THE BIBLE: SUBMIT TO GOD’S LEADERSHIP AND GOD’S AUTHORITY

You’re the product of the information to which you expose
yourself. You’re the result of the leadership to which you submit yourself.
There are different forms of leadership in the world, but there’s only one
which is of God; that’s the leadership of the Word of God.

Some people listen and hearken to all sort of information,
refusing to be guided by God’s Word. Most of such people are ruled by their
senses and therefore estranged from God. The Bible says, “They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children
of God…” (Romans 9:8). Whenever you open yourself to unrestricted
information, you’re bound to yield to all kinds of worldly advice, which are
void of the revelation of God’s Word.

You must make up your mind that God’s Word would be the only
compass that guides the course of your life, and not what someone who doesn’t
even have the Holy Spirit says.

You can’t live the rest of your life on the opinions of men
and women that have nothing but human experiences to share with you. Don’t
build your home on fickle counsel that’s constantly changing with the senses
and times. Rather, build your life on the proven and tested Word of God that’ll
never change. This is the reason you must let His Word abide in you richly.

PRAYER:

Dear Heavenly Father,
I recognize that Your Word is not of men, but the divine light. I yield my
whole being to its leadership or rulership today and by it I find my way
through life.  I declare that the Word of
God is my light and life, in Jesus Christ Name. Amen!

All You Need Is The Word Of God; The Light Of Life; The Lord Jesus Christ Who Is The Word Of God Made Flesh

Man is hopelessly lost until he receives God’s Word (2
Corinthians 4:3-4). The Word of God is the true light (John 1:9). This is the
light that you need to find your way through life. You see, the world is
pervaded by darkness and until you recognize the Word as the true Light, you’ll
continue to grope in life.

Fear, confusion, poverty, disease and death are all forms of
darkness. They all originated from the same source, the devil, who is himself
darkness. The reason many people fall by the way side in life is that they
didn’t have the light to go through the darkness of life and there was no light
for them to navigate, so they fell and plunged themselves deeper into darkness.

When you get a hold of the Word of God, your path becomes
illuminated and you’re able to find your way through life. If however you
neglect the Word and your choices are made in darkness, you’ll get yourself
into bigger trouble.

The Bible says, “He (God) sent His Word, and healed them,
and delivered them from their destructions” (Psalms 107:20). Therefore, it
makes no difference the type of darkness you’re going through today, all you
need is the Word of God; the Light of life; the Lord Jesus Christ Who is the
Word of God made flesh.

He said, “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever
believeth on me should not abide in darkness” (John 12:46). He’ll lead you
through the darkness of confusion, frustration, disease, poverty, and fear. You
can walk out of that darkness a victor today for the Light is coming to you
today through this devotional. Therefore, open your heart and receive
direction. Hallelujah! Amen!

PRAYER

Father, I thank You
for You have commanded Your Light to shine out of my darkness and this Light is
shinning in my heart. Therefore, my life is illuminated with the glory of your
Word; prosperity, and God – ideas are coming to me now and I’m making the right
choices in life, in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Bible – Prepare your heart for the word of God by speaking in tongues at all times

If you want a harvest of crops from your seed, you must sow
in a fertile ground. A good farmer wouldn’t sow his seed just anywhere. He’s
trained to cultivate the soil so his seed can produce much harvest. The Lord
Jesus likened the heart of man to the soil in the parable of the sower in Mark
4:2-8. In the same vein, if you want the Word of God to produce results in your
life, you must prepare your heart to receive the Word.

The first thing you must do is, cultivate the ground of your
heart in readiness for the seed of the Word of God. The Bible says, “…….Break
up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns” (Jeremiah 4:3). This is done
by praying in other tongues.

When you pray in other tongues, you’re actually charging up
yourself (1 Corinthians 14:4). That way, you become more susceptible to the
move of the Holy Spirit and you can easily pick up revelations from the realm
of the spirit. Soon, you’ll begin to declare faith-filled words as they well up
from your inner man. These words act as the water and fertilizer for your
heart. Keep at it, until you’re charged to maximum.

The next thing you must do is to quieten your mind to
receive the Word. The reason your mind is important is that it is the doorway
to your spirit. As such, it must be kept quiet to avoid being distracted by
what I call “spiritual noise”. When you’re distracted your mind easily wanders,
and you can’t receive the right thoughts from the Word. There’s a great difference
between listening to and actually hearing the Word. You listen with your ears,
but hear with your heart.

I encourage you to make effort always to create the right
environment for the Word of God in your heart. This is how to make the harvest
of the Word of God thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as was
planted in your heart. Make every Word of God count today!

CONFESSION

I REFUSE TO WALK IN
UNBELIEF; I HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE WHERE THE WORD OF GOD OPERATES IN MY
LIFE IN SPITE OF THE PREVAILING SITUATIONS. I CONSTANTLY GAZE AT THE WORD AND
REFUSE TO BE DISTRACTED FOR AS I CONTINUE TO LOOK I’M BEING TRANSFORMED TO THE
IMAGE OF HIM THAT CALLED ME. HALLELUJAH! AMEN!!

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you
richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord (Colossians
3:16)

My greatest
desire in life is to know God more, for that’s where the glory is. With God’s
Word, I can be anything; go anywhere; have anything, and can do anything.

So, I challenge
you today; fill your heart with God’s Word. Let the desire and love to know God
more through His Word be your greatest driving force in life. Build your spirit
with the Word. This is the beginning of the second quarter of 2011, and if you
haven’t already started making lavish investments in getting you spirit
thoroughly built up by the Word of God, you must begin immediately. That’s what
will cause you to shine, not only in 2011, but also for life.

