    HOW TO GET WISDOM (3): THE FEAR OF THE LORD

    The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
    Proverbs 9:10 (KJV)

    The fear of the Lord is the foundation for everything that is coming down from heaven. Every other gift from the Lord apart from Salvation is a function of the fear of the Lord. Salvation brings you to the fear of the Lord. Even though at Salvation, you are holy, made a holy priesthood, however, the matter of the fear of the Lord is a choice every believer must make. Proverbs 1:29 says, ‘For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:’ Until you make the choice for the fear of the Lord in your life, you don’t have a chance with this Wisdom that turns the mountains by the roots. We saw a valid example in Daniel. The Wisdom that Yahweh gave Daniel was on the altar of the fear of the Lord when Daniel made a solid choice out of the fear of the Lord not to defile himself. Daniel 1:8 says, “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.” What was the result of the fear of the Lord in the life of Daniel? “As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.” (Daniel 1:17). The fear of the Lord is the foundation for Wisdom. You want to flow in this Wisdom from above? Then you must make the choice for the Fear of the Lord today.

    Another solid example of the fear of the Lord that brought about divine Wisdom was the man Joseph. Genesis 42:18 says, ‘And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:’ What was the result of the fear of the Lord in the life of Joseph? Genesis 41:39 says, ‘And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:’ The fear of the Lord our opening texts says, is the beginning of Wisdom. If Wisdom never began in your life, what is your hope of ever functioning in Wisdom? Divine Wisdom starts in and with the Fear of the Lord.

    The Fear of the Lord is reverence for Yahweh. It is deep seated love and awe of the Lord upon your spirit, soul and body. The Fear of the Lord is coming to the point of living your life because of the Lord. It is coming to the point of living for the whole purpose of pleasing the Lord. The Fear of the Lord is living for the pleasure of the Lord in words and deeds. The Fear of the Lord is commitment to doing the Word no matter what. The Fear of the Lord is not a gift of the Spirit. So, beloved, you are not disadvantaged at all. The fear of the Lord is a choice. Also the fear of the Lord is taught by the Word. Psalms 34:11 says, “Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.” The Lord Yahushua says in Matthew 11:29 that we should come and learn of Him. The teachings of the Word is what imparts the fear of the Lord which activates the Wisdom of Yahweh in your life. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Divine Wisdom.

    CONFESSION: Lord Yahushua, pleasing You is my greatest ambition. I am committed to doing Your Word no matter what it costs me. I function in Wisdom in all my ways! Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree your deliverance now from any area where iniquity is holding you to ransom in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO GET WISDOM (2): BY THE WORD

    HOW TO GET WISDOM (2): BY THE WORD

    The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
    Psalms 19:7 (KJV)

    The spiritual environment that you must be to get this Wisdom is in HaMashiach. That means that you must be properly genuinely saved. Without this platform, this Wisdom would be an elusive desire in the life of anyone. The best you can get is human wisdom. This Wisdom that comes from above is only accessible to those dwelling in the heavenly places. As a born again person, you are dwelling in the heavenly places in HaMashiach (see Ephesians 1:20; 2:5-6). The Word of the Lord is foolishness to the unregenerated person. This Wisdom from above is stirred by learning the Word of the Lord. That is to say that you have no chance in this Wisdom if you are not in the Word. It is the Word of the Law that stirs the deposit of this Wisdom. Our opening text says that the Word makes wise the simple. The simple here is the person that is seducible. The simple here is the person that is silly; that can be attracted or lead away from proper behaviour or thinking. Everybody that is not born again has fallen into the seduction of the devil and it takes new birth and schooling in the Word to stir the Wisdom from above in the life of anybody. There is a life of Wisdom in your spirit-man but it takes seating down at the feet of the Lord Yahushua who is the Word to stir it. This is because the mind is the channel of manifesting this Wisdom.

