Not by bread alone

Deuteronomy 8:3 clearly states that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Therefore, it is not only important but imperative to regularly feed our spirit with the word of God to be able to stand strong in faith and live a victorious life. 

Without the word of God alive and abundant in our spirit, we cannot resist temptation or grow in faith. The word of God strengthens our spirit, just as food nourishes our body. Neglecting to feed our spirit regularly with the word of God will lead to spiritual compromise, causing us to pick up the sins we have dropped. 

Not feeding ourselves with the word of God always will lead to our compromise causing our spiritual life to suffer, and leave us vulnerable to defeat at the hand of the devil. It is by feeding our spirit with the word of God that God will be able to build us up and prepare us for the purpose He has called us to serve. 

Nobody will make progress in his walking with God without continuous craving for the knowledge of God and feeding himself with the word of God always. The knowledge we gain from the word of God will create a burning desire in us to become like Christ and give us the strength to imitate Him in all things. 

Everything we need to live a godly life and make an eternal impact is all in the word of God for us to access. We have the grace, power, wisdom, understanding, and anointing through the word of God to fulfil the mission of Christ.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
