FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD

  FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD Romans 5:1-11 Devotional:- “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (V. 10)  As a kingdom citizen please known that God wants to be your best friend. This is because intimacy is part of your act of worship. It is true that God is our maker and redeemer yet he wants to be our friend. Remember we were made to live continually in God’s presence but it is sin that makes us loose that (Gen 3, Roman 3:23)  In our scripture for today we saw that it was grace through the sacrifice of the cross that gives us access to friendship with God (2 Corinthians 5:18). Our friendship with God does not mean casual acquaintance but close and trusted relationships just like the best man in a wedding. In the palace the servant must keep their distance from the king but there are some people in circle of intimate and trusted friends with the king. They enjoy free an...

MANTLE

MANTLE 

2 Kings 2:9-15
Devotional:- “Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, "Where is the LORD God of Elijah?" And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over” (V.14) NKJV

   

     It is necessary to note that the mysteries of God look so ordinary to people of no understanding. Some of the things that have kept us from the power of God are religion, tradition, and human philosophy. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God (1 Corinthians 1:8). One of such neglected vessels of power is the mantle. These are materials that have contacted the anointing of God having contacted the anointed. The anointing flows when a Spirit-filled believer allows the Holy Spirit to flow through them.

You need to know that God’s anointing can be likened to perfume, oil, or electricity current. That is why whatever the anointed man touches can carry a portion of the anointing. Understand that the anointing is transferable by relationship (Proverbs 13:20). The handkerchief of Elijah that dropped became the vessel of miracles. Also, the woman with the issue of blood touched the cloth of Jesus and was healed (Matthew 9:20-22). Paul’s handkerchief was also sent to heal people (Act 19:11-12).

Do not despise these mysteries. Locate the anointed men of God and tap into this grace in their lives. These are men who carry the presence of God always with evidence of signs and wonders. Anytime you need healing or a miracle, stand or sit where your pastor stands or sits by faith. And you shall be delivered. Whatever the mantle touches come back to life (2 Kings 13:20-21). When this is done by faith you are too sure of your miracle.

Prayer: Lord, grant me a simple heart to live by faith