Remember,
the glory is in the Word. When the Word of God dwells richly in your spirit,
you will shine, as the glory of God will be evident in your life. Therefore,
you must forthwith, give the Word of God rapt attention, until they become your
vocabulary, such that, you can no longer talk fear, lack, weakness, sickness or
anything negative.

Let God’s
Word dwell in your heart so richly, that you can no longer talk according to
your sight, but only according to God’s Word. When that happens, you will shine
and walk in the glory of God not only in this 2011, but also all lifelong.

CONFESSION

MY HEART IS OPENED TO BE FILLED WITH
THE TREASURE AND WISDOM OF GOD’S WORD. AS I STUDY AND LISTEN TO GOD’S WORD, THE
HOLY SPIRIT IS ON HAND TO TEACH AND GRANT ME INSIGHTS AND REVELATIONS, CAUSING
THE WORD TO GROW AND PREVAIL IN MY LIFE, OVER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, IN JESUS
CHRIST NAME, AMEN!

Jesus (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and
a light unto my path (Psalm 119:105).

Life is
filled with choices that can either make or mar you. At different stages of
life, you’re presented with different choices and to make such decision without
errors, you need proper guidance which only God’s Word can provide.

In John 1:9,
the Bible says the Word of God is the true Light. It’s the Sword of the Spirit
with which you pierce your way through the darkness of life. If the true Light
dwells richly in you, fear, defeat, failure, and all other results of darkness
won’t have any place in you. You won’t fear because the true Light will show
you that God has not given you the spirit of fear. You won’t be defeated
because you’ll see that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the
world. You won’t be sick because you’ll discover that by His stripes, you were
healed. The Word of God will reveal to you what God sees you to be.

It’s your
responsibility to invest the Word of God in yourself by studying it regularly.
If you can inundate your mind with it and store it in your spirit, the Word of
God will produce great results in you and you will glow with the glory of God.
You’ll have a clear direction in life and others will acknowledge that you’re
different.

Do you now
see how victoriously you can live if you keep the Word of God in your heart? If
there’s any darkness in your family, academics, or business, just take a hold
of the Light of God’s Word and pierce through the darkness in the Name of
Jesus!

CONFESSION

I’M A PRODUCT OF GOD’S ETERNAL WORD.
EVERYDAY, I DELIGHT IN IT AND AS I DO TODAY, THE GLORY OF GOD IS REVEALED IN MY
LIFE FOR OTHERS TO SEE AND FOLLOW.

Fear not!

Jesus is considered by scholars such as Weber ...

Though a host should
encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war should rise against me,
in this will I be confident (Psalm 27:3)

Fear is one
of the most important tools of the adversary, the devil. The moment you yield
your heart to it, it’ll create the perfect environment for him to plunder your
life. Fear is a tormenting and domineering spirit; its intent is to take over
your life. You mustn’t yield to it or give it room in your heart.

Jairus was
on his way to his house with the Lord Jesus when he heard that his daughter was
dead. Jesus had to quickly rebuke the spirit of fear to stop it from dominating
his heart (Luke 8:49-50).

In Psalm
46:1-2, the psalmist expressed his confidence and boldness to confront
terrifying situations fearlessly. The reason was that he had spent a lot of
time studying and meditating on God’s law. You see, the information you allow
into your mind will determine the condition of your heart. For this reason, we
are admonished by the spirit of God in Proverb 4:23 to keep and guard our
hearts with all vigilance and above all that we guard, “…….for out of it flow the springs of life” (AMP).

God has
given us a powerful weapon to cast out fear. That weapon is His Word. The Bible
says, “For the Word of God is quick, and
powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword….” (Hebrews 4:12). The Word
is all you need to get rid of fear in your life. Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and
hearing by the Word of God.” As you receive it into your spirit, you’re
emboldened and empowered to face and win everyday’s challenges.

When you
fill your heart with God’s Word, you’ll no longer be fearful or succumbs to
satan’s manoeuvres.

CONFESSION

I am growing in the knowledge of God’s
Word and God’s perfect love. God has not given me the spirit of fear, but of
power, love, and a sound mind. Therefore, I refuse to fear and yield to its
tormenting power for fear has no place in my life, in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Meditating On The Word Of God: Your Recipe For Success

This Scripture is your recipe for success. The Amplified version says: “This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe (and ) do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely (and ) have good success.” Notice it didn’t say “God shall make your way prosperous,” but that “YOU shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely in the affairs of life and have good success.” But for this to happen, you must meditate on the Word.
This is what many haven’t learnt; the importance and power of meditation. The subject of your meditation should be consistent with the provisions of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Meditating on anything else that’s not consistent with the Gospel will not produce lasting results.
Meditating on God’s Word often, will make you deal wisely in the affairs of life. You’ll become circumspect and penetratingly perceptive; you’ll have extraordinary amplitude of comprehension. The wisdom of God will function in you so much that when you make decisions or take actions on anything, it will be just right. Learn to consciously meditate on the Scriptures. In Psalm 119:97, David said, “O how love I thy law! It is my meditation all the day.” No wonder he was so successful and dealt wisely as king over Israel.
As you think through, talk and shout God’s Word in meditation, you’re programming yourself for the upward and forward life, and your success will be apparent to all.
“This book of law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success” (Joshua 1:8)
CONFESSION
GOD’s Word is in my mouth and in my heart today, working in me and producing results in every area of my life. The Word of God has made me wise unto salvation, and the forces of success, prosperity and divine health are let loose in my life, in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!
