TODAY’S DEVOTION (THURSDAY 30TH JUNE 2022)
“Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
The parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, where each lay, There shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
A highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray.
No lion shall be there, Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; It shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk there,
And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.” Isaiah 35:5-10 NKJV
WELCOME TO THE 181ST DAY OF OUR YEAR OF AMAZING GRACE
This is the day the LORD has made, we shall rejoice and be glad in it. The Mercies of the LORD has been with us. His grace has been running our lives like oil and gases run cars. This is the LORD’s doing and it is marvelous in our sight!
When we say God’s, grace has been running our lives like the gas and oil do the lives of cars, that is a strong message there. Like we said yesterday, most times we go through a lot but we are not destroyed because of God’s oil in our lives.
Personally, this month was very challenging but God’s grace made it one of the best months of my life.
Whenever we confront outside devils, the ones inside always rise up against us with very sharp knives with capacity to kill instantly, but the LORD’s grace and mercy has always come through for us.
If you want to know how God’s grace run people’s lives, look at us. Look at the Cry of the Spirit Ministries and the vocal minority that is against us. Look at how God is frustrating them and making them mad.
Yes, look at it. Our God has a history of frustrating the tokens of liars and making diviners and heretic teachers mad. See how mad they have become even calling us cult. Its laughable.
Look at how our God is sweeping away their refuse of lies and at the same time making sure no liar in and around us build a refuge for themselves with their lies. He is making sure that mischief makers are thrown out of our tent because the place is for sons of peace.
Indeed, if you want to see how God’s grace run lives, look at what the LORD has done for us during this month. Look at the battles He fought for us, the craftiness of the wicked He defeated, the tokens of liars He frustrated.
Indeed, when God’s grace run your life, nothing will be able to ground your life. The attacks of men and devils will not be able to ruin you. That is my testimony and that is the story of my over 30 years of ministry and few years on earth.
IT IS THE GRACE OF THE LORD THAT MAKES THE SEVERE ATTACKS OF THE ENEMY TO ONLY BRING TEARS OUT OF OUR EYES AND NOTHING MORE.
Because for each tear, there is a blessing that always come; the essence is to wipe it away.
Our God has a history of wiping away tears. He said in Psalm 30:5 “weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” The last verse of our devotional text says,
“And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.” Isaiah 35:10 NKJV
If our God does not have a history of wiping away tears, scriptures like this would not have been in the Bible. So for every tear the enemy make you bring, just know there is a blessing. Do not ask the LORD to destroy those he may be using.
In this Kingdom, vengeance belongs to God and we do not curse or ask the LORD to kill people for bringing tears out of our eyes. He still wants all saved.
When men and women are used by the enemy to cause you pain or bring tears out of your eyes, ask the LORD to bless you for each tear you shed. That’s the way up in God’s kingdom.
Yes, do not ask the LORD to kill them, we do not do that here. Jesus said to the disciples “we have not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” So, ask the LORD to bless you for each tear you shed and each pain you go through by their hands.
If you are on the LORD’s side, the God of divine settlement will respond over time and bless you for every tear you have shed and for every pain you have gone through. My life is a testimony of that and I can’t thank God enough!
Today is the last day of our 30-day journey of faith with the Cry of the Spirit on fear. God has indeed spoken to us. The vision of fearing God alone, respecting men without worshiping them, and being bold in life has been fulfilled in the lives of those who absorbed the month-long teaching.
OUR DEVOTIONAL TEXT HOLDS THE RESULT THAT IS NOW EXPECTED. IT SAYS;
“Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
The parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, where each lay, There shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
A highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray.
No lion shall be there, Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; It shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk there,
And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.” Isaiah 35:5-10 NKJV
Indeed the eyes of the blind are opening. The ears of the deaf are hearing. Rivers are bursting forth in the lives of those who once had to rivers of the Spirit in their belly.
This scripture has a weighty Bible prophecy for the end time trapped in it. Maybe in time to come we will look at it in one of our in-house apostolic summits.
But the part I want to addresses now is the prophetic part that says we shall return. Hallelujah!
The essence of following the Cry of the Spirit on any kingdom subject is to return. But not the way we started the journey.
It is to return with revelation, reformation and joy. The word says,
“the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away”
I want you to believe the word of the LORD this morning, that you shall return with testimonies of singing not sorrowing.
You shall return with testimonies of everlasting joy not sadness. You will obtain joy and gladness by reason of the revelation you have learned this month and that whatever sorrow and sighing that fear has caused you will flee away!
I pray that as we move into the month of July, fear will no longer be your portion. What the LORD reserved for lions will begin to come to you and what Satan reserve for chickens will go away from you.
FEAR BRINGS CURSES. THAT IS WHY SATAN LOVE PUTTING MEN UNDER FEAR.
The fear of man, the fear of the unknown and all that. You must understand that, there are curses of life that are associated with fear. And that if you are fearful, you will come under them.
May they be far away from you from this day forward.
As we bring this to a close, you must also not forget that there are blessings God reserve for His lions; His fearless army. Sadly, not many can tap into them because it requires boldness and being fearless to tap into them.
From the life of the Israelites, it is clear that being fearless brings us into dimensions of blessings reserved for GOD’s lions like Joshua and Caleb.
The lives of those men and women tells us that apart from the eternal reward of making Heaven, as contained in the book of revelation, there are blessings in time that one comes into naturally because one is bold and strong.
May all of them begin to fill your life in the new month in Jesus precious name. Amen
LET THIS SCRIPTURE BE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR US TODAY!
“But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land.
If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’
Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them.”
And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Now the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of meeting before all the children of Israel.” Numbers 14:6-10 NKJV
