TODAY’S DEVOTION (Monday 9th June 2025)
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 160TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF VICTORY
The LORD has kept us alive for 160 days. We will never take that for granted. Doubtlessly, many could not make it through these 160 days of the year, but we did! Not because we are more righteous than they are! No!!
It is out of God’s mercies that we are not consumed, for His compassion fails not.
This morning, it’s important to acknowledge that not all who slept last night woke up today. Some did wake up but on death roll, not by government verdicts but by the verdicts of their health. But you are here reading this devotional. Friend, if you think there is nothing in your life to thank God for, maybe because you are surrounded by impossibilities, thank Him for waking you up this morning.
Today the LORD has a word for us. Yesterday, He spoke to us about the mystery of “GOD’S GREAT MERCIES.” Today we will be looking at more rhema words on His mercies. I hope we are ready!!
To start with, it is important to note that the kingdom of God is not like the kingdom of men. The Kingdom of God functions on certain spiritual platforms. I call them platforms of truth. One of the platforms is how spiritual benefits and blessings increases in the lives of God’s Kingdom Citizens.
Spiritual benefits and blessings increase in our lives by the power of what we feed on spiritually and diminish when we are not properly fed spiritually. That is why the greatest invitation of God to humanity – an act of God’s mercy itself – has been to come and be fed spiritually.
The Bible says, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God'” (Luke 4:4 NKJV). A large percentage of the Bible is a call to spiritual feeding. 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 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.
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 His Mercies, 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 land 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.
Sadly, many saved and sanctified people do not have these three-fold blessings in their lives. They have 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, step into certain kingdom blessings or fulfill Heaven’s assignment for our lives on earth.
There is a proper spiritual feeding program of God for the end time church.
Like we have noted earlier, there is a spiritual feeding program of God for humanity, 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.
The importance of spiritual feeding cannot be over emphasized. Sadly, many churches do not feed God’s people. They only fool them. If there is any time to quit Churches where they do not feed you but practice charismatic witchcraft and sorcery on you, it is now!
GOD WANTS YOU OUT OF FALSE CHURCHES AND MINISTRIES TO SAVE YOUR ETERNAL LIFE.
A pastor, prophet, apostle, or priests who lack capacity to properly feed you spiritually will always be feeding you with deadly things like revelations of the depth of Satan, divination, sorcery, secular humanism, humanistic philosophies, etc.
How do these ministers fool people? They do it in so many ways. Some, in the name of deliverance, they will be asking for money. There are those who even ask people to sleep with them to make their spiritual spouses jealous and leave. Others fool people by using sand, salt, brooms, clothes, water, mustard seeds, 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 there is no Christian generation that rebelled against spiritual feeding that did not fall on the sword of their enemies.
Understand that it is the good of the land transmitted into our lives through God’s spiritual feeding program that saves us from the sword of our enemies or 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 problem. 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, our 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 CONTAINS THE VERY THING THAT WILL HAPPEN TO ANY BELIEVERS IF THE SAME SITUATION IS REPEATED IN HIS OR HER LIFE.
The word 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 a believer find himself or herself in the kind of spiritual situation described in this scripture, the person will be troubled by every adversity. There will be no peace for him when he goes out of comes in.
The scripture carefully unveils how the nation of God’s people lived at a particular time, a time and a 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.
He was only important to them when they were in trouble. That sounds like our generation today! But 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 DUE TO THE LACK OF PROPER SPIRITUAL FEEDING.
If you lack a proper spiritual feeding program to benefit from as a child of God, you will not be able to find peace in your marriage, business, family, finances, etc. You will be moving from Church to Church, or place to place, looking for succor, but will never find any.
Friend, the absence of proper spiritual program today is the reason for every woe in the life of the present church.
Even many of us reading this had no proper spiritual program until we stumbled into these devotionals which are part of God’s global spiritual feeding program. If God bring a spiritual feeding program your way, you must open your spirit to receive it into your life to experience the blessing!
As we bring this devotional to a close, I want you to understand that the Cry of the Spirit ministry is a product of God’s global spiritual feeding program for the End Time. If you are part of the house, just know that God has plugged you into a proper spiritual feeding program for your life.
The great call of God on you is to be fed properly and being in the Cry of the Spirit ministries is an opportunity from the LORD to obey that call. Don’t forget, whenever mercy says “no,” over a people in the perils of life, 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 SCRIPTUTE 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
