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.

February 23 | Daily Devotion | The Overcoming Life In The New Covenant | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 22, 2025 · 12m
The message discusses the struggle between the law of sin in the flesh and the desire to live a holy life, drawing from Romans 7. The central message is that while believers are not free from sin, they can overcome it through the mind's determination to follow God's law. Furthermore, the speaker warns against the 'no entry roads' of self-condemnation and discouragement, emphasizing that Christian growth is a process requiring active cooperation with the Holy Spirit, as detailed in Philippians 2:12.

February 22 | Daily Devotion | Learn To Forgive Others Instantly | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 21, 2025 · 10m
The central message emphasizes the necessity of instant and complete forgiveness, drawing parallels from Jesus' teaching on forgiving those who speak against the Son of Man. The speaker advises believers to be quick to ask and grant forgiveness, treating unforgiveness as a far greater sin than minor physical ailments. Ultimately, forgiveness is presented as imitating God, who forgives us repeatedly, and this practice is key to freedom from condemnation.

February 21 | Daily Devotion | Is Your Foundation Strong? | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 20, 2025 · 12m
The central message emphasizes that a strong Christian life requires a proper foundation built on both repentance and faith, not just belief in Christ. The speaker stresses that true repentance is a complete 180-degree turn away from sin, and that Christian life, like marriage, demands 100% commitment. Furthermore, he highlights that receiving God's forgiveness requires the believer to actively forgive others, citing Matthew 6:14-15 as a crucial condition.

Zac Poonen · Feb 19, 2025 · 10m
The central message emphasizes that preaching the Gospel requires a life that matches the teaching, warning against hypocrisy where outward appearance masks inner sin. The speaker stresses that a complete Christian life requires both repentance (turning from sin) and faith (dependence on Christ), comparing them to two necessary wires that must connect for the light of salvation to shine.

Zac Poonen - Characteristics of a Man Who Fears God
Zac Poonen · Feb 17, 2025 · 16m
Zac Poonen teaches that the fear of God coupled with humility produces lasting riches, honor, and life—demonstrated through the example of Job, who maintained reverence for God in his private life, exercised strict discipline over his eyes and thoughts, and treated those beneath him with respect. True fear of God means being acutely aware of God's presence in every moment and action, leading to victory over sin and a character so transformed that Jesus would boast about that person to Satan.

February 18 | Daily Devotion | Honor And Respect Parents And Older People | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 17, 2025 · 13m
The central message emphasizes the biblical command to honor and obey parents and older people, arguing that this respect is crucial for a life that goes well. The speaker draws parallels between this respect and following Jesus' example of submission to authority, suggesting that a lack of respect for elders is a sign of the end times. He concludes by encouraging listeners to learn from submission, even in seemingly boring or difficult circumstances.

February 17 | Daily Devotion | Begin Your Christian Life Where Jesus Began | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 16, 2025 · 12m
The central message is that true Christian living begins by imitating Jesus's life, which involved submitting to imperfect human authority. The speaker emphasizes that submission to God-appointed authority is a crucial, often difficult, lesson in discipleship. He assures listeners that if they are wholehearted disciples, God will never test them beyond their ability, and all things will ultimately work for their good.

Zac Poonen · Feb 15, 2025 · 8m
The message encourages listeners to follow Jesus by imitating His life, rather than focusing on ministry achievements.

True discipleship is rooted in living according to Christ's example.

February 15 | Daily Devotion | Follow A Godly Man As He Follows Christ | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 14, 2025 · 11m
The message encourages listeners to imitate Paul's wholehearted devotion to Christ, contrasting this with the boasting of false apostles and deceitful workers. Paul's true boasting is not in his accomplishments, but in his willingness to endure extreme suffering, danger, and constant concern for the global church. The central message is that true discipleship is demonstrated through sacrificial living, not mere words or visible achievements.

February 14 | Daily Devotion | Being More Than Doing | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 13, 2025 · 8m
The central message is that one's inherent being and character before God are more important than the amount of religious service or accomplishments one performs. Drawing from Acts 1:1, the speaker emphasizes that Jesus' ministry involved first *being* and then *doing* and *teaching*. Therefore, Christian life should flow from one's inner life and conduct at home, as this is where Jesus desires to live through believers.

February 13 | Daily Devotion | God Will Bring You To A Place Of Abundance | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 12, 2025 · 10m
The central message is that God uses difficult trials and testing to build us into overcomers through His grace. The speaker emphasizes that God will never test us beyond our ability, comparing this to steam pressure in a boiler room. True victory comes not from blaming others, but from acknowledging that God orchestrated the difficult circumstances, leading ultimately to a place of abundance. Believers are encouraged to draw near to the throne of grace to receive mercy and rely on God's sufficient grace through brokenness and humility.