    Romans 12:2 says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Until you renew your mind with the Word, you cannot function in this Wisdom. This Wisdom from above is the key to living as a principality on earth. A life of success and dominion is not possible outside this Wisdom. However, to stir this wisdom, you must engage the Word. This is why Joshua was instructed that ‘This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.’ (Joshua 1:8). As you stay in the Word, your mind is renewed, thereby being able to discern the right from the wrong.

    Proverbs 2:6 says, ‘For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.’ Your encounter with this Wisdom is always tied to the Word. Out of His mouth comes understanding. Until you understand the Word, you cannot do it and Wisdom is doing the Word. Deuteronomy 4:6 says, ‘Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ Develop a Word program for yourself and be diligent to it. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: Until your mind is renewed by the Word, you cannot function in Wisdom.

    CONFESSION: I am a word-addict. The Word is the highest thing I value on earth and am glad that it is stirring me up in Wisdom and causing me to function as a principality everywhere I go. Halleluyah!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Every inhibition that is standing on your path to the Word is cursed from its root now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO GET WISDOM (1): BY SALVATION

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday, May 3, 2024

    HOW TO GET WISDOM (1): BY SALVATION

    Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
    Acts 4:12 [KJV]

    As we have already established that the Spirit of HaMashiach is the Spirit of Wisdom. That follows that until we come to HaMashiach to be saved, we cannot have access to this Wisdom. In the Old Testament, this Wisdom came by divine impartation for special assignment. That is the case with Bezaleel. Exodus 28:3 says, ‘And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.’ Exodus 31:2-3 says, ‘2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: 3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,’ The Spirit of Wisdom came upon people to help them function in certain offices and perform certain assignment for the Lord. In the New Testament, the reality which is Yahushua has come. John 1:17 says, “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” We are no longer in the shadows. Now, the Spirit of Wisdom is open to whosoever desire it. James 1:5 says, ‘If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not? and it shall be given him.’ However, our first access to the Spirit of HaMashiach is at new birth. It is at new birth that the Holy Spirit comes into the life of the believer and recreates his spirit. If you have not accepted the Lordship of the Lord Yahushua, you cannot receive the Spirit of Wisdom. Wisdom is one of the seven-fold manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

    Wisdom can only operate in the environment of the new creation. The mind of sin can never understand nor accept the ways of this Wisdom. “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men? and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” (I Corinthians 1:25). The mind of the unregenerated person sees the ways of this Wisdom as foolishness. Until you come into HaMashiach, you can never comprehend this Wisdom. The ways of this Wisdom operate in the highest pedestal of comprehension. The scribes and learned people of this world sees it as foolishness. It actually operates on a pedestal that their little minds cannot apprehend. The mind of the unregenerated person is blind. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 says, “3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

    If you ever think that accepting Yahushua HaMashiach is something for the ignorant, then please understand that it is because there is a spiritual blindness on you by the activities of your arch enemy Satan who is the god of this world. For you to be free from his clutches, you must come into the glorious light of the Lord Yahushua and if you have not done so, please pray the prayer with all your heart and please reach out to us for assistance.

    REMEMBER: Until you are saved, you cannot receive this Wisdom.

    PRAYER: Dear Father, I repent of my sins and believe in Yahushua HaMashiach that He came, died for my sins and rose again to give me life. Now, I confess that Yahushua HaMashiach is Lord and Saviour of my life. Lord Yahushua I surrender my heart to You today and forever. Through You Lord and in Your name I have eternal life; I am born again. Thank You Lord for saving my soul. Now I am a child of Yahweh. Praise the Lord! Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: By Wisdom, begin to experience mighty things that will make people marvel in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • MEET WISDOM

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday May 2, 2024

    MEET WISDOM

    But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
    I Corinthians 1:24 [KJV]

    In Genesis 1:26 we saw the Father saying “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:” That scripture introduced the blessed Trinity. John 1:1-3 says, “1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him? and without him was not any thing made that was made.” That showed us that the second person of the Trinity is the person known as the Word. Genesis 1:2 says, ‘And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.’ We saw the third person of the Blessed Trinity called the Spirit of Yahweh. Beloved, just follow me, we are trying to meet Wisdom. Proverbs 8:22-31 showed us that Wisdom was at the Creation. Even before creation, he was right there. However, we have seen that it was only the Holy Trinity that was there at creation. This shows us that the Word is Wisdom. Apostle John told us that by the Word all things were made (see John 1:3). Psalms 104:24 says, “O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.” Collaborating what Proverbs 8:22-31 said that Wisdom was there at creation. We can state authoritative by these scriptures that the Word of Yahweh is the Wisdom of Yahweh.

