LIFE & HEALTH

Text: Proverbs 4:22

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

God's words have the power and potency to give you life and supply health, healing and cure to your body. When you devote yourself to the study of God's words like your necessary daily meal, you reap great rewards therein. 

In anyway, *God's words are spiritual meal that guarantees your spiritual and physical wellbeing.

Job said, "Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; *I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food"* Job 23:12.

There are few things you must do for God's words to become flesh(real and tangible)in your life and situations. 

Proverbs 4:20-21 stated four(4) things you must do for God's words to be life and health to you.

My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart;

1. Give attention to His words: Giving attention to God's words is committing yourself to daily study and meditation of the word. It is good to hear God's word from teachers and preachers in the church or online, but it is best for you to personally create your own time for the word. "My pastor says this, my pastor says that" is not going to bring you into spiritual maturity. A saying has it that: *"No matter how tall your father is, you must do your own growing."

Many people in the church today are being cheated and robbed simply because they have not been making out personal time to study God's words.

The scripture in Acts 17:11 recorded and compared the attitude of two different people to God's words: 

These(Berea) were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily [to find out] whether these things were so.  

The Bereans were more noble than the Thessalonians because they do two things:

a. They eagerly received God's.

 b. They searched out what they have received daily.

No student makes outstanding success in the long run by only attending lecture, listening to lecturers and taking notes without having personal time for study. Even if there are few genius who are exceptional, the general rule and standard for sustainable success still lies on personal study. 

So, if serious student will need personal time of study to guarantee him success, why do you think the case is different in Spiritual matters. You also need your personal time with the Lord. 

Do not always run to pastor for everything. Get to know God for yourself.

Pay attention to His words by yourself, and you will start to witness turn around in your own life and situations. 


Bible reading:  Psalms 1:1-6


PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, I ask for grace to commit to personal and indepth study of your words.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
