The message for today - "Believe in His Word" !
In Nehemiah 8:10 it says, Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. We can find strength in God's Word. Do you have a hunger and thirst for the True ? Have you seek the True for your Life ? “Do you need to know what is true by God's Word, what is true about you by God's Word, true about people by God's Word, true about the world by God's Word, true about the future by God's Word , true about the past by God's Word, true about the good life by God's Word, and truth about God ,” then read God’s Word (The Bible). Why did I keep saying, God's Word, because it's truth. It teaches only the truth, it's in John 17:17-19, Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified. It is a sad reality that some people claim the faith of Jesus Christ, but don't have true faith. That means they're not speaking, teaching, nor preaching the True Gospel of Jesus Christ with the Holy Ghost Power. The New Testament abounds with illustrations that describe the difference between those who possess true faith and those who do not. Let's look at Matthew 3:11-12, "I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire." Are you on fire for Jesus or are you lukewarm ? Let me put it like this, do you speak spiritual living water or drinking water? Do you truly understand the times we're living in? Let me start with the truth, some people maybe believing that faith and fear can live in the same place. Not true, it's in Isaiah 43:1 “Don't fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine.” God actually commands us not to fear, or worry. It is of utmost importance that we take the time to look honestly at our own faith walk. Are you prepared for unparalleled devastation from disease such as the world has never seen? It's in the Word of God, but God's Word tells us to fear not also. It's in Isaiah 41:10-11, So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. "All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish." Do you believe God's Word ? Let's look at Moses, he had faith in God, successfully leading the Israelites in their exodus from Egypt. Abraham had faith in God and was willing to sacrifice his only son Isaac to God, and ultimately God blessed him, allowing his descendants to multiply and become great nations. Come on people of God where is your faith? Whose report do you believe? Job had faith in God and was able to stand witness for God through two trials; God blessed him even more, and appeared to him and spoke to him from a storm. The Canaanite woman in Matthew had faith in the Lord Jesus and believed that He could drive out the evil spirit from her daughter; she made her plea to the Lord and her daughter’s sickness was cured. Do you not know that you have the Holy Ghost and Power living within you ? To those who faithfully obey God and seek Him daily, He promises that in Psalm 91:1-10,Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. Will you be able to claim that promise, people for really? Do you have that kind of faith? We need to understand from God’s Word that true faith refers to being able to maintain a heart and spirit of reverence for and submission to God's Will in whatever environment we maybe facing today. Whether we’re encountering hardships and refinements, setbacks and failures or not knowing about tomorrow, suffering is a part of God's plan and purpose. We walk by faith, not by sight and trusting God's Word. We must be able to seek the truth in His Word daily, understand God’s Will, and continue to be devoted to Him in the midst of the storm of Life. We have to seek God's intentions behind the storm, so we can learn something from everything we go through. I'm going to repeat that key word "everything!"For us all intercessory prayer daily, "For me and my house (Family) the Lord is our strong tower, we're going to Trust Him". Amen ! In Proverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe. Heavenly Father we're seeking you daily (day & night). Let us encourage one another and build each other up by Your Word in Spirit and True Lord. Amen !
Scriptures to Meditate on this week :
Matthew 25:1-12,"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.Five of them were foolish and five were wise.The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep."At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!' "Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'"'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'"But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut."Later the others also came. 'Lord, Lord,' they said, 'open the door for us!' "But he replied, 'Truly I tell you, I don't know you.'
Matthew 25:32,All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