    At the due time, the Word metamorphosed and dwelt with men. Apostle John was trying to let us know how the Word became the Saviour Yahushua HaMashiach. John 1:14 says, ‘And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.’ The Word by which all things were made became flesh (human) and dwelt among people. The Lord Yahushua was this Word that was made flesh. Remember, the Word that was made flesh was the same Wisdom that made the World. He manifested in the flesh and He is Yahushua of Nazareth. When He began His ministry on earth, it was said of Him in Mark 6:2 “… and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?” He manifested in Wisdom that evoked awe before His contemporaries. Wisdom also shows himself in mighty works and that was the case of the Lord Yahushua. As a little lad, He reasoned with teachers of the law and they “were astonished at his understanding and answers.” (see Luke 2:47).

    “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.” (John 12:24). So, the Saviour has to die so that He could bring forth sons to glory. As He resurrected, He gave those that believe eternal life. Embedded in this eternal life is Wisdom. So, as a believer, you have this Wisdom in you. The Holy Spirit that recreated us at new birth is called the Spirit of Wisdom (see Exodus 28:3). Selah!

    REMEMBER: The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Wisdom and is in you if you are born again.

    CONFESSION: I am a new creation in Yahushua HaMashiach. His Spirit has come alive in me in all Wisdom and spiritual understanding. I function by Wisdom in all I do, praise the Lord!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Welcome to the month of mighty works by the Wisdom of Yahweh. This month, I see someone rescued from the clutches of foolishness and behaviours that are contrary to your destiny in the precious name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR MAY 2024

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday May 1, 2024

    PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR MAY 2024

    Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
    Colossians 4:5 [KJV]

    Happy New Month Beloved! Welcome to the fifth month of the year of Triumph 2024. We believe you had the best of time in the Lord’s presence using the #WordForTodayDevotional daily in the month of April. We appreciate the Lord for giving the Word daily. The feedbacks are amazing of the impact in the lives of the people. The monthly edition has become a reference to many pastors on the theme covered. We return all the glory to the Lord Yahushua for all these. The month of April was the month of the Holy Spirit where we explored the supernatural. We began by looking at who the Holy Spirit is, His Mission in the life of the believer, who He is, and what He does. We saw that new birth was our first encounter with the Holy Spirit; followed by a baptism of power for service with the evidence of speaking in tongues. We explored how to operate in the supernatural and concluded with an introduction into the supernatural operation of the gifts of the Spirit. By all means, we believe that you are equipped to function in the supernatural. Intimacy with the Holy Spirit is the secret of sweat-less triumphs in life. You must also understand that the purpose for this devotional is not just information, it is transformation. But transformation only comes by applying yourself to the information you have received. James 1:22-25 says it this way, verse 22 “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” Please read through verse 25. I see your transformation visible for all to see in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    “There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen: The lion’s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.” This force “putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.” (see Job 28:7-9). This force makes men wonders among men. This force begins to dig deep into questions like: Why am I here? What am I here to do? Where am I going? Am I fulfilling why I am here or doing something else? What are my action steps to getting to where I am going? When one begins to answer these questions, then real living starts. So many are around but they are not living. You have been called into a life in HaMashiach that should be envied. HaMashiach has been made unto you the wisdom and power of Yahweh. Until you operate in Wisdom, you cannot maximum the life of HaMashiach in you. Wisdom is this force that overturns the mountains by the roots. Wisdom is the principal thing that makes principalities of people on earth. Fortunately for you, Wisdom came with the life of HaMashiach that is imparted to your spirit at new birth. So, you are not in any way disadvantaged.

