God, rather than using it all for self-gratification.

The speaker advises Christians to examine their motives when serving others, warning against the 'solish' tendency to volunteer for help merely to gain reputation or satisfaction. True service must be examined by the Word of God to ensure the motivation is pure and not self-serving.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 16, 2025 · 1m 1s
The speaker contrasts 'milk' teaching, which is easily consumed and feels good, with 'solid food' teaching. He argues that many Christians prefer the comforting, easy messages (milk) and become offended when confronted with the challenging, penetrating truths of God's Word. True spiritual growth requires engaging with the difficult material that forces deep introspection and change.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 14, 2025 · 1m 1s
The speaker expresses a deep desire for their single life to be entirely pleasing and useful to God's kingdom, regardless of personal comfort or convenience. The central theme is the willingness to surrender self-will and embrace whatever path God calls, echoing the commitment to take up one's cross daily. This commitment is framed by remembering pivotal moments of divine sacrifice, such as Gethsemane and Calvary.

The speaker challenges the congregation to move beyond mere acknowledgment of the cross, which is often visible in church architecture, and instead embrace the personal commitment to follow Jesus. True discipleship requires actively taking up one's own cross and denying self-will, even when personal desires conflict with pleasing God.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 14, 2025 · 59s
The ability to bear fruit in daily life, even in difficult circumstances, comes not from personal gifting but from the source of God's presence, likened to a river flowing from the sanctuary. God may call believers into 'deserts'—challenging environments like workplaces filled with sin—but if the source is God, they will bring life to those areas. This speaks to the sustaining power of God's presence in ministry and daily living.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 14, 2025 · 1m 1s
True devotion to God is characterized by the alignment of one's inner thoughts, motives, and attitudes with one's spoken words and actions. The speaker emphasizes that this consistency—where words, deeds, and inner devotion match—is the hallmark of the New Covenant Life. This alignment can only be achieved through being filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.

Walking With Jesus Daily & Bearing Fruit Through His Love — Allan D & Chetan C — March 9, 2025
CFC Messages · Mar 14, 2025 · 18m
The speaker reflects on the meaning of 'walking with the Lord,' drawing inspiration from the biblical account of Jesus walking with two disciples on the road to Emmaus. He emphasizes that true spiritual experience is not just in the teaching or the event, but in recognizing the living presence of Christ in daily life. The central message is a call to remain alert to Jesus' presence, ensuring that one's focus remains on the Savior rather than being distracted by the surrounding circumstances or activities.

Show Gratitude for Salvation With Good Deeds (Message to Women) -- Annie Poonen -- February 19, 2025
Annie Poonen · Mar 8, 2025 · 57m
The speaker emphasizes that the foundation for wisdom and a godly life is the fear of the Lord, which means respecting God's word above all else. Regarding good works, the message cautions against hypocrisy, illustrating this with a personal story about marking good deeds. Ultimately, true Christian living means performing good works out of love for God, not to earn favor or receive praise.

Having a Solid Grip in the Christian Life -- Zac Poonen -- March 5, 2025
Zac Poonen · Mar 7, 2025 · 1h 0m
The speaker encourages preachers to repeat foundational truths, noting that God's Spirit is not afraid to repeat what has already been said. This repetition serves to teach new generations and those who have since joined the church. Furthermore, the message emphasizes that true spiritual sustenance comes not from reading scripture once, but from continually hearing and living by every word that proceeds from God's mouth, which requires a sensitive conscience.

To the Praise of His Glory & We Are Strangers on the Earth -- Olu T. and David L. -- March 5, 2025
CFC Messages · Mar 7, 2025 · 16m
The central message is that believers must maintain the mindset of being strangers on earth, recognizing that this world is temporary. The speaker uses examples from scripture, such as Abraham and David, to illustrate that true focus should be on the eternal city prepared by God, rather than earthly possessions or worldly events. Ultimately, the focus must remain on Jesus Christ as the only true King, ensuring that all actions and thoughts are for God's glory.

Longing to Live in God’s Presence Always — Ajay Chakravarthy — February 23, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Feb 23, 2025 · 33m
The speaker argues that true discipleship requires a constant longing for God's presence, mirroring Jesus' desire to always be with the Father. He uses biblical examples, such as Adam and Eve and the offering in Malachi, to illustrate that actions performed when no one is watching reveal one's true heart. Ultimately, the message challenges listeners to live as if God is always watching, ensuring their devotion is genuine and constant.