February 12 | Daily Devotion | God Will Make A Way Of Escape Through Grace | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 11, 2025 · 10m
The central message is that God's grace is sufficient to overcome sin and endure life's trials, unlike trying to conquer sin through sheer willpower under the law. The speaker emphasizes that true strength comes from accepting God's grace, which is like the power of electricity, allowing us to run for hours where our own efforts would fail. He concludes by citing 1 Corinthians 10:13, assuring that God will never allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear, always providing a way of escape through grace.

February 11 | Daily Devotion | God Will Exalt You At The Proper Time | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 10, 2025 · 10m
The central message is that God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble, making grace the source of our overcoming power. The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual strength comes not from quoting scripture or asserting titles, but from deep humility before God. He advises believers to embrace difficult circumstances as the 'mighty hand of God' to be broken down, knowing that God will exalt them at the proper time, specifically over sin and Satan, not over worldly achievements.

Zac Poonen - Important First Steps for Our Children
Zac Poonen · Feb 10, 2025 · 22m
Zac Poonen teaches that the foundational steps in raising children are teaching them obedience to parents, truthfulness, asking forgiveness, and thankfulness—beginning with these basics before addressing other spiritual matters. He emphasizes that children are born with a sinful nature and deceptive tendencies from infancy, requiring parents to consistently reinforce these core virtues through repetition, modeling, and early exposure to God's truth so they develop a clear conscience and can hear God's voice.

February 10 | Daily Devotion | God's Power Is Made Perfect In Our Weakness | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 9, 2025 · 9m
The central message is that God's grace is sufficient for every situation, and His power is perfected in human weakness. The speaker emphasizes that true confidence comes not from self-sufficiency, but from trusting in God's grace, which requires us to allow ourselves to be broken by life's circumstances. This process of being weakened is necessary for God to manifest His power through us, as exemplified by the Apostle Paul.

9th Feb 2025 - Yielding Our Body And Its Passions Fully To The Lord - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 9, 2025 · 1h 16m
Zac Poonen teaches on yielding our body and its passions fully to the Lord by drawing parallels between Israel's exodus from Egypt and the Christian's journey to victory over sin. Using 1 Corinthians 10 and Hebrews 3-4, he explains that baptism and the Holy Spirit's baptism are meant to lead believers from slavery to sin (Egypt) into a life of complete victory over fleshly lusts (Canaan), not mere wandering in the wilderness of defeat.

February 9 | Daily Devotion | Claim God's Magnificent Promises By Fulfilling The Conditions
Zac Poonen · Feb 8, 2025 · 12m
The sermon emphasizes that while some blessings from God are unconditional, many significant promises, including forgiveness and participation in the divine nature, are conditional. The key condition highlighted is repentance and faith, illustrated by the need to hear and follow Jesus' voice. The speaker stresses that true cleansing from sin comes from walking in God's light, which means taking full responsibility for one's own sin rather than blaming others.

February 8 | Daily Devotion | What It Means To Be Truly Spiritual | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 7, 2025 · 10m
True spirituality requires the Word of God to penetrate beyond mere thought and feeling, sinking deep into the spirit. The speaker explains that the Bible divides humanity into body, soul (mind and feelings), and spirit, and true growth happens when the Word compels us to deny our own will. This daily process of taking up the cross—responding to life's challenges by choosing Christ's will over our own desires—is what allows the seed of the Word to take root deeply, like building on the rock.

February 7 | Daily Devotion | God's Grace Is Sufficient For Me | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 6, 2025 · 9m
The central message is that God's grace is sufficient for every situation we face, drawing from 2 Corinthians 12:9. The speaker uses an illustration of a boat hitting a hidden rock to explain that God doesn't always remove the difficulty, but rather raises the level of His grace so we can overcome it. He cautions against focusing on physical healing or prosperity, urging instead that we trust in God's grace to help us overcome our current circumstances, no matter how difficult they seem.

You Can Begin Now To Live As Jesus Lived - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 6, 2025 · 1h 3m
The central message is that one's being—the character and life lived—is more important to God than what one does for Him. Drawing from Acts 1:1, the speaker emphasizes that Jesus' ministry was characterized by what He *was* before what He *did*. Believers are called to live a life that reflects Christ's character first, allowing that life to naturally lead to service, rather than becoming hypocritical by focusing only on visible accomplishments.

Zac Poonen · Feb 5, 2025 · 9m
The message centers on the promise from 1 Corinthians 10:13, assuring believers that God will never allow them to face a temptation or test beyond their ability to bear. The speaker emphasizes that endurance comes not from personal strength, but from God's faithfulness and preparation.

February 5 | Daily Devotion | Jesus Will Save Me From All My Sins | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 4, 2025 · 10m
The central message is that believers are saved from sin through the merit of Jesus Christ, not by their own efforts or adherence to law. The speaker emphasizes that claiming this promise means trusting Jesus to give the power to overcome specific sins like anger, lust, and bitterness. True Christian life involves becoming an overcomer by fixing one's focus solely on Jesus, mirroring Peter's experience walking on water.