    Our prophetic focus for the Month of May 2024 therefore, is “I AM WALKING IN WISDOM AND REDEEMING THE TIME, AS I EXIST IN TRIUMPH” (Colossians 4:5). The month of May is our month of Wisdom, Purpose, Vision and Plans. We are going to explore what Wisdom holds for the believer and how to activate and walk in wisdom. When Wisdom is in operation, one will be apt to know the Purpose of Yahweh for bringing him/her. Wisdom is the platform for purpose, vision and plans. The foolish has no such inclination. Until Purpose is known, abuse is inevitable according to Myles Munroe. Life will end up a frustration without vision. Then, plans help you from where you are now to where you are going. All these are products of wisdom. This is the life we have received in HaMashiach. A life of Wisdom, that makes us principal people on earth, with purpose, on a visionary mission and pursuing with all the precision of a plan. Nothing left to chance at all. Get set to align with destiny this month. Nothing happens by chance. Whatever that is left to chance will never have a chance. You should be reigning because you are a royal priesthood but you cannot reign until you begin to consciously engage the Wisdom of Yahweh that you have in your spirit at new birth. Welcome to your season of purpose, vision, plan and pursuit. Shalom!

    Happy New Month!

    REMEMBER: I Am Walking In Wisdom And Redeeming The Time, As I Exist In Triumph.

    THANKSGIVING: Dear Father, thank You for the privilege of life, sound mind and body, of seeing a brand new month. Thank You for sending Yahushua HaMashiach to pay the price for my sins and for the privilege of Your presence in my life by the Holy Spirit. Thank You for all You did for us in the month of April. Thank You for the Person and Presence of the Holy Spirit in my life. Thank You for bringing me into the supernatural dimension of operation. Thank You for what you are set to do in me and for me this new month. To You alone be all the glory in the precious name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that this month of May shall not see your end but you shall see its end. In this month of May, there is be a fresh release upon you of the fountain of Wisdom. I decree no evil news shall be heard in your life, family and job/business. This month, the heavens open over you and your family for a turnaround your world cannot deny. This month, every agenda of evil against you is shattered now. You shall only walk in success, increase, favour, supernatural possibilities and triumphs on every side you turn. No man shall be able to stand against you and your progress all the days of this month. Testimonies shall be your daily bread this month and celebration unending shall be in your house. Receive an activation of the Wisdom of Yahweh in you this month in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen.

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (2): THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday, April 22, 2024

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (2): THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE

    … to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit?
    I Corinthians 12:8 (KJV)

    We are encouraged to desire earnestly the best gifts (see I Corinthians 12:31). However, it is also important that we understand that these gifts are in manifestation according to the will of the Holy Spirit. So, you cannot force the manifestation of any of them. The one that you may want to manifest may not be the will of the Spirit for you. He sees the heart and knows the motive why you are asking for a particular gift and if that motive does not glorify the Lord Yahushua, He may never allow that gift to flow through you. Just remain in the Spirit, wholly committed to Him and as He deems fit, the manifestations of the gifts will come. Today, let us look at the gift of the Word of Knowledge. Just as we said yesterday, it is the gift of the Word of Knowledge and not the gift of Knowledge. There is a difference. In fact, there is no such thing as the spiritual gift of knowledge. There is however, a spiritual gift called the Word of Knowledge. The word of knowledge is the supernatural revelation by the Holy Ghost of certain facts in the mind of Yahweh. Yahweh is all-knowing. He knows everything. But He doesn’t reveal everything He knows to man. He just gives him a word or a part of what He knows. A word is a fragmentary part of a sentence, so a word of knowledge would simply be a fragmentary part of the entire knowledge or counsel of Yahweh. Yahweh is all-knowing. He has all knowledge. But He doesn’t impart all of His knowledge to us; He imparts a word of knowledge to us — just what He wants us to know at a given time.

