YOUR WORD INSTRUCTS GOD


June 8. 

So tell them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord, I will do to you the very thing I heard you say: Numbers 14:28 NIV

I watched a video clip from one of the social media platforms. A teacher was canning a student for bad behaviour. After the first stroke of the cane, the student was sighing, crying and not stretching out his hand for more. Then the teacher said “give me your hand or you want to cane me?" The boy didn't reply then the teacher said “take the cane and flog me the way you are looking at me." He stretched the cane to the boy and the boy took it and flogged him twice. The teacher ran out sighing.

Funny story but tells us what the word does. If you speak a word, you must expect its fruit. Even God had to tell Moses that He would do to the children of Israel what they had said to His hearing. This shows that whatever God hears from you regularly or emphatically, He gives to you. So whatever word you sow into God He does for you.

Let us take finances for example. When you are short of money, for the sake of telling the truth, you describe yourself as broke and keep saying ‘I have no money to do so and so.’ Instead of saying something like my needs are provided by God or He who feeds the bird of the air provides for me. When you keep this on your lips even when lack bites tough, God will give you what you are professing. What do you keep in your mouth at all times?

Let us pray: Father, I thank You that You give me what I consistently ask of you according to Your word. Keep me steady in my pronouncements in Jesus name.

For further study: Mark 10:46-52

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...
