TODAY’S DEVOTION (Monday 6th January 2025)
“Open the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in. You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:2-3 NKJV
WELCOME TO THE 6TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF VICTORY.
The LORD has been so good to us. We appreciate Him for starting this week for us with an amazing Church service yesterday. He made the 6th day of the year a day we stepped in with a freshness of His presence, and that is very significant.
The number six reminds me of the day man was created. Man was created on the sixth day of creation. The number also reminds me of the spiritual truths buried in it.
According to Biblical numerology, there are several spiritual truths that can be found in the number six. We can glean from them to make our lives better in 2025. The first is the number six being the number of man; and the number seven the number of God.
Whatever is of man that is not sanctified by the Spirit of God will always bring problems to you. So, spend this year feeding your heart with what God has sanctified not what your carnal mind is generating.
During his valedictory speech to the nation of Isreal, Moses said to them;
“So, He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.” Deuteronomy 8:3 NKJV
This was the scripture Jesus stood on to overcome the first temptation He faced from the evil one. The truth in it is saying to us, we should feed our hearts with what comes out of the mouth of the LORD, not what comes out of our minds or any other place.
If Jesus had responded to Satan with what comes out of His mind as man, the way we do, He would have operated at plane of the number six, where victories over the devil are not possible. There would have been no defeat in the camp of Satan.
BUT HE RESPONDED WITH WORDS FROM THE LORD BY SAYING, SATAN IT IS WRITTEN.
He responded to Satan from the plane of the number seven, the invisible place where God reigns and lives. If you spend the year 2025 feeding your heart with what comes out of the mouth of the LORD, what proceeds from the invisible place where God lives and reigns, you will soar about all that the enemy might hurl at you this year.
The next spiritual truth in the number six is its second meaning in Bible numerology. The number six is also the number of the beast.
The beast is a symbol of an evil government. Most government in Africa are evil, very evil. They are headed by satanic people who have very strong ties with the underworld. You see all that in how they govern, and the kind of policies they pursue.
Naturally, like every other un-regenerated man, an average politician is selfish and self-centered. People who believe they mean well are either sycophants, friends or ignorant.
The message in this prophetic meaning of the number six is that, in 2025, do not trust the government with your well-being. If you do, you might find yourself on the streets one day, protesting. Trust God for your well-being.
Do not live in the number six. Live in the number seven. The Bible says;
“And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.” Philippians 4:19-20 NKJV
The Bible did not say, my government shall supply all my needs, it says My God shall supply all my needs. So, do not treat the government as the suppler of your needs. That will be living in the number six. God is the one who will supply your needs in 2025.
SO, LIVE IN THE NUMBER SEVEN. LET YOUR MIND BE ON GOD.
A major part of our Devotional text says;
“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” (Isaiah 26:3 NKJV).
This scripture says God will keep anyone who stays or settles his mind on Him in perfect peace. Another translation put it this way, “you will keep the man in perfect peace whose mind is kept on You, because he trusts in You.”
Keeping our hearts or minds on God in 2025, will help us live each day of the year in perfect peace.
Yes, it will position us to be kept in perfect peace by the LORD, no matter what might be happening. That is how to live on the spiritual plane of the number seven. It will bring you rest, which is the blessing or spiritual truth in the number.
I have never relied on the government in my life. My understanding has been this; I work for a government that is not of this world. It will therefore be foolish to rely on the policies of any human government for my sustenance. I work for the government of Jesus Christ; besides He said, “you are not of this world.”
So, it does not make sense if you keep your mind on any human government to take care of you. They could be a channel but not the source. If you make them the source, you will be living your days on the spiritual plane of the number six.
The next spiritual truth in the meaning of the number six says it is the number of the anti-Christ. The political anti-Christ is coming, but now we have the spirit of the antichrist in the Church, doing so much harm to the purposes of God. You must avoid this spirit by all righteous means, so that it will not ruin your life in any way.
In 2025, you must stay away from churches, preachers and doctrines, that make you give some money as altars of sacrifice, go through deliverance because you are first born, propel you to go the mountains, special prayer centers, or bushes to pray, or ask you to use salt, sand, water, mustard seeds, oil, or any other deliverance inventions in prayer.
CHURCHES, PREACHERS AND DOCTRINES THAT BREEDS THIS KIND OF CHRISTIANITY, ARE POWERED BY THE ANTICHRIST SPIRIT.
The antichrist spirit will give you a false salvation and hand you over to the demon of deliverance.
It will project evil spirits from the underworld that manifest as snakes in the dream world into your life. The spirits will begin to give you visions of men or women sleeping with you, and if you are under an antichrist preacher, he or she will say, “you have a spirit husband or wife” depending on your sex.
The spirit also does other things in the lives of people.
Sometimes, it brings visions and faces of loved ones who have died to them, in their dream world and use that to attack their victims severely. It is responsible for many spiritual attacks people who worship in wrong churches go through.
It will attack them in church and point the source of their problems to either their villages, ancestors, mothers, fathers, husbands or wives.
There are times it has pointed the age or birth position of the people as the source of their problems. To be more effective, there are times it will confuse people with accurate prophecies to keep them blind to its activities in their lives.
You cannot spend 2025 having this spirit to struggle with. So, avoid it this year by all means; do not attend any antichrist church. You will be living on the spiritual plane of the number six if you do. No one who lives on that plane enjoys a peaceful year.
The last spiritual truth in the number six according to Biblical numerology is the number of the Nazarene. Samson was a Nazarene. He lived like one and did a lot of exploits because of that. Then one day he broke his Nazarene vow, consequently, God departed from him, and the enemy came in.
The enemy removed his eyes and made him a public spectacle, but God would later come through for Him. In the light of what we are sharing, we will say Samson lived on the sixth plane while he was supposed to live on the seventh.
On the sixth plane, you can disobey God and withdraw your commitment, but on the seventh you don’t. That is why God does not want any of us on the sixth plane. He has given us His Holy Spirit and His word to saturate our hearts, and bring us out well.
That is the word of the LORD of the day!!!
MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR TODAY;
“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