    The gift of the Word of Knowledge is a supernatural manifestation as are all of these gifts of the Spirit. The gift of the Word of Knowledge is not natural knowledge but is supernatural knowledge. It is supernatural revelation of certain facts in the mind of Yahweh. It is the Father bringing to your knowledge the things that has happened or that is happening in order to help you take certain actions. The Word of Knowledge is not a profound knowledge of the Bible. It is certainly true that Yahweh will help us understand His Word, but that is not a supernatural gift. A profound knowledge of the Bible comes by studying, but the Word of knowledge comes by a supernatural revelation. The Word of Knowledge is not knowledge of Yahweh gained through close communion with Him. One does gain a real knowledge of Yahweh walking with Him, but that is different from a supernatural impartation of the knowledge of certain facts in the mind of Yahweh.

    Your duty in these spiritual gifts is to remain spiritual and in the Bible. If you are close enough and your motives are pure, the Holy Spirit can deem it fit to manifest the Word of Knowledge through you to the glory of the Lord Yahushua. Desire them but leave the manifestation to the Holy Spirit. Selah!

    REMEMBER: The Word of Knowledge is the Lord giving you the knowledge of past event or current happening to help you take certain actions.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to maintain connection always with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive according to His will at anytime in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I see your access into this spiritual gifts opened now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (1): THE WORD OF WISDOM

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (1): THE WORD OF WISDOM

    For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom?
    I Corinthians 12:8a (KJV)

    The gifts of the Holy Spirit are given as He wills. It is not within the will of the believer to manifest any gift because the manifestation is according to the will of Yahweh by His Spirit. Today, let us look at the gift of the Word of Wisdom. The first thing to know is that it is not the gift of Wisdom. It is the gift of the Word of Wisdom, there is a difference. The gifts of the Spirit are given supernaturally. It is never a function of natural wisdom. Another important fact is that the Lord is the all wise God and the only wise God (see I Timothy 1:17) but He only reveals a part of it to man – that which He wants him to know at a given time. So, this is Yahweh sharing a word of wisdom with you at a given time according to His will. The Word of Wisdom Is Not Wisdom in the Affairs of Life. The word of wisdom is confused many times with simple wisdom in the affairs of life, but simple wisdom in the affairs of life is not a spiritual gift. In the beginning of Joshua’s ministry, Yahweh told him that the key to his success would lie in meditating on the Word of Yahweh, and that is how Joshua was to obtain wisdom in the affairs of life (see Joshua 1:8). There is a wisdom that is gained through the knowledge of Yahweh’s Word but that is not the supernatural manifestation of the gift of the Word of Wisdom.

    The word of wisdom is a supernatural revelation by the Spirit of Yahweh concerning the divine purpose and plan in the mind and will of Yahweh. The word of wisdom is the best gift because it is a revelation concerning the plans and the purposes in the mind of Yahweh. The Word of Wisdom always speak about the future. This is the difference between the Word of Wisdom and the Word of Knowledge. A word of wisdom may be manifested through the vehicle of prophecy in any Spirit-filled believer’s life in his own private prayer life, as the Spirit wills, as the believer prays out the plan of Yahweh for his own life (see John 16:13,14). Therefore, the word of wisdom can come through the vocal gift of an utterance — through prophecy or through tongues and interpretation. The word of wisdom can also come through a vision or by a dream. For instance, in the Old Testament, Joseph received a word of wisdom through a dream which revealed to him Yahweh’s plans and purposes for Joseph’s future. Moses received the revelation of the Law by an audible Voice as Yahweh gave him the Law. The Law concerned Yahweh’s purpose for Israel; therefore, this was the word of wisdom in demonstration.

    As you are in the Spirit, being spiritually minded, the Holy Spirit can deem it necessary to bring you the Word of Wisdom concerning your life, people, city or the world. It is as He wills. Your own part is to ensure that you are in the Spirit, saturated by the Word. Selah!

