THE RHEMA WORD FOR TODAY (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM) TOPIC: BURNING THE BRIDGES DATE: 19 SEPTEMBER, 2019 BIBLE READING: 1 KINGS 19:19-21 MEDITATION/MEMORY VERSE: LUKE 9:23 (AMP) And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross daily [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]. To ‘burn the bridges,’ means to cut off every form of connection or relationship with someone or something. That is, it is a sign of saying, ‘NO GOING BACK,’ ‘NO ALTERNATIVE PLAN.’ When Elijah casted his mantle upon Elisha, the son of Shaphat, the prophetic power came upon him. By that single act, Elijah gave him a new identity and set him apart for a prophetic mission. Earlier in verse 16 from 1st Kings 19, God had told to anoint Elisha as a ...

 PHRONESIS DEVOTIONAL 30 DAYS DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM September 18, 2023. Topic: WINNING THE WAR AGAINST JEZEBEL I (SPIRITUAL WARFARE) Bible Reading: Ephesians 6:10-18 Verse for Meditation: 2 Corinthians 10:4 NKJV For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds. Winning the war against Jezebel? Are we to engage ourselves in any warfare? And who is Jezebel that we are to war against? The first place in the Bible where warfare is mentioned is in Isaiah 40:2. Isaiah 40:2 NKJV “Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her, that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned; for she has received from the LORD’s hand double for all her sins.” The first place where warfare is mentioned in the Bible was used in the context of an ended warfare because Jerusalem’s iniquity was pardoned. So does that mean that the moment we got saved, every kind of warfare ended? But Apostle Paul’s second letter to the church in Corinth, he mentioned t...

DAY 25: GOD CHOSE ESTHER

  THE RHEMA WORD FOR TODAY (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM)   TOPIC: GOD CHOSE ESTHER DATE: 25 SEPTEMBER, 2020 BIBLE READING: ESTHER 2 MEDITATION/MEMORY VERSE: MATTHEW 22:14 (AMP) For many are called (invited, summoned), but few are chosen.   Our verse for meditation agrees to the event that we just read; many were called, invited and summoned, but only Esther was chosen in place of Queen Vashti. This can be likened to the events in Song of Solomon; how King Solomon chose a foreigner of the land of Israel, as his wife (SOS 6:8-9; 1:9). Our Bible reading says, ‘Esther, along with other young women.’ (Esth. 2:8), which may be the writer of the book of Esther kept her nationality a secret. A foreigner of the land of Persia was chosen. Also, just like the book of Song of Solomon, there is no mention of the name of God; but we can see the hand of god, how God worked it out for Esther to be the Queen, ‘He controls the course of world event; he removes ...
