Daily Devotional for Tuesday 10th August

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES


TUESDAY 10TH AUGUST.


SEPARATED FROM JUDGEMENT


For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16).



There’s a word of judgement and condemnation that’s already working in the world. Anyone who’s born into this world inherits that judgement. But when you’re born again, a new life begins with acquittal: “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). Romans 8:1 declares: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”


It parallels the words of Jesus in our opening verse; anyone who believes in Him is severed from judgement. You’re not numbered amongst them that perish; there’s a divine decree to that effect. All the negativities in the world: the darkness, diseases, sicknesses, infirmities, poverty, defeat and failure are a result of the curse, the judgement that’s at work in the world. But you’re not of this world (John 17:16); you’re from above; from a heavenly kingdom.


Keep yourself separated from, and in dominion over, all the negative influences and elements of this world through your faith-filled words. 1 Corinthians 2:12-13 says “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak….” Keep declaring the Word of victory over your life.


Every so often, affirm that you live above this world and have overcome its failing systems! Your life is for the glory of God, for the expression of His righteousness, dominion and excellence. No sickness, disease or infirmity should be allowed to thrive in your body, because the Spirit of Him that raised Christ from the dead lives and perambulates in you! He’s invigorated your whole being with the divine life. Have this consciousness and make these affirmations always.



CONFESSION

My life is the expression of God’s righteousness, dominion and excellence. No sickness, disease or infirmity can thrive in my body, because the Spirit of Him that raised Christ from the dead, lives and perambulates in me. I’m far removed from the destruction or judgement that works in this present world of darkness, because I belong and live in the Kingdom of God’s dear Son. Amen.

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN 



I affirm that the Word of God is for my progress, blessings, and promotion! My heart is opened to receive God’s Word and live by it today. I walk day after day by the light of God’s Word. I am not moved by the natural circumstances that exist in the world. God’s Word is the light by which I operate in my job, finances, family, and everything that concerns me.


[url=https://www.youtube.com/c/AffirmationTrain2][/url]
I am aware of God’s bountiful provisions for me, and I am enjoying them because I see by the greater light of His Word. I refuse to be swayed by the many contrary voices in the world; rather, I make a deliberate choice to look away from everything else and focus my gaze on the Word. By this, I continuously function in the realities of the Kingdom. Hallelujah! I am rooted and grounded in the Word; therefore, grace and peace are multiplied in my life.


I have the grace to face challenging situations and still come out victorious! I am powered by the Spirit, and the strength of the Spirit wells up within me each time I am faced with adverse circumstances that challenge my faith! God’s indwelling and abiding presence is my guarantee that, come what may, I will always be a winner. Glory to God. Hallelujah!

God bless you

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  
DATE: TUESDAY 10TH AUGUST 2021. 

THEME: DIVINE SUPPLIES.

HYMN 16:   O GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST.
1. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.

2. Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.

3. Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.

4. Thy Word commands our flesh to dust,
“Return, ye sons of men”:
All nations rose from earth at first,
And turn to earth again.

5. A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.

6. The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downwards by the flood,
And lost in foll’wing years.

7. Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op’ning day.

8. Like flow’ry fields the nations stand
Pleased with the morning light;
The flow’rs beneath the mower’s hand
Lie with’ring ere ’tis night.

9. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.
  
MEMORISE:

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

BIBLE READING:  2 Kings 6:26-30, 7:1-2.

26 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.

27 And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?

28 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.

29 So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.

30 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.

MESSAGE:
Considering the economic situation in the world today, anyone can see that divine intervention is urgently needed. The fact that a few nations, especially in the so-called developed world seem to be ‘comfortably fed’ does not mean the world at large is economically stable.

Although the household of the king may not have felt the heat of food scarcity in Samaria as keenly as the masses in our text of today, the reality of the famine was undeniable in that city. In like manner, we cannot deny the heat of the economic crunch in the world today. I pray that, just as the Almighty God made divine supplies available for His children in today’s Bible text, so also shall He do for us in this present time, in the mighty name of Jesus.

The situation in Samaria, as seen in today’s text was so bad that Elisha’s prophecy of abundant provision within twenty-four hours seemed too good to be true to those who did not know the power of Jehovah-Jireh. Beloved, divine intervention defies natural laws and protocol. I pray that the Lord will intervene in every situation in your life as you read this today, in Jesus’ name.

One lesson we should all learn from the story in today’s text is that whatever God says will happen shall surely come to pass. 2 Kings 7:16 records that:
“And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.”

One of my children told of the reality of poverty on the streets of London where some people beg for spare “penny” to survive. According to him, these beggars are not even foreigners! This is also true of other so-called super powers including the United States, where there are thousands of homeless people. Beloved, I can assure you that, in spite of the seeming economic affluence in some places, there is still poverty in many parts of the world.

I pray for you that the Lord who intervened in the situation of Samaria will grant you divine supplies today, in the mighty name of Jesus.

ACTION POINT:
Give your life to Jesus Christ today. If you are already born again, ask Him to turn around every negative situation of your life today, even as He did for Samaria, in the mighty name of Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 40-41.

SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY

DR PAUL ENENCHE

TUESDAY 10 AUGUST 2021.

TOPIC: CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS OF SINS: A KEY TO HEALING

SCRIPTURE: Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.
Psalms 103:1-3

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: There is a connection between sickness and sin; there is a connection between the confession of sins and the healing of the body.

The Scripture makes it clear that a major channel for healing and health is confession and forgiveness of sins.

James 5:14-16 says,

Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

This means, if a sick person is anointed with oil, the prayer of faith can heal him. And if he has committed sin, he can be forgiven.

This means, sickness is linked with sin. It may not be every sickness, but there is a connection between sickness and sin. And there is a connection between the confession of sins and the healing of the body.

Psalms 103:1-3 says,

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases. 

Before God would heal all your diseases, He first forgives your iniquities (sins). 

Also, Psalm 119:67 says,

Before I was afflicted, I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.

Going astray does not only mean smoking, drinking or fornicating, it could also mean little exaggeration of facts. Going astray could also involve being arrogant, keeping malice and refusing to forgive your offenders.

Beloved, ensure you stay away from iniquity in order to have sound health.

Remember this: There is a connection between sickness and sin. There is a connection between the confession of sins and the healing of the body.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Ask for the Mercy of God to cleanse you from every iniquity.

2. Decide to stay pure in order to be healthy.

PRAYER: Lord, I ask for Your Mercy. Cleanse me from every iniquity, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: CHANNELS OF DIVINE HEALING AND HEALTH (PART1)

QUOTE: When you are in bitterness, you cease to be in peace, and therefore, you are deprived of all these things; you are deprived of health, prosperity, peace, favour, completeness, soundness, quietness, wellness, happiness, friendliness and it is such a limitation. Culled from “AM I BITTER?” by Dr (Mrs) Becky Paul-Enenche.

DAILY READING: Jeremiah 13-15

REFLECTION: The clearness of the conscience is the connected to freedom from illness. Endeavour at all times to maintain a conscience that is clear.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Every trace of affliction in your body is cursed in Jesus’ Name.
