IT IS WRITTEN-2

-
Text :   Matthew 4:4.

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Before Jesus knew what was written concerning Him, He must have taken His time to read it.

 *How much of what is written (in the Bible) concerning you do you know? What you don't know is above you, be informed.* 

The word of God is regarded as sword. Ephesians  6:17  says *take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:* 

When you don't read and retain the word of God in you, you have no sword with which to fight. *A swordless soldier is a defenseless soldier.* 

If Jesus Christ took His time to read the word, you have no excuse not to do same.

The word of God is a lamp and a light. 
 _Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path._ Psalms  119:105.

Light gives illumination and direction to its holder, when you are short on the word, you'll lack direction for living. 

When the devil realised that Jesus was using the word against him, he decided to use the word code too. If Jesus was not grounded in the word, He could have been bamboozled with heretic theory. Matthew 4:6.

Don't just know what you are told, study and meditate on the word for and by yourself, that way, you will not be tossed to and fro.

Everything that is written is written for your sake, so you can lead a victorious life here on earth and be well guarded back to the Father. 

 *PAY ATTENTION TO HIS WRITTEN WORD AND IT WILL COME ALIVE FOR YOU.* 


 *Bible Reading :* 

Matthew 4:1-11.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, I receive the grace to read, meditate and live by your word in Jesus name.

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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
