Topic: Surviving on every word that God speaks

Highlights:

Jesus answered, "Scripture says, 'A person cannot live on bread alone but on every word that God speaks.'" St. Matthew 4:4

Jesus was hungry, he had just fasted forty days and forty nights and was lead to be tempted in the desert. Some people would have blamed the leadership of heaven why will the Spirit ask them to go to the desert at such particular time. First of all we have to understand why desert

It reflects something in Jesus's life that is cold, meaningless, unenjoyable, or lack respect. Feeling empty inside or that nobody cares about Him. Endless or unbearable boredom. Feelings about a situation being barren, or stark. An enduring kind of deprivation. A longing for life to be fresh and fertile again.

The Spirit is likewise foretelling Jesus that He is moving into a new zone where anybody could be His worst enemy within a twinkle of an eye. He will experience situations that seem empty, unbearable or pointless. Situations of betrayal, denial and death.

If you find yourself in a deserting situation, remember to be equipped like Jesus Christ. Before the angels comes the tempter. So what must be your first priority in mind?

That for you to be fulfilled in life, you need not only 'bread' but every words that God speaks. This could only happen to you by having the Holy Spirit - "the Spirit of Truth" dwelling in the interior part of you according to John 16:13

Only those who are born again and sanctified can have the Spirit that speaks the truth of God's word.

Life is a desert to those who have aims and ambition given from God. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour if you have not done so - surrender your life to Jesus and ask him to give you the Holy Spirit, and if you are already a born again Christian, please continue walking in the way of light. Read your Bible everyday to learn more about Jesus and Holy Spirit. Let God bless His Word in your life and make it grow on a fertile soil Matthew 13:8. Amen

Prayer: Blessed Holy Spirit of Christ lead me out as a winner from the desert of life to the throne of grace today in Jesus Name. Amen
