Topic: The Power In The Word [TREM Devotional Thursday June 28, 2018]

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63

One of the things every believer must know is the infallibility of the Word of God. The Word of God is the final authority. Nothing can be added and nothing can be removed from the Word. When the Word of God goes forth, then without fail, it will accomplish that which it is set out to do. That is the truth every child of God must settle in his or her spirit.

Jesus talking about the Word did not mince words and was not intimidated to say “… The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life”. This is His own validation of the potency of His Word. His words are Yea and Amen and forever His words are settled in Heaven. So, what are you building your life on?

The time has come to stand firmly on the Word of God. Remember: what the Word of God cannot give you; 1. You don’t need it and 2. It does not exist. So, hold on firmly to the Word.

What has God promised you in His Word? Can you sit down and take a moment to write down these promises? Write them down, make them into prophecies and declare them over your life until you see them manifest. The Word is true; everything gravitates in the direction of the Word. When God speaks, everything aligns. Nothing and absolutely nothing can stand against the Word. Yes, the word of man will fail, but not the Word of God. No matter how good the intention of man is, man still has limitations. Even the richest man on earth cannot fulfil his word once he is dead; but that is not like the Word of God. The Word of God works, irrespective of person and location. There is Power in the Word of God!

Topic: The Implication Of Being The Light Of The World [Seeds of Destiny Thursday June 28, 2018]

Scripture: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16

Thought For The Day: Being the light means anywhere you step into, things and people are upgraded.

Our Anchor Scripture makes it clear that every child of God is the light of the world. This means, every child of God is light in motion or mobile light. As children of God, we are designed to exist as light in our generation.

Therefore, it is important to look at the function of light:

Light is Critical for Generational Transformation
Light equals development. The difference between the developed and the developing countries is the availability of power or light. Light is a transformer of generations. So, as a Christian, being the light of the world means you are the transformer of you family and the developer of your community and nation. Your appearance equals development, progress, advancement and revolution in your generation. Being the light implies that anywhere you step into, things and people are upgraded.

It is an abomination of creation if things degenerate in your workplace because of your ineptitude. As a child of God, people should know what progress is all about when they see you, they should know what development means by observing your exploits. Anyone who is related or associated with you should be upgraded in life. As a married person, the life of your spouse should be upgraded because of you; your spouse should be organised, co-ordinated, transformed, translated, and transmogrified because of you.
You are the light of the world! You are the revolution your generation is waiting for! You are the transformer of your generation! Everywhere you arrive, revolution or transformation becomes natural.

Beloved, live in the reality of being the light to your generation. Let there be a change that transmits light to your generation, nation, community and family members. Make up your mind not to add to the darkness of this world by the way you live.

Remember this: Being the light means anywhere you step into, things and people are upgraded.

Assignments:
1. Decide to be a true light to your generation.
2. Let your presence provoke change and development.
3. Add value to the lives of people around you.

Prayer: Thank You Lord for Your Word to me today. I receive the grace to be a true light to my generation, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Topic: Ring in a Dumpster [Our Daily Bread 28 Thursday June, 2018]

Read: Matthew 13:44–46, Bible in a Year: Job 11–13; Acts 9:1–21

Seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7

In college, I woke up one morning to find Carol, my roommate, in a panic. Her signet ring was missing. We searched everywhere. The next morning we found ourselves picking through a dumpster.

I ripped open a trash bag. “You’re so dedicated to finding this!”

“I’m not losing a two-hundred-dollar ring!” she exclaimed.

Carol’s determination reminds me of the parable Jesus told about the kingdom of heaven, which “is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field” (Matthew 13:44). Certain things are worth going great lengths to find.

Throughout the Bible, God promises that those who seek Him will find Him. In Deuteronomy, He explained to the Israelites that they would find Him when they turned from their sin and sought Him with all their hearts (4:28–29). In the book of 2 Chronicles, King Asa gained encouragement from a similar promise (15:2). And in Jeremiah, God gave the same promise to the exiles, saying He would bring them back from captivity (29:13–14).

If we seek God, through His Word, worship, and in our daily lives, we will find Him. Over time, we’ll know Him on a deeper level. That will be even better than the sweet moment when Carol pulled her ring out of that trash bag!

Prayer: Lord, help me to seek You with all my heart.

To find God, we must be willing to seek Him.

Topic: Vive la Différence [Kenneth & Gloria Copeland, Thursday June 28, 2018]

If one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. – Ecclesiastes 4:12

There’s power in unity. The devil knows that. That’s why he’s continually fighting it. He takes the differences between us, differences God put there to make us stronger, and tries to use them as a wedge to drive us apart.

Take men and women, for example. He’s deceived us into fighting about which one is superior to the other. But I can settle that argument right now. Women are superior to men. If you don’t believe that, you boys try having a baby. But then, men are superior to women. If you don’t believe that, you women try having one without us.

It’s the differences combined that make us strong!

People have even argued about whether God is male or female. But the Bible itself tells us that. He’s both! That’s right. In the Hebrew language, all words have gender. They’re either male or female. But the Hebrew word Jehovah is both masculine and feminine. He’s as much female as He is male and as much male as He is female.

Originally, mankind was that way too. When God first made “man,” he was as much female as he was male. Then God separated the female part out and made “wo-man” or, “the man with the womb.” After that, man and woman had to come together to be perfectly whole.

That’s still true today. For example, when He puts together husband and wife teams, He often puts people together who have major personality differences. Where one is weak, the other is strong, and vice versa. So, when they become one, they’re more powerful than they ever were apart.

There was a time when I didn’t understand that. I got aggravated with God for calling me a wife who didn’t care for so many things that I liked. But I finally realized God knew what He was doing. If He’d given me a woman who was as nuts about flying as I am, we would have spent the rest of our lives in the clouds. We wouldn’t be preaching the Word. We’d be in some silly air show flying upside down. “The Copeland Team!” or something.

Do you have people in your life who are irritatingly different from you? Don’t let the devil use those differences to drive you apart. Thank God for them! Let Him teach you how to appreciate them. Let Him show you just how powerful you can be…together!
