TODAY’S DEVOTION (Saturday 21st December 2019)
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 355th DAY OF OUR YEAR OF GOING FORWARD.
This morning we will be visiting a publication I published under GOD shortly after the 2016 American Election that brought a contemporary Cyrus to the Presidency of a contemporary Israel. But the devotional is not about the prophecy that came during that period – what we call the TRUMP SIGN. It is about God’s end time spiritual feeding program.
But before we go into that I have a prophetic word to share.
A lot is happening in Kenya, our place of primary assignment. In our apostolic parenting talk show yesterday, we received some messages from our viewers that stunned my wife and I; it literally brought tears out of my wife’s eyes. A woman got her creditor killed for not paying back the money she owed her. She did that by the ministry of a prophet in the city. The money was just 30,000.ksh. Then I asked if it brought the money back.
You see, if the prophet were of God, he would have pleaded with the woman to be patient with her creditor or better still give her the 30,000 ksh. to save the life of the creditor. But since he is a prophet of Baal, he got her killed using his evil powers to present himself as the great power of GOD.
Friend, Jesus would not have killed the woman. The blood of that woman will cry against the prophet and the lender. It is just a matter of time!
Sadly, people cannot see how the devil is using the grievances of some to take permission from them to kill lost sinners basically to rush them to hell, fearing that God will save them from eternal damnation and take them to Heaven. The horrific description of the ministry of this man reminds me of the witch doctors that once lived in my village before the gospel came.
Here is how they functioned. If you take your enemy to them, they will only ask you to be sure that all you are saying is true. Then they will ask you for some money and do something that will get the person killed. What they did is the same thing that this Nairobi prophet is doing.
Many so-called Christians do not know that Baal is also the god of vengeance. This deity helps its worshipers to kill their enemies mercilessly. That was what this witch doctors where doing – the very thing this Nairobi Prophet is doing for those who run to him for vengeance on their enemies. There is the second coming of the prophets of Baal.
But I want to also say that something positive is happening. Children of God are becoming courageous against these Charlatans. I want to let them know that they Church is no longer stupid as they think. Their time is up! Jesus will wrestle every sheep of His from their hands. Only the goats will remain with them. Like I shared yesterday, there is a revolution already. The gates of hell shall not prevail.
NOW TO THE DEVOTIONAL OF THE DAY – Published November 2016
The American Election has come and gone but for us at the Cry of the Spirit ministry it is not News, we knew the outcome before today and are now watching for the message of the Sign of Trump’s victory, and by God’s grace in our vigil tomorrow God will be unfolding to us the full message of the Sign.
That is why I am urging you to feed yourself from the stable of these apostolic and prophetic truths because taking truths like this and internalizing them will be important to your spiritual well being, especially these prophetic seasons ushered in by the Trump Victory Sign in the spirit.
Talking about God’s Mercies, the kingdom of God is not like the kingdom of men. It functions on certain 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 THE HUMAN RACE 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 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, 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 humans, 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.
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! 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.
And 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, 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. It is the good of the land transmitted into our live through God’s spiritual feeding program that save 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 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. He 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 THE PRESENT CHURCH.
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. That is why I began this devotional by urging us not just to read but to chew the truths here. 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 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 obey that call.
Do not 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