    REMEMBER: The Word of Wisdom is the supernatural revelation of divine purpose and plan.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to maintain connection always with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive according to His will at anytime in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Whatever in your life that is working against your spirituality is cursed today. I decree your spiritual perception comes alive from now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (4): STAY LONG WITH THE WORD

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    HOW TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (4): STAY LONG WITH THE WORD

    They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
    Proverbs 23:30 (KJV)

    No matter how light a person is, no one gets intoxicated with one cup of wine. Conversely, no matter how hard a person is, tarrying long at the wine will pass even the hardest person out. That is true with the Word. Just skipping a few pages, won’t achieve the result we are describing this month. It is tarrying long with the Word that brings about saturation. There is what is called saturation. It is the act of soaking thoroughly with a liquid. You cannot encounter the Word with a measure that cannot even satisfy you. Before you talk of saturation, then you have gone beyond satisfaction. But you are still in control at the level of satisfaction. We are talking of the level where you are no more in control. We are saying, stay long with the Word until the Word takes a hold of you and begins to control you and your actions. We are saying that the Word cannot saturate you in the skimpy way that you are handling the Word now. The principle of intoxication is staying long at the wine of the Word. Isaiah 5:11 confirms that it takes staying long at wine to be inflamed therewith, “Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!”

    How long is long enough in the Word. Joshua 1:8 recommends a 24-hour meditation schedule. Isaiah 5:11 we saw above recommends rising up early in the morning and continuing until night. If people rise up early to go after wine and continue till night, beloved, should we not much more stay on this eternal wine of the Word that drive you into success and prosperity in life and for all eternity? Read the Word at every slightest opportunity you have and then continue to meditate on it for the other times. That is how to fulfil Joshua 1:8. Don’t ever catch yourself ruminating on things that are not Word-based.

    It is the same thing Apostle was saying in I Timothy 4:15 when he said, “Meditate upon these things? give thyself wholly to them? that thy profiting may appear to all.” Giving yourself wholly to the Word is the only time, your profiting can appear to all. There is profiting in the Word for you but tarrying long is the only way to pressure the juice of the Word to flow both into your spirit-man and through you bless your generation. Beloved, give yourself wholly to the Word. I Timothy 4:16 says “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine? continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.” Continue in them to guarantee your salvation. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: Staying long with the Word releases the wine of the Word into your spirit-man.

    CONFESSION: My life is a product of the Word. With delight I dwell in the Word because the glorious benefit must be mine. Glory!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Receive unquenchable thirst for the Word that will keep you with it all day in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (1): READING AND LISTENING TO THE WORD

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday, March 16, 2024

    HOW TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (1): READING AND LISTENING TO THE WORD

    Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
    II Timothy 2:15 (KJV)

    Beginning from today, we are going to examine how we can encounter the Word. With all we have seen the Word can do for us, unless we connect with the Word, we cannot enjoy the benefits. So how can we experience the Word and have the Word impart and metamorphose us? As we begin to unfold how we can do this, believe Yahweh to be a doer and not a hearer only. Decide to do and plan to do. Set Word objectives of what you must be covering in the light of what we are going to be showing you in a couple of days to come. It is He that does the Word that is blessed in his/her life (see James 1:22-25). The first way we encounter the Word is to hear it. Romans 10:17 says, ‘So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.’ Hearing the Word is by reading and listening. When you read, you are engaging your eyes and ears at the same time. This is important because what you see, makes impressions on your mind. The ear and the eyes are major channels into your mind and consequently your spirit-man. Consider this instruction from the Lord through Moses in Deuteronomy 11:19, ‘And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.’ This is saying let the ear channel of your children be saturated with the Word practically all the time.

    What reading does for you is that it floods your eyes and ears with the Word. What your eyes sees and your ears hears is what remains on your mind and that can be effortless. The work you need to do is to expose something to your eyes and ears, the other reaction of it remaining on your mind is almost involuntary. Even when you don’t plan to think about it, the mind just goes there because it is what it sees and hears that it cogitates upon. Without reading and listening to the Word being read out like audio Bible as we have them in this age, you are cutting off yourself from having the Word make impression of the Spirit on your spirit-man. There is Igbo adage that says “an ocean does not drown a person that it did not see his/her legs”. The Word is powerless in your life unless it comes into contact with your mind and spirit-man and that for a long while.

