THE HORRORS OF SIN (4): ABSENCE OF PEACE

There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.
Isaiah 48:22 (KJV)

One of the first thing that happened to Adam at the fall was the lose of peace. Peace is that state of tranquillity spirit, soul and body. Peace is the absence of war both within and without. Peace is a state of perfect fellowship with Yahweh where man’s obedience is confirmed. At the fall, the first thing that happened to Adam was that he discovered he was afraid. There was a looming sense of conflict, war and contempt spiritually that made him hide from the presence of the Lord. The presence that he used to enjoy before was now making him afraid. Surely and truly, there is no peace unto the wicked. The wicked is the person that lives in rebellion against the Word of Yahweh. The wicked is that one that scorns obedience to the Word of Yahweh. Sin destroys the presence of Yahweh which guarantees peace and leaves us with war both within and without. You cannot truly be at peace with sin alive in you. One of the greatest treasures in this life is peace. Once, there is no peace, then every other thing will breakdown; health, marriage, career, business, etc. Literally, if there is war, everything shuts down. That is how destiny shuts down by sin. When there is no peace, life begins to shut down. So, peace is an inevitable asset in the race of life.

THE NATURE OF SIN (1): SIN IS DECEPTIVE

THE NATURE OF SIN (1): SIN IS DECEPTIVE

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day? lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Hebrews 3:13 [KJV]

The problem with sin is the nature thereof. Sin is deceptive. It causes one to believe what is not true or to fail to believe what is true. Sin is death in disguise. But sin will make you believe that it is enjoyment and pleasures without consequences. Sin cause one to believe that there is nothing that will happen. But we have seen that sin kills. Sin destroys whatever it comes into contact with. Sin is at the root of destructions of marriage, business, career, education, etc. A man that drinks believes that he is enjoying but that is deception of sin because he is destroying his liver and vital organs with alcohol. A young woman that is jumping from one bed to another, from one hotel to another thinks that she is happening, without knowing that she is a walking corpse, according to the Bible (see I Timothy 5:6). In plain terms a person who is deceived by definition does not even know they are deceived! And this is the deadly effect of sin in our lives – sin so alters our thinking that we do not even realize we are deceived when we sin!

THE WORD BUILDS YOU UP (9): BY GIVING YOU PEACE

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

Psalms 119:165 (KJV)

There are few things that are as valuable in life as peace. Peace is a stress-free state of security and calmness that comes when there’s no fighting or war, everything coexisting in perfect harmony and freedom. Peace is a state where there is no war or fighting within or without you. It is coming to a place of perfect rest and tranquillity in your spirit-man. So many people are at war within. They have the good things of life and live in good places and environment yet there is war within, no peace. The worst case of existence is lack of peace existence. That is the reason for suicide. The worst part of it is that there is nothing physical that can give or guarantee you peace within. Peace within comes first from surrendering your heart to the Lord Yahushua, reconciling with the Father through the Lord Yahushua. Then that state of peace is established by taking your seat in the Word. When you are in the Word, no devil can offend you, nothing can upset your heart. The world may be in turmoil; your environment may be on fire but within there is absolute peace and tranquillity. Peace is a state of living without a guilty conscience. Peace is a state of living without your heart skipping at the thoughts of things.

TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (1): BE CONSISTENT IN READING, LISTENING AND STUDY

TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (1): BE CONSISTENT IN READING, LISTENING AND STUDY

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.

THE WORD CANNOT LIE

THE WORD CANNOT LIE

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Hebrews 6:18 (KJV)

The Word cannot lie. It is impossible for the Word to lie. It is something that cannot happen. If the Word says something, it is better heaven and earth expires than for the Word to fail to come to pass. Matthew 5:18 says, ‘For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.’ The surest thing in time and throughout all eternity is Yahweh’s Word. It is one thing that you can take with your two eyes closed and still not miss your way or target. It is that sure and even more. The Word has been tried seven times and proved true both in heaven, on earth and in hell. Psalms 12:6 says, ‘The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.’ We want you to understand how infallible the Word is and that will built trust in the Word that will become your bedrock for unbelievable success with the Lord. The problem is faith. If you can believe the Word, you can become whatever the Word says, no matter how far removed presently from your reality it is. It is impossible for the Word to fail. The Word is the integrity of the LORD YAHWEH. The Word carries in itself the capacity and capability to become whatever it talks about, the only clause is if the person can believe enough to behave in accordance to the demands of the Word. Mark 9:23 says, ‘Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.’

