WATCH THE WORD

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's word come to you, you have the sole responsibility to watch over the word lest the enemy steal it away from you.

Today, we shall be looking at three reasons you need to watch over the word of God spoken to you. 

The parable of the sower in Matthew chapter 13 shows that God's word can be stolen from one's heart, hence the need for you to guard your heart and watch His word in your heart.

The word can be stolen when you do not understand what you've heard. That means it's on the bare surface of your heart, and not properly hidden in the very core of your heart.

Another reason you must watch the word is because tribulation and persecution can steal it away from your heart. A Stony heart can be very deceptive. Though, such a heart might have joyfully received the word, but the word hasn't gained so much depth. To watch over the word, is to ensure that it is driven deep into your heart beyond the stony level.

Thirdly, you must watch over the word of God from being made ineffective through care of this world and deceitfulness of riches. These are thorns that hinder the word of God from growing into fruition in our lives.

The moment Mary said, 'let it be unto me according to your word', she entered into a covenant to keep watch over the word spoken to her. She heard the word, received it and kept watch over it! That's the same responsibility you've got today.

 *You keep the word of God that you've heard by watching over it, and you watch over it by keeping your eyes on it!* 

*Bible  Reading :* 

Luke 1:28- 38

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, I receive the grace to always keep watch over your word spoken to me 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 ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