    Beloved, Satan knows this fact, therefore, he makes sure that you don’t make out time to read and listen to the Word. Now, you have to seat down and make a Word reading schedule. If you don’t do it, then it would not be done. You must set your Word reading goals for each day and then you can measure your progress. Why is setting Word targets important? Just the way you cannot measure performance against nothing. There must be a budgeting before you can measure performance or the actual against the budgeted. Same applies in your Word life. If you don’t have a target of what you must cover each day, you are not going to have anything to measure your performance against. Selah!

    REMEMBER: Set daily Word reading targets and ensure you are not failing.

    CONFESSION: The Word is the food of my spirit and on daily basis, I feed my spirit-man so fat deliberately. I do not take chances on taking care of my spirit-man. I am intentional about my spiritual health. Thank You Lord!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Every carelessness about your spiritual health is over from today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW THE WORD BUILDS YOU UP (7): IMPARTS WISDOM

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday, March 13, 2024

    HOW THE WORD BUILDS YOU UP (7): IMPARTS WISDOM

    For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
    Proverbs 2:6 (KJV)

    It is practically impossible to function in this kingdom outside the Word of Yahweh. This is because all that makes for real life and godliness are the impartation of the Word. The Word builds us up by giving us Divine Wisdom. Proverbs 4:7 says, ‘Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.’ Wisdom the trait of utilizing knowledge and experience with common sense and insight. It is the ability to apply knowledge or experience or understanding or common sense and insight. It is the quality of being prudent and sensible. There are four kinds of Wisdom according to James 3:15-18. The first kind of Wisdom is earthly or natural wisdom. It is the wisdom that we are born with as human being. Even though a child is just born, he/she does not put his/her mother’s breast in his/her nose and start sucking, earthly wisdom enables the child to put breast in his/her mouth and to suck. He/she does not need any lecture to get that done. Secondly, we have sensual wisdom. This is the wisdom acquired in the citadel of learning. It is also called intellectual wisdom. It comes through intellectual training and it enhances our social status. Thirdly, we have Devilish wisdom. This is the wisdom of diabolism and the occult. It is destructive in nature and it is used by magicians, witches, wizards and the occult. Then fourthly, we have the Wisdom from above. This is divine Wisdom and comes by interaction with the Word of Yahweh, the Bible.

    Our opening text is unequivocal about the source of this Wisdom. It comes from the mouth of the Lord. The Word of Yahweh is the fountain of this Wisdom. Because this Wisdom is from above, it is above all (see John 3:31). Therefore, the wisdom from above is superior to all other kinds of wisdom. Interestingly, this wisdom is traceable and trackable because it is pure, easily entreated, and full of good fruits, without partiality and hypocrisy (see James 3:17). Thus, it delivers the same way and at the same rate to anyone who engages it; there is no racial discrimination or partiality associated with it. That means, when we operate in divine wisdom, we get the same result and command the same level of dominion regardless of our backgrounds.

    If reigning and walking in dominion is your desire, then walking in the Wisdom from above is not an option for you, it is mandatory. Proverbs 8:15-16 says, ‘15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. 16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.’ This is saying that you cannot reign in your field outside of walking in Divine Wisdom and you cannot even get Divine Wisdom outside of the Word, the Bible. Oh how profound this truth is!

    REMEMBER: Divine Wisdom comes from the mouth of the Father by His Word.

    CONFESSION: I am a life student in the school of the Word. As I learn, divine wisdom is imparted to my spirit causing me to reign in life by HaMashiach. There is only one life for me, and it is forward and upward by divine wisdom. Glory to the Father!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I see a fresh thirst for the Word engulf your spirit bringing about the baptism of divine Wisdom in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
