PROCESSING THE WORD

 


June 2.

“On the third day they found him (Jesus) in the Temple, sitting with the Jewish teachers, listening to them and asking questions.” Luke 2:46 GNT

Can you remember when you were in school? How did you learn the different subjects? You did what Jesus did: sat with the teachers, spoke and asked questions. You were either given some homework to see if you understood the application of the principle taught. To become good at any subject, you revised it during prep time. The more we study, the better we become at the subject or the more proficient we get at the job. I have friends who choose to go to school in their senior years putting in so much effort into studying yet the same people only stay with expositions from pastors or in devotionals when it comes to Christianity and the word of God.

To know the word, you must hear it and see it to handle it. Hearing is easy and straight. If you like what you hear, then there is a process to see it. Let's go through the way to see scripture.

You take the scripture and keep it on your lips as often as you can. Speak it to yourself until it gets into your heart. When it gets into your heart, then it becomes your reasoning pattern. Let us take this scripture as an example. Take Psalm 107:17-20 on healing. After reading the condition of the Israelites and what they did when they were sick, He sent His word and healed them (20). I kept saying that to myself several times for several days until I saw my health and healing in the word of Scripture. He sends His word every time and I am healed.

Let us pray: Thank you father that your word heals. Help me to hear your healing word in Jesus name.

For further study: 2 Timothy 3:16-17

YOU ARE A CHILD OF PROMISE

   MAY 1.       Acts: 1: 4-5   The days are going so quickly, I remember that Christmas was celebrated not too long ago and here we are celebrating Good Friday and Easter, the most important days in the Church calendar.   The celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ in this season is purposeful and it is from everlasting to everlasting. Some questions come to my mind, what if our Lord Jesus gave up on his disciples who had betrayed and denied him? What if our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and decided to take a holiday from the stressful life he had been through? What if he did not leave us the Holy Spirit, our Comforter? The questions are endless and we sure do not have any answers to all of them and many more. We are the reason why our Lord Jesus Christ did not stop to take a rest and did not deny us, forgiving the thief on the cross.   Today we begin to see the enormity of the work our Lord Jesus Christ did for us, from the cross to...

WHO IS GOD TO YOU

  MAY 2.     Deuteronomy 6:4 Our God is an Amazing, Awesome God, The Creator of Heaven and the Earth, There is no one like Him, none to compare with Him, yes He is a perfect God. He is greater than all that he created, unlimited in nature, infinite and he is the God in three persons.   As you are dressed up to go out of your home, you are attired in all that God created including you yourself. Your clothes are made from cotton, silk, your shoes are made from animal skin, your perfume comes from natural oils, your jewellery comes from metals that are found in layers of soil. As you stand, there is nothing on you that was originally made by you.   All of these products were created by God before He created man and gave man dominion over all that He created. - 1 Corinthians 8:6.   Psalm 14 vs 1 AMP says, “The (spiritually) ignorant says in his heart that There is no God!!”   What do we say to that? Question who is God to you? He is the crea...

HOPE IN THE WORLD

Image
  MAY 3.      Romans:5: 4-5   Hope is not wishful thinking; hope is like making a long wish-list and waiting in great anticipation for each of the things you wished for to come through. You will find yourself marking off all the ones that God has answered.   On who are you hinging your hope on? My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness; this is the line of a very popular hymn that we all know. Is it true for you, can you let go and know that He who you hope on will not disappoint you. The faith that our hope has in God is the hope that does not disappoint, it transforms our suffering into endurance and our expectations into joy. This is the hope that all faithful believers enjoy, they have peace with God and they feel very secured. This brings the Christ-like character and the absolute abundant grace in our daily living.   Let Us Pray: Heavenly Father we ask to be filled with joy and peace as we are hopeful of yo...
