LIFE & HEALTH-3

Text: Proverbs 4:22

 "...For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh"

God's word must be held unto firmly in order for it to yield desirable result. 

The third factor that makes the word of deliver life and health to you is by not allowing the word to depart from your eyes. 

For the word not to depart from your eyes, you must glean revelation and insights from it. Unless you receive revelation from God's word, it remains a mere information. 

Proverbs 4:21 says "Let them (God's word) not depart from your eyes..." 

One of the major gateways to your life are your eyes. When your eyes trap God's word by the reason of its singleness(focus), you reap the benefit of great and deep insight from it.  

The writer of the book of Proverbs in chapter 23:26 talks about the son letting his eyes observe His ways. For your eyes to behold the wondrous things in the word of God, you must be very intentional about it. It takes your regular reading of the scripture on a daily basis. 

Having submitted yourself to the discipline of daily reading of the word, you must solely depend on the mercy of God to open your spiritual eyes. You need both your physical and spiritual eyes to see the written word and Rhema contained in the scripture. There are wondrous things in the word of God (Bible) which you will not see unless the Lord Himself opens your ( spiritual) eyes.  

Psalms 119:18 says " Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law"

You cannot receive life and health in your body until your eyes are opened to see the blessings as contained in the scriptures. Hence, you need to allow your eyes capture the word with your physical and spiritual eyes on a daily basis.


 Bible reading: Psalms 1:1-6

 PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, I ask that you open my eyes that I may behold the wondrous things in your law.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
