TODAY’S DEVOTION (WEDNESDAY 11TH FEBRUARY 2026)
“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.”
“Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the Lord your God chastens you.”
Deuteronomy 8:3-5 NKJV
WELCOME TO THE 42ND DAY OF OUR YEAR OF STRATEGIC VICTORY
The days of glory are indeed here. When we say glory, we are referring to the fullness of God on display; the fullness of His presence, the fulness of His word, the fulness of His power and the fullness of the person of Jesus Christ.
Friend, like I have always maintained, these are no longer days of praying with bottles of oil in your hands. We have done that in time past and discovered that there is more in God. There is so much to press into in our age that is bigger than the anointing Oil. It is called the fullness of God, which is the essence of the mystery of godliness.
The Bible is made up of the logos and the Rhema, the spirits and the letters, the spoken and the written word. When you open the pages of the Bible, you find the logos, the letters, and the written. But when you open your spirit as you open its pages, you contact the Rhema word or the spirit and the spoken.
When you come into the prophetic in Christ, you will discover that genuine prophetic flow is scripturally based and scripturally cooked. God does not speak in contradiction to His written word. That is why following the Rhema, spoken or the spirit of the word as you read the written word helps significantly.
What we find in the Bible shows us which scripture to wait and meditate on in order to receive a proceeding word or a prophecy from Heaven.
Now I am not saying we stand on one single scripture then come out with a suppose proceeding word from the LORD. That is destructive. The Bible is not capable of private interpretation. Scripture is designed to interpret scripture and provide balance in the rhema word.
Sadly, many have stood on certain feelings and twisted scriptures to speak a suppose word from the LORD and destroyed themselves and those who hear them.
IT IS THE VERY REASON FOR ERRORS IN CHURCH.
For instance, those who stood on the scripture that told us how Elisha poured salt into a stream and prophesied it out of its plague has told us how God used that scripture to speak to them to use salt to pray for people. They did not do comparative study to discover that it is heretic.
Heresies and false prophecies are conceived that way. They are conceived when men and women who may have read books but have not sat under genuine apostolic grace to search the scriptures and receive teachings from the LORD try to preach the Bible.
They are conceived by inspiration that is not rooted in sound doctrine, and prophetic feelings not powered by the Spirit of Truth.
Yes, talking about prophetic feelings; every prophecy proceeds from a prophetic sensation or feeling. When the prophetic sensation is genuine, it will spew out authentic prophetic flow from the throne room of God, but if it is not, it will spew out something that is extra biblical, half-truth, or complete lies from the pit of hell.
Sadly, the prophetic feelings of most people these days are scooped from carnality and Biblical Illiteracy.
They are scooped from an internal fountain of corruption, spiritual ignorance, greed, covetousness and bitterness. That is why seed sowing prophecies, enemy killing prophecies, and prophecies on possessing other people’s possessions and even spouses have become the norm in the prophetic delivery of most Christians.
A Christian will hear from ‘God’ at one moment to join a particular Church and at another moment, sometimes after few days, he is hearing from ‘God’ again to quit.
Others will hear from God at one moment to marry this person and at another moment they are hearing another thing: sometimes within the same week. In such moments, I do ask myself if God is confused and stupid that He does not know who the real wife or husband of such people is. But I know He is not.
IT IS THE PEOPLE THAT ARE STUPID AND CONFUSED YET LYING ON HIM.
The Bible says:
“Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.”
Proverbs 30:5-6 NKJV
This scripture is a warning to the “GOD told me” and “GOD say” generation who lie on Him and say “He says” while He has not spoken a word. Recently, many of them have been rebuked and found to be liars. However, the greater level of rebuke is coming and is very close. More will close down shops they call church.
Friend, to receive a true Rhema word from God these days, your fountain must be pure. Our devotional text today is very unique. A major Highlight of it says.
“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.”
The primary purpose why God passes His Children through hard times is to purify them. In this scripture, He made Israel to suffer hunger and fed them with just one type of food from Heaven. Apart from to bring them to a place in the Spirit where they can develop a sense of value in the proceeding word, the other intent was to purify them.
God’s will is to have a prophetic people on the face of the earth. However, we cannot operate accurately in the prophetic until we have been purified by the LORD. And since many (either do not know this or) reject God’s purification process, sorcery and divination has now become the prophetic anointing of most departments of the end time Church.
GOD WANTS ALL THAT TO STOP, AND IT BEGINS WITH YOU AND I
If a prophetic flow is oozing out of you despite your sinful living and conduct, you are operating under the spirit of divination and sorcery. An unclean spirit is powering you to speak those words even if you are calling the name of Jesus or quoting the scriptures.
The Holy Spirit does not use unholy vessels. He will first purge and purify a man before using him to speak. That is why the primary hallmarks of the men and women God used in Bible days to speak prophetically was HOLINESS. They were first called “Holy Men of God” before prophets. But today the story is different.
Our prophets and prophetesses are lesbians and sex addicts. They are masturbators and liars. They prophe-lie and speak under a demonic anointing. They a greedy, covetous, sinful and dirty in spirit yet we call them “men and women of God.”
Even the lay Christians who claim to be moving in the prophetic are no different from these preachers. They have capacity to seduce men and women to sexual infidelity.
They lie like the devil and still claim a prophetic call.
They practice all kinds of secret sins calling it weaknesses yet come out with a prophetic tone that can only be something they stole from genuine prophets of God. They are money and fame driven. The love of money is stronger in their hearts than the love for God. They are crafty, wicked, and vengeful.
If you want to be blessed by God’s spoken word, you must be pure. Your internal fountain as a Child of God must be clean. That is the message this morning!
MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR THE DAY;
“Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
2 Timothy 2:19-21 NKJV
