Who Told You, You are Naked?

Topic: "Who Told You, You Are Naked?"

Highlight:

“Who told you that you were naked?” the Lord God asked. “Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?” Genesis 3:11 NLT‬

In the story from Genesis, God asked Adam and Eve, "Who told you that you were naked?" This question is about more than just physical nakedness; it's about feeling exposed and vulnerable before God. When we engage in things that distance us from God, it creates a sense of shame and guilt that makes us feel spiritually naked.

God is always present in our lives, but when we allow forbidden things to influence us, we become blind to His presence and focused only on our shortcomings and distractions. This spiritual nakedness is a result of forbidden seeds that grow within us, causing us to feel separated from God.

Instead of confessing our spiritual nakedness, we should focus on God's power and ability to transform any situation for our benefit. We should pray for spiritual adornment and alignment with God's presence, rather than wallowing in feelings of shame and inadequacy.

Remember, the more we dwell on our spiritual nakedness, the further we drift from God's presence. Let us instead choose to praise God and seek His covering in all aspects of our lives. Stay strong, keep praying, and trust in God's ability to guide and protect you. Let us not allow distractions to pull us away from God's grace.

Prayer: Dear God, clothe me in Your spiritual presence and lead me on the path of righteousness. Amen.

Should we give the praise of God to science or technology or men? The answer is No! Whenever you want to bring down His glory, sing His praise and worship Him be ause God desire worshippers who worship in Spirit and in Truth. John 4:23 You will see God's glory. Do not fight for your own glory but give Him all the glory neither give His glory to any other. When you do things that way and give God the glory He deserves in your knowledge, no matter the challenge you are up against,He will come down to fight and win your battles.

But the Lord came down to look at the city and the tower the people were building.

Topic: Mere Confession of a believer

‭It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.” Matthew 15:11 NLT‬

All for the Realm

Topic: All for the Realm


Highlight:
‭‭
It is exactly as the Scriptures say, “For you we face death all day long. We are like sheep on their way to be butchered.” Romans 8:36 CEVDCI‬‬


In the book of Romans, the apostle Paul paints a vivid picture of the struggles and triumphs we face as believers in Christ. In Romans 8:36, Paul draws upon the words of Psalm 44:22 to highlight the hardships and challenges faced by Christians in their daily lives.

As we journey through this life, we are often faced with trials, tribulations, and oppositions that seek to undermine our faith and deter us from our calling. We may encounter persecution, rejection, and ridicule because of our dedication to Christ. Yet, in the midst of these challenges, we can take comfort in knowing that we are not alone in our struggles. Just as the early Christians faced persecution and even death for their beliefs, we too may encounter hardships for the sake of the Gospel. But it is in these moments of trial and adversity that our faith is tested and refined, and our commitment to Christ is strengthened.

Our sacrifices, our struggles, and our commitment to Christ are all for the greater purpose of advancing God's kingdom and glorifying His name.

As we face the challenges and trials of this world, let us remember that our sufferings are not meaningless

‭‭We live in this world, but we don't act like its people. 2 corinthians10.3

Prayer: God I love the realms of Your Holy Spirit to keep me and to guide me to be in tunes with Jesus my Lord always. Amen

The sum of Faith

 

An Emoji Devotional for Wed 13th March 2024

Topic: The sum of Faith

Highlight:

‭‭So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 KJV‬‬

You have to hear something that will brood your faith. However faith is not just about hearing just anything. It is by hearing the word of God. This means that some words could motivate you but that word may not produce faith. What produce faith is the word of God. The WORD of God are the things God has said. Only one person has that name, 'The WORD' and that is Jesus.

Sum your faith to Listening to Jesus. Jesus said by a very little Faith you can move mountains. But you must hear the word of God before you can produce that little faith.

How do you hear the word of God to produce that little faith? By listening to Jesus. By reading about Jesus and by speaking about Jesus. And ensuring you overcome Matthew 15:11.

You must put Matthew 15:11 into the Highlight of your destiny because at a moment of lightening there is a Miranda warning "Anything you say can and will be used against you" OR "Anything you say can and will very used in your favour".

The lightening sums up the direction and life span of your destiny and that is why you must ensure you make Matthew 15:11 your rebuttal watchword at the very crucial moment of your life.

‭‭Matthew 15:11 NIV‬‬

What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”

So the right reposition on this matter is this conclusion that:
Faith comes 'out of your mouth' by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

‭‭
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16 KJV‬‬

The First Step to your Faith: You must give your life to Christ and confess Christ as your Lord and Savior and Confess that you will begin to read and listen to Christ messages from now onwards.

Prayer: Many times I have bowed to confessing my fears but from now on by the force of Christ power in His Word I reposition my destiny to confess my faith in God's word in Jesus name. AMEN.
