12PM TO 3:30PM
THEME: WALKING IN THE SPIRIT.
CONTINUATION.
Good day friends.
The LORD JESUS CHRIST said in John 10:10b Amplified bible;
"..I came that they may have and enjoy life and have it in abundance.."
He also said..
"..It takes more than bread to stay alive it takes a steady stream of words from God's mouth" Matthew 4:4(MSG). Some other versions says that man shall not live...but by every word that proceeds from God's mouth.
The Lord Jesus came to give us abundant life according to John 10:10. And according to Matthew 4:4, you LIVE this abundant life given to you by Jesus, by daily listening to God speak to you. Note that MSG said STEADY STREAM OF WORDS. That means CONSISTENCY.
So this abundant life that JESUS has come to give you according to John 10:10, you live this abundant life and Even enjoy this life by walking in the Spirit (following His leading) according to Matthew 4:4.
Below are the benefits of walking in the Holy Spirit;
1. It brings you out of hopeless situations that seem to make you doubt the potency of the LORD.
STORY. (Read Isaiah 36:1-2 and 15-18)
In the Book of Isaiah 36, the Bible tells us of a certain man named Sennacherib, the King of Assyria. This man came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and he took them! A fortified city is a city with high walls to strengthen it against attacks. But the fortified CITIES of Judah were all conquered by Sennacherib! Then King Sennacherib sent out the Rabshakeh, the military officer and personal representative, he sent him out to King Hezekiah in Jerusalem. When the military officer got there, these are the words he spoke to the Jews in Jerusalem: "Do not let Hezekiah deceive you because he will not be able to deliver you(from the king of Assyria, Sennacherib), neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD".
The military officer was already weakening the faith of the Jews who were expected to trust in the LORD.
What does this mean?
No matter the devil's threat in your life or in that of your family, your financial life or your Spiritual life, no matter how hopeless that situation may look, don't doubt the potency of God upon your life. Don't let the devil cause you to lose your trust in the LORD!.. Instead seek to hear from God and whatever God says in that situation will STAND and you will see the manifestation. How do we know this?
Look at what God said about the situation in Isaiah 37:33-35. And see what eventually happened in Isaiah 37:36-38.
Friends of Jesus, WALK IN the Spirit! Seek to hear what God says about that situation and whatever God says, no matter how worse the situation may appear, His word will STAND and you will come out victoriously! The only difference is that Hezekiah heard from the Lord through the prophet Isaiah. But in this new dispensation of Grace, JESUS has qualified you to hear from GOD personally by yourself.
2. Looking at the book of 1st Samuel 30, the Amalekites invaded Ziklag and burnt down the city, taking away the women and children Including the two wives of David. But King David strengthened himself in the Lord His God and He inquired of the Spirit of God. That is a man who walks with the Spirit. He understood that walking with the Spirit, following the leading of the Holy Spirit will bring about a solution to the ugly challenge he was facing.
He asked the Lord about pursuing the troop and overtaking them and the LORD told him to go ahead. The LORD additionally said that David will recover all without failing (1st Samuel 30:7-8) and David recovered ALL! (1st Samuel 30:18-20).
Whatever the LORD TElls you concerning a particular challenge you may be having, That word is FINAL. He will help you come out victoriously because He is full of truth.
