DAY 20: DIVINE DIRECTION I

-

THE RHEMA WORD FOR TODAY
(A DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM)

TOPIC: DIVINE DIRECTION I
DATE: 20 SEPTEMBER, 2019
BIBLE READING: LUKE 18:18-23
MEDITATION/MEMORY VERSE: PSALM 37:23 (AMPC)
The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step].

The ‘good’ man mentioned here is not one that practises goodness, but one that substantiates goodness. To act ‘good’ is not being good, but living in goodness is it. To act ‘good’ is hypocrisy. An example from the scriptures is the case of the rich young ruler from our Bible reading.
He has been keeping the law; acting ‘good’ and righteous, through his own effort. But Jesus Christ showed him one way to substantiate goodness— letting go (of your own ability of being good) and letting God (of His own ability of being good; working in you).
Philippians 2:13
For it is God who works in you to will and act in order to fulfil his good purpose.
Letting go, and letting God is a proof of submission and humility towards God. A submissive and a humble man will always find directions. Until you humble yourself and confess the Lord as your shepherd, you will not be led beside still waters and you will not be led in the paths of righteousness (Ps. 23:1-3).

ACTION POINT: I DROP MY PRIDE TO SUMBIT TO HIS LORDHIP FOR DIRECTIONS.
PRAYER POINT: O DEAR GOD, PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR SEEKING FOR DIRECTIONS BY MY OWN STRENGTH. HELP ME TO YIELD TO YOU ALWAYS BY YOUR SPIRIT SO THAT I CAN FIND DIRECTIONS FOR MY DAILY WALK.
PERSONAL READING: PROVERBS 3:5-7

Hosea‬ ‭2:23‬ ‭GNB I will establish my people in the land and make them prosper. I will show love to those who were called “Unloved”, and to those who were called “Not-my-People” I will say, “You are my people,” and they will answer, “You are our God.” The Lord is about to prosper us in all areas of our life, but He must first establish us in Him. It is until we're established in Him, our prosperity will have no root to last long. The Lord has said to us, “I will establish you.” Another area of God's establishment this year is in the area of His love. Ephesians 3:17 NIV So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love. The Lord has said to us, “I will uproot every plant that I have not planted. And get you rooted and established in My love.” (Matt. 15:13; Eph. 3:17). Falsehood will die as Truth will thrive. Every wind of doctrine will vanish, because the full knowledge of Christ will be established.  Strange practi

 PHRONESIS DEVOTIONAL 30 DAYS DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM September 22, 2023. Topic: TRUE RICHES Bible Reading: Matthew 6:19-34 Verse for Meditation: 1 Timothy 6:6 NLT Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. About sexual temptation, if you are struggling to break free, you must first be saved so that you can be given the Holy Spirit to empower you to live above sin. But breaking free and living constantly above sin; especially sexual sins, it take discipline and consistency. You don’t stay fit on the first day you go to the gym to work out; it takes consistent exercise and discipline to achieve that, so does exercising ourselves towards godliness (1Tim. 4:7). When you fall, you need to rise again to continue with the exercise. It was a constant practice that made that sexual habit called addiction. So you need to deliberately keep at it constantly till the appetite to sin dies. Spiritual attack is real, but what we call spiritual attack is actually a lack of knowle

I John 5:4-5 [4]For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

Our last year theme—our subject of discussion for last year was “WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF CHRIST.” And we shared some lovely articles that correlate with that theme.
