THE CRY OF THE SPIRIT DEVOTIONALS – BY RICHARD E. S. TAKIM

TODAY’S DEVOTION (Saturday 11th July 2020)

“Defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy; free them from the hand of the wicked.”

“They do not know, nor do they understand; they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are unstable.”

“I said, “You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High. But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.” Psalms 82:3-7 NKJV

WELCOME TO THE 191st DAY OF OUR YEAR OF REJOICING

The greatest destruction of humanity usually comes from being in the dark. For instance, the Corona Virus is killing people because people are in the dark of what kills it. Those who are profiting from it prefers people being in the dark of whatever will kill the virus.

I remember when president trump presented a drug that can weaken the virus at its early stage, I also remember the attack that was launched at him by the left wing media. But today, its has been proven that he was right after all. Perhaps if the media had not moved against him, many souls would have been saved by the drug.

Is it not unfortunate that people simply love seeing others dying? It is incredibly sad for our world! That is why being in the dark about something important is one thing that should never happen to any human on the face of the earth.

If I consider what we are learning in our ongoing Morning Cloud Tv Apostolic Truth Summit, what really means to be in Christ, the words of the prophet Hosea become more alive in my spirit. Indeed, we the elects are destroyed for lack of incredibly significant knowledge of GOD’s word and ways.

To be in the dark means to be ignorant of something or to be in a state of not being aware of something. The Bible says man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. The reason is because, the greatest killer of ignorance and the worst enemy of people who keep others in the dark is what proceeds from the mouth of GOD.

GOD LIVES AND HE SPEAKS! HE SPEAKS IN LIGHT SO THAT WHATEVER IS IN THE DARK CAN BE EXPOSED AND DESTROYED.

What I am trying to share is, God is always speaking. The throne room of God is constantly emanating light, understanding, voices, visions, and revelations to the earth.

That is why those who are connected to it do not walk in the dark concerning the matters life. They usually know God’s immediate present will concerning every issue standing before them, they are constantly animated with communication from His throne room to know.

You see, words are constantly proceeding from Heaven to the earth. It is just that we are too weak to pick them accurately.

Precious words are constantly proceeding from Heaven to the earth. The entrance of such words is what breaks down and become prophecies, visions, revelations, instructions, directives, insights, light and understanding in the hearts of those who receive them.

The Bible spoke about a generation that understands the times and know what Israel ought to do. God wants us to be part of that generation. I have met quite several believers that are part of it already. They know which kind of messages that ought to be preached now. They know the kind of preachers we no longer need. They know the kind of churches that people should not attend, and the ones people should attend.

They know our times and season and what the Church ought to do because they are in constant touch with what is going on in the throne room of God. In other words, they are in constant touch with God’s proceeding word!

It is this generation we call in prophetic parlance “THE SONS OF ISSACHAR.” God does not want us to be in the dark concerning anything in His plans for our lives or the planet in general. He wants us to be the sons of Issachar of our generation.

But let us look at our devotional text today!

Our devotional text today is a unique one because it speaks of our divinity. It is full of truths we cannot unearth in a devotional. But Jesus came to die, first to restore us back to God, and second to restore back God likeness to us – what we lost at the fall.

THE TRUTH IS, WE WERE CREATED “GOD-IN-MAN” BUT AFTER THE FALL WE LOST EVERYTHING.

But as earlier stated, Jesus has come and has restored us back. But most of us are still operating as fallen men because we “know not.” In other words, because we are in the dark of things that ought to be revealed to us so we can operate as God-in-man again.

Biblical revelation is what grants men access and bring them into finished things in the kingdom of God. Without Biblical revelation we will not be able to operate as God-in-man again like the first and second Adam did. God in man is what make saved and sanctified people small G on the face of the earth.

A major highlight in our devotional says,

They do not know, nor do they understand; they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are unstable. I said, “You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High. But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.”

The greatest killer of men is simply “not knowing.” If you do not know who you are in Christ Jesus, you will never be able to press into it and become what God wants you to become.

If you do not know that a woman you are about marrying is already married or pregnant for another man, you will suffer for not knowing. If you do not know that the water you are about drinking has been poisoned, you will die for not knowing. If you do not know your future, you will destroy it before you get there.

If you do not know that the marriage you are about entering into will crash Irredeemably in five years or less, you will pay the price of not knowing.

If you do not know that the man you call “Papa” or “my Prophet” is a medium and silent agent of darkness, you will perish for not knowing; like the young prophet from Judah in 1 kings 13 perished.

If you do not know that your church has become a gate of hell on earth, you will keep financing it until your source of income is consumed by the judgments of God.
If you do not know what the Bible says about an issue of life you will suffer for not knowing.

WE CAN GO ON AND ON. PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR NOT KNOWING!

Many do not know that Jesus is the only way to Heaven, hence following man made religions in the hope that it will be well with them after death.

A lot in church today do know that there is a false grace that is taking people to hell. There are people who do not know that they should set their lives in order now, because they have less than 3 years to live.

Not knowing is the greatest killer of men – in and outside the Church. In fact, it is the reason people go to hell! That is why God’s is raising apostolic and prophetic teaching ministries to kill the scourge of not knowing. He does not want us to live in a state of not knowing.

Our problems are not really our problems. Our problems are simply “not knowing.” That is why men who live in THE STATE OF KNOWING have a way of getting their problems solved to the glory of God.

It is therefore important that you start living in a state of knowing as a child of God.

I have said this repeatedly that we cannot be serving the “all knowing God” and be leading a “not knowing life.” It is an abnormality. We must wake up to God’s likeness – the supernatural realm of knowing – one of our heritage in Christ Jesus.

MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE BE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR THE DAY;

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with my eye. Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you.” Psalms 32:8-9 NKJV
