TODAY’S DEVOTION (Monday 9TH November 2020)
“For a long time Israel has been without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law; but when in their trouble they turned to the Lord God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found by them.
And in those times there was no peace to the one who went out, nor to the one who came in, but great turmoil was on all the inhabitants of the lands.
So nation was destroyed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every adversity. 2 Chronicles 15:3-6 NKJV
WELCOME TO THE 312TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF REJOICING
Yes, oooo, from REJOCING to HIGHER HEIGHTS. I am so excited! I wonder what people are doing outside Jesus Christ. I wonder what people are doing in empty religion. Jesus is the sweetest Friend to have. If you are not doing His will, you should be pitied.
Can you imagine how He has moved us from REJOICING to HIGHER HEIGHTS? This is amazing! Which god can do all these that our great GOD is doing for us. I see you at the top, in Jesus precious name!
Where else should you be receiving the choices meal from the LORD from March that we went into lock down? Where else should you be after sitting down for 50 days in September and October for the baptism of the Spirit of prophecy?
Where do you think you should be at the end of the ongoing Prophetic Apostolic Training Schools? At the top off course, soaring high and high like the eagle. That is why I do not consider the lock down a lock down for us. It is a season for Eagle hood development, and hallelujah, we have been developed!
I consider the invitation to come and be fed the word the greatest invitation of God to the human race. It is an act of mercy in itself, from the GOD who does not deal with us according to our sins but according to His tender mercies.
Indeed,
“It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God'” (Luke 4:4 NKJV).
We were kept alive this year by what we fed on, because it is what you eat that will eat you. If you eat the word of GOD, He will eat you until there will be no place in your life for Satan to eat.
THE MOST FRUITFUL ACTIVITY IN GOD’S KINGDOM IS SPIRITUAL FEEDING.
A large percentage of the Bible is a call to spiritual feeding. Spiritual feeding takes place in the place of studying or and training in the things of GOD. It takes place when we get down to reason with God through His word. In fact, God said to mankind through His prophet Isaiah,
“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword”; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken” Isaiah 1:18-20 NKJV
Reasoning together with GOD is one way we are fed by Him.
In simple terms, our spirits are fed whenever we sit down with God to reason together with Him through corporate or private study of the Bible. So the call to come reason together with the LORD is a call to be fed spiritually. Sadly, so many are yet to obey this call.
That is why you find them devoured by the sword of their enemies.
The Bible says if we are willing to be fed, and are obedient enough to make spiritual feeding our highest priority in our Christian life, we shall eat the good of the land. The good of the land is not just the earthly blessings of the nation or City of our residence. That is what it was to the nation of Israel. But to us the spiritual nation of Israel, it is more than that.
The land is no longer just a natural land but Christ Himself. David said “the LORD is my portion in the land of the living.” Christ is the portion of all who are truly saved in a wicked world like ours.
The good of the land therefore, is the riches of God’s Mercy, the riches of His grace and the riches of His glory. The very riches we enjoy at “the Cry of the Spirit Ministries.” Hallelujah!
In simple terms, the good of the LORD for the saved and sanctified is the blessings of knowing Christ and making Him your portion in the land of the living; a blessing that can only come through proper spiritual feeding (the riches of His mercies, the riches of His grace, and the riches of His glory).
SADLY, MANY SAVED AND SANCTIFIED PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THESE THREE-FOLD BLESSING IN THEIR LIVES.
They have the labels on their lips but do not have the content. They do not have the content because they have not plugged into God’s spiritual feeding program. Until we plug into God’s proper feeding program, we will not be saved from the sword of our enemies. Until we plug to GOD’s spiritual feeding program, we can never step into certain kingdom blessings.
A lot in the Kingdom of God depends on what you are feeding on! Yes, a lot in your relationship with God depends on what you are feeding on. If a relationship with God is not productive check your attitudes to spiritual feeding or the quality of what you are feeding on.
Like we have noted in this devotionals before, there is a spiritual feeding program of God for the human race, especially the end time Church. You will never enjoy the good of knowing Christ until you plug into this program, and begin to draw your spiritual daily food from it.
I said it before now I am repeating it again; If there is any time to quit Churches where they do not feed you properly, but practice charismatic witchcraft and sorcery on you, it is now!
A pastor, prophet, apostle, or priests who lack capacity to properly feed you spiritually will always be feeding ON you. Apart from feeding on you, he or she will be filling your spirit with deadly things like revelations of the depth of Satan, divination, sorcery, secular humanism, humanistic philosophies, and etc. In the name of deliverance, they will be asking you for money, or asking you to sleep with them, or use sand, salt, brooms, clothes, water, mustard seeds, and etc to pray.
The easiest way to rebel against God’s call “to come and be fed” is to get stuck to one heretic teacher, lying prophet or prophetess, or get hooked up to a Church that does not feed you properly but take away all your monies properly.
THAT IS WHY YOU CANNOT FIND A CHRISTIAN GENERATION THAT REBELLED AGAINST SPIRITUAL FEEDING THAT ESCAPED ON THE SWORD OF THEIR ENEMIES.
It is the good of the land transmitted into our live through God’s spiritual feeding program that saves us from the sword of our enemies. It is the same blessing that has what it takes to save us from the consequences of our carnal and sinful decisions.
Heaven knows that since we left the Garden of Eden, spiritual malnutrition has been our greatest spiritual diseases. That is why you see “proper spiritual feeding program” by the hands of God’s teaching priest (prophets and apostles) in every deployment of God’s mercy in His redemptive plans.
No Child of GOD can successfully pass through a season of no “proper spiritual feeding” without losing one thing or the other. That is why, whenever God deploy mercy to a people, He will get them plugged to any ministry that is part of His feeding program on earth.
In fact out devotional text tells us what happened to Israel one season of their lives when there were no men and women of GOD to feed them properly in the things of God. It says,
“For a long time Israel has been without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law; but when in their trouble they turned to the Lord God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found by them.
And in those times there was no peace to the one who went out, nor to the one who came in, but great turmoil was on all the inhabitants of the lands.
So nation was destroyed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every adversity.”
If you look at this scripture carefully you will see a nation of God’s people living in a time and season where there was no proper spiritual feeding program for them. It says
“For a long time Israel has been without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law.”
The first consequence was a need based relationship with God. Meaning, God was only important to them when there were in trouble. That sound like our generation today!
The next consequence was more grievous – the Bible says nation was destroyed by nation, city be City for GOD trouble them with every adversity. This is also true of many in our generation. Because of lack of a proper spiritual feeding program, they cannot find peace in their cities, Churches, marriages, businesses, families, finances, etc. They move from Church to Church and place to place looking for succor but finds none.
Friend, the absence of proper spiritual program today is the reason for every woe in the life of believers.
Even many of your reading this had no proper spiritual program until you stumble into these devotionals which are part of God’s global spiritual feeding program. If God brings a spiritual feeding program your way, you must open up your spirit to receive it into your life to experience the blessing!
The great call of the God on you is to be fed properly and being in the Cry of the Spirit ministries is an opportunity from the LORD to you.
Don’t forget, whenever mercy says “no” over a people in perils, God will connect them to a spiritual feeding program to heal, deliver, then raise and build them up to do His blessed will.
LET THIS SCRIPTURE BE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR YOUR TODAY!
“And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the Lord, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Lord: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
“At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.” Jeremiah 3:15-17 KJV
