STAND IN

  STAND IN 1 Timothy 2:1-7  Devotional:- “Here are my directions: Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all he is going to do for them.” (v.1) TLB . When God lifts a man, such a man must have enjoyed the intercessory ministry of others. It is part of the principle of God for us to receive (Matthew 7:7). This is because He does not want to break into our free will and damage our choice. He does not want to break into our decision. That is why we say it sometimes when an event happens, "Did God not see it?” Until He is asked to do something, He finds it difficult to do it. Rather, if He wants to promote a man and the man is not aware, He will touch other people to pray for him.  That is why you and I must also be willing to pray and stand in the gap for others.

GOD ON EARTH

GOD ON EARTH

Joel 2:27-32
Devotional:- "And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions” (V. 28)

    God gave His word to His people through Prophet Joel that He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh. This prophecy became fulfilled from the day of Pentecost. Before this time, the Spirit of the Lord rested on few people who are used by the Lord to carry out different assignments for God. God gave a promise that He will pour out His Spirit on all to cone to be on earth and live on earth through men.

Since the day of Pentecost, God the Holy Spirit has been permanent on the earth just like Jesus was on the earth physically at a time. The strong revelation here is that God is on earth in men. This is a mystery that God is on earth through human vessel (1Corinthians 3:16). That is why you as a spirit filled believer should know that you are a divine vessel of God.

Friend, wherever you are, God is there through you. It will therefore be wrong and grieving to the Holy Spirit by living as mere men (Ephesians 4:30). Many have grieved Him because they do not understand Him. Many take Him to be for the church time, outside that, they live as men and disobey the Holy Spirit at will. Please recognize you are a carrier of God. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to recognize you in me always.

“The world has not known God because you have not known Him”
