Word for Today: The Two Basic Requirements.

Ministry of the Word (MOW): True Spirituality (TS)

Memory Verse

“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you” ( John 15:7)

Dearly Beloved

The Word of God is admonishing us of two basic requirements for overflowing provision. What are these ? (1) True believers abiding in the Word (2) The word of God abiding in true believers.

What does it mean to abide? In simple terms, to abide means to obey, to accept, to comply with, to follow, to conform to, to uphold, to adhere to, to respect, to pay attention to, to act in accordance with, to agree with, to dwell with, to cleave to etc.

To some extent, I sense that it’s easier for believers to abide in Christ, meaning they accept, follow, obey, respect Jesus Christ. However, when it comes to the word of God abiding in believers, only few believers in the body of Christ may pass the test. If I may ask you, are the words of God your thoughts, beliefs, and imaginations? Does the word of God guide your life? Do you dream of the word of God? How passionate are you about the word of God? How fond are you of the word of God? Are you pre-occupied with the word of God? Are the words of God in the heart? Is your life controlled by the word of God? What are the predominant contents of the words of your mouth ? According to our Lord Jesus Christ Himself:

“…for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” ( Matthew 12:34). So the

word of your mouth is a reflection of what is in your heart and in your spirit.

Spend valuable time with the word of God. As you abide in the Word of God, let the word of God also abide in you. Then whatever you ask God shall be given to you.

Arise and shine, for your light has come.

Have a blessed new day in Jesus Name.

Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

Thank you Jesus for the grace in your word.

Prayer Point

Father, please give us the grace to abide in you and let your word abide in us in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.

Yours in the Vineyard of Christ.

Word for Today: The Word of God is sincere.

Ministry of the Word (MOW): True Spirituality (TS)

Memory Verse

“And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise” ( Luke 6:31)

Dearly Beloved

Be sincere in your dealing with God and man. The truth is that many people in the church are not sincere. There are many pretenders in the body of Christ. Unfortunately, not many people have spirit of discernment.

Our Lord and Saviour said it all in our memory verse: Do to others as you would like others do to you. If we can follow this single and apparently simple principle, life would be very much enjoyable as there will be much trust in relationships. A senior colleague once suggested to me that I am doing my spirituality in a simplistic way. My response was that there is nothing complex about the word of God. The gospel has been presented to man in a simple way and that may explain why many take the bible for granted. We have to receive the gospel like little children. The Word of God is very sincere and honest . Do not try to play pranks with the Word. Men of God should not present the gospel in a complicated way.

Let us be sincere with the Word. Let’s us be sincere with one another. Let us be honest with one another. Let us be submissive to one another in love:

“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ” (2Corinthian 11:3).

Have a blessed new day in Jesus Name.

Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

Thank you Jesus.

Father, please give us the grace of sincerity in our dealing with you and with men in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.

Word for Today: The Word of God is transparent.

Ministry of the Word (MOW): True Spirituality (TS)

Memory Verse

“And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass” (Revelations 21:18)

Dearly Beloved

The word of God is very transparent. You can see through the word of God. He is absolute light. There is no trace of darkness or secrecy with the Word.

When you watch what is going on in the church today, especially as it relates to how money is handled, there is no doubt that many powerful ‘men of God’ will fail the transparency test. Do you ever wonder why the pastor’s wife if often the treasurer in the church? Recently, a friend of mine was reminding me that in some churches the pastor does not even trust his wife when it comes to keeping money!

How transparent are you in life? As a Christian, do you think you can hide anything from Christ? What are those things you are hiding to do that you don’t want those close to you to know? Husbands, what are those things you are doing which you don’t want your wives to know and vice versa? What about about the oneness that God Himself had desire in the beginning ( Genesis 2:24)?

Nothing is hidden in heaven. The Word of God is perfectly transparent, open, honest, compassionate and faithful. He is the truth. We should aim to be like Him.

“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).

Be transparent in everything you do. You can hide nothing from Jesus.

Have a blessed new day.

Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

Thank you Jesus .

Father, please give us the grace to be transparent in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.

Yours in the Vineyard of Christ.

Word for Today: Only the truth can make us free indeed.

Ministry of the Word (MOW): True Spirituality (TS)

Memory Verse

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32).

Dearly Beloved

Many people are in bondage, but unfortunately, they don’t know it. There are levels of bondage, just as there are levels of freedom. The worse form of bondage is spiritual bondage. Many people in one form of spiritual bondage or the other can go to great extent to explain that they are not in bondage. Spiritual ignorance is a big factor to being in spiritual bondage. The word of God says:

“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).

You may ask, freedom from what? Freedom from all semblance of darkness such as fear, doubt, distress, pains, poverty of any kind, frustration, anger, hopelessness, fruitless efforts etc .

As a son of God, it’s your responsibility to be free indeed. Embrace the truth in the word of God right now and be free indeed. You know that the Truth is no other person than our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life ( John 14:6).

Have a blessed new day of perfection.

Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

Thank you Jesus for the grace in your word.

Prayer Point

Father, please set me free indeed according to your word in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.

Yours in the Vineyard of Christ.
