WATCH THE WORD! - 2

Text:Luke  1:38

And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

When God' gives you His word, the enemy will make every possible attempt to ensure the word does not come to pass. That's the reason many do not experience the fulfillment of  prophecy and  prophetic words spoken over their lives. 

Mary took in with the pregnancy of Jesus the very moment God's word came to her. But after Jesus was born, the  enemy rose up to quench the LIGHT. King Herod ordered that all babies between two years and below should be killed. 

Our arch enemy will always use man as his instrument. In this case, he has chosen king Herod to terminate the WORD of God given to mankind. The devil is a lawless being, he has no regard for anyone. You can imagine him making attempts on the life of the Son of God, the very Word of God Himself. 

If the devil did make an attempt to snuff out Jesus' life and destiny when he was a toddler, then know for sure that you are never exempted from his assaults.

God Himself had to watch over His own Word (Jesus) to protect him from being stolen, killed or destroyed by the evil one. For God to protect Jesus from the assault of the devil, He had to speak to Joseph in a dream through an angel to flee from Bethlehem with Mary and Jesus. (Matthew 2:13-14).

God did not have to do any spiritual gymnastics  to deliver Jesus from the assault of the devil through King Herod. He only had to give instruction to Joseph. It is therefore clear that to watch the word of God spoken over your life, you must simply take heed to instructions given to you.
I mean It is as simple as paying attention to instructions.

Do not be waiting for extra ordinary events before you can believe that the LORD is speaking to you. Always pay attention to that godly advice from your parents (spiritual or biological), friend, or your spouse- God is always speaking and giving instructions to you through various means and vessels. 

Just imagine, if Joseph had not responded to the dream, instructing him to flee from Bethlehem to Egypt, what would have been the outcome of his disobedience?

Today, I want you to establish it firmly in your heart that *the simple way to keeping your life and watching over God's words over your life is by simply paying attention to instructions. INSTRUCTION IS LIFE!* 

 *Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is your life.(Proverbs  4:13)* 

Proverbs  10:17 also says that "He is in the way of life that keeps instruction: but he that refuses reproof errs."

*Bible  Reading :* 

Matthew 2: 1-18.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, I receive the grace to always pay attention to instructions 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 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...
