Oluwafemi .The Word of God is a light to my Path.

  The Fountain of Life Memorize and Meditate “ It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. ” (John 6:63) We need Jesus Christ’s Word for life, for they are the way the Spirit of God works inside of us. His Word is living and powerful, and it works inside those who receive it as the Word of God and trust it to work in them. In fact, when it is humbly planted in one’s heart, the Word of God is able to save the soul. Soak your Heart No wonder the Word tells us to desire the “milk” of the Word as newborn babes so we can grow up in our salvation. Without food a baby cannot grow. Without the Word of God we cannot grow in the knowledge and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. As we soak our heart in the Word of God, we grow from the increase that comes from God. Sow to the Spirit Let us acknowledge in our prayers that it is God’s Word that gives power for living the Christian life. Let us acknowledge that our flesh, i...

  He Knows You “The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knows those who take refuge in Him.” —Nahum 1:7 Father God is omniscient; He knows everybody. But I’m not talking about Him knowing us in the objective sense. I’m talking about Him knowing us intimately and tenderly. He resists the proud, but He knows everyone who seeks to take refuge in Him with a sincere and humble heart. When we come to Abba as a child, He stoops down because He is tender and sensitive. When we come to Him to take refuge in Him, He meets us in that place. He knows us. The Lord is looking to and fro across the earth for someone who will come to Him and truly rely on Him to be their God. As you and I come to the Lord with our weaknesses, with our problems, with our needs, with our sin, with our fears and everything else that concerns us, and we open our souls to Him, looking to Him to be our help, He is eager to be our Helper. You can be assured not just that He knows who you are in a gen...

  God’s Favor is Life! Memorize and Meditate “ For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the Lord. ” (Proverbs 8:35) Wisdom is what you and I want to find. If we find the right kind of wisdom we find life and favor from God. We know the wisdom of the world is foolishness to God. We know the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. We know the wisdom of this world and the rulers of this world are coming to nothing. So we have a decision to make. Soak your Heart We want to soak our heart in the wisdom of God because it transforms the way we think and our attitude about what is going on in this world. The world seeks all that is in the process of perishing. We seek an imperishable crown. Sow to the Spirit Solomon asked for wisdom. Moses asked God to show him his ways, so he could know him and find grace and favor in God’s sight. This is what differentiates us from the rest of the world: God’s grace and favor. We seek that wisdom from above, becau...

  Put Others First “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves.” —Philippians 2:3 This is a really challenging word because the flesh is naturally selfish. That’s true for me, and it’s true for you. To give you an example, consider this question. When you get hungry, do you eat for somebody else or for yourself? You eat for yourself. When you sleep, do you sleep for somebody else or for yourself? You see, by nature, the flesh is selfish; it seeks to provide for its own needs. And while on the earth we will always have an animal or fleshly nature. It is part of our makeup. This is true of all of us, but God is asking us to transcend the power of the flesh and our own naturally selfish disposition and practice serving other people, even though it might not feel good to us. Let’s remember, however, that just because it doesn’t feel good to us doesn’t mean it’s not the right thing to do. Philippians 2:4 t...

  The Converterlator Mindset Memorize and Meditate “ Riches don’t last forever, and the crown might not be passed to the next generation. ” (Proverbs 27:24) “ These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. ” (1 Peter 1:7) Soak your Heart Because we live in a perishing world, we “converterlators” must continually soak our hearts in the fact that earthly goals will pass away, along with riches, titles, positions, inheritances – all material things. Only what God guarantees will last forever. We cannot remind ourselves enough of the instruction the Word of God gives about meditating on his Word: “ Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything writte...

  Tell of the Decree of the Lord “I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, “You are My Son, today I have begotten You.”” —Psalm 2:7 Psalm 2 is a Messianic psalm that gives us sight into both David’s (the psalm’s author) and Messiah Jesus’ heart. And what do we see? The resolve to “tell of the decree of the Lord”—to be bold witnesses for HaShem in the earth. Psalm 19 tells us that the heavens and earth declare the glory of God, that they give forth speech. What words are they declaring? The stars above, the moon, the sun, and the seas—they’re all screaming out, “God is glorious! God is beautiful! God is alive and He is wonderful and good!” You and I have been created to make His decrees known in the world as well. There’s no such thing as a silent believer, because when someone is passionately in love with God, His praise is going to just come out of their life as if by osmosis. They won’t be able to stop it because it’s naturally who they are. Don’t let the enem...