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY THE WORD?

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY THE WORD?

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 [KJV]

The Word of Yahweh is what our text calls “this book of the Law”. The Word of Yahweh is the revelations of Yahweh to holy men and women as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The Word of Yahweh is the Bible as it is today. The Bible is the record of Yahweh’s dealing with people which reveal His person, attributes, nature, likes and dislikes. Our Yahweh is not a god that does not speak. He speaks and has shown us how to know Him. He commanded the people of old to write down His dealings with them so that it will serve as examples and instruction for the generation next. I Corinthians 10:11 says, “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” Because our Yahweh is unchanging, who He was yesterday, is who He is today and is who He is going to be tomorrow (see Hebrews 13:8). This means that if you know how he responded to someone yesterday, and you are interested in that order of response, you can replicate it in your own life as you respond just like that person you read about. Our Yahweh has establish laws and principles and if anyone is interested to follow them, he/she will receive according to the expected outcome as written in the Word of Yahweh – the Bible.

WHAT THIS PARTNERSHIP HOLDS FOR YOU (3): SUPERNATURAL ADDITIONS

WHAT THIS PARTNERSHIP HOLDS FOR YOU (3): SUPERNATURAL ADDITIONS

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33 (KJV)

From our opening verse, the Lord spoke to Bishop David Oyedepo “Seek me and the interest of my kingdom first and all these things that men are running after shall be added to you”. “I want to build a house of my own”. “I want to buy a new car.” “I want to marry this year.” All these things that people are running after are additions to the person that goes about bearing the gospel. The author hates suffering and smiling. He strives to find out the way to get something without struggling and takes that path. You can suffer your head out just to build yourself a house. You save, you deny yourself of some many things, then after 20 years, halleluyah! You have a roof over your own head. There is another route. Be committed to the gospel and a roof over your hand is supernaturally added to you within five years of desiring one and that without going through all the denials and suffering. Which one would you rather opt for? Seeking Yahweh and the interest of His kingdom which is the salvation of the souls of men, endears you to the Yahweh for supernatural additions of those things that men are running around town for. It is foolishness to opt in for suffer-head!

THANKFUL FOR FEBRUARY 2023

Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Colossians 2:7 [KJV]

Here at #WordForTodayDevotional, we devote the last day of every month as our thanksgiving day where we celebrate the grace of Yahweh that has seen us through the month. We do not take for granted the mercies of the Lord from the first of the month to today the last day. It has been a torrent of the word on Love and we owe the Lord thanks. We have returned today to thank Him for the success of the month of FEBRUARY 2023. In case, you cannot see anything to thank Yahweh for – I know such a person will not be reading this now; let me remind you that not all that saw 1st of FEBRUARY 2023 are alive today to see the 28th of FEBRUARY 2023. It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed (see Lamentations 3:22). We owe Him thanks today. Also, our attitude of thanksgiving determines, what the next month will be for us. Let us explore more on the benefits of thanksgiving.

THE POWER OF YAHWEH’S LOVE (7): THE ANOINTING

THE POWER OF YAHWEH’S LOVE (7): THE ANOINTING

“Howbeit the Lord God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: … and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel:”

1 Chronicles 28:4, KJV

Yahweh’s love is what provokes the anointing upon a life. David said ”and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel:” His love for me separated me for the anointing says David. What is the anointing and what does it hold for my life and destiny? Literally, the anointing refers to the anointing oil. The anointing oil is a divinely inspired formulation. Exodus 30:22-30 let’s us into the formulation ingredients and uses. This holy anointing oil is used to commission people into divine service as priests and kings. No one will ever emerge a priest or a king in Israel upon whose head the holy anointing oil has not been poured. This is very significant because the believer has a king priest destiny in HaMashiach as I Peter 2:9 says, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:” The anointing is your coronation into your destiny office as a king priest. That means without the anointing destiny cannot start let alone being fulfilled.
