    THE LIBERATING POWER OF READING THE WORD

    During the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, learned from reading the word of the LORD, as revealed to Jeremiah the prophet, that Jerusalem must lie desolate for seventy years 

    Daniel 9:2 (NIV)

    God created the world by speaking words. Therefore, it takes understanding and knowledge of the words of God to effectively interact with the universe of God.
     
    God inspired men to properly document His words for the benefit of those who will read and believe.
     
    These men did not write the scriptures by their own will.
     
    “No part of the Holy Writings came long ago because of what man wanted to write. But holy men who belonged to God spoke what the Holy Spirit told them.” 2 Peter 1:21 (NLV)
     
    Which means any one who communes with the writings of the scriptures, will grow in the understanding of God’s thoughts and principles.
     
    The scriptures have what it takes to make you wise (2 Timothy 3:15), because they articulate the wisdom of God.
     
    God doesn’t want you to be ignorant. He wants you to be established in the understanding of His truth. By that, you shall not be decieved as the first couple (Adam and Eve) were decieved by the serpent. 
     
    The only way the adversary can stop you from fulfilling God’s purpose for your life is by means of deception.
     
    And the way to escape the deception of the adversary is by the understanding and knowledge of the truth.
     
    You cannot grow in knowledge without accessing the knowledge of God. 
     
    In his writing, Luke said, “Dear friend,
    I am writing for you, mighty lover of God, an orderly account of what Jesus, the Anointed One, accomplished and fulfilled among us. Several eyewitness biographies have already been written, using as their source material the good news preached among us by his early disciples, who became loving servants of the Living Expression. But now I am passing on to you this accurate compilation of my own meticulous investigation based on numerous eyewitness interviews and thorough research of the story of his life. It is appropriate for me to write this, for he also appeared to me so that I would reassure you beyond any shadow of a doubt the reliability of all you have been taught of him.” Luke 1:1-4 (TPT)
     
    Though Luke was inspired to write the gospel, he first gained understanding by reading other accounts.
     
    And one major means by which you can access the rich knowledge of God, is by reading the word of God.
     
    One of the best things which can happen to you is to have the ability to read; precisely reading the scriptures.
     
    Anyone who reads and understands the scriptures walks in liberty. The knowledge of the truth makes you free.
     
    Whiles the Israelites were in captivity, Daniel the prophet was interested in knowing when the captivity and desolation of Israel will end.
     
    Though he was a prophet and a prime minister, Daniel committed himself to thorough study and reading of the divine oracles.
     
    He understood by books (which was mainly the compilations of the prophetic writings of the Prophet Jeremiah). The prophet Jeremiah wrote concerning the captivity, desolation of Jerusalem and the number of years by which the desolation of Jerusalem will be completed. (See Jeremiah 5:9,11-12; 29:10)
    The understanding he received by reading the prophetic writings influenced the intercession he had to make for the deliverance of Israel and Jerusalem.
     
    Daniel could have prayed wrongly if he had not received understanding.
     
    People pray and don’t receive answers because they pray amiss. It is only by ignorance will a person pray amiss. (James 4:3).
     
    Reading the scriptures exposes you to the rich realities which the Lord has already given to you. Definitely, there are some matters in scriptures which may require explanation by those who are equipped with understanding. 
     
    An example of it was the Ethiopian Eunuch who didn’t understand the writing of the Prophet Isaiah and needed Philip to help him with what he was reading (Acts 8:27-38). 
     
    The Lord has also equipped sound teachers of the word in this generation to provide detail exposition of the scriptures to illuminate the hearts of believers. Just as you now have access to Machaira with Apostle Bennie.
     
    Reading this devotional will usher you into perfect understanding of the word of God. 
     
    Amazingly we are close to 1000 EPISODES. Each episode is saturated with divine depths to establish you in the understanding of your rich inheritance and function in Christ.

    HE WILL SHOW YOU MYSTERIES

    “God’s wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. You don’t find it lying around on the surface. It’s not the latest message, but more like the oldest—what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us, long before we ever arrived on the scene.”

     1 Corinthians 2:8 (MSG)

    Are you here for the first time?

    I have shared a lot on this platform; take the time to read other episodes and meditate on them.

    Making time to pray and ministering unto the Lord cannot be overemphasised.

    There are divine depths of wisdom which may not be understood by reading books. You only come to the understanding of it by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

    Am I denying the relevance of books? Certainly not.

    Daniel understood by books (Daniel 9:2).

    Jesus read, and the apostles also did.

    We behold the Wisdom of God through the scriptures and the epistles as well.

    However, through your communion with the Holy Spirit, you contact the life and the Spirit of the words spoken.

    Through communion with the Spirit, the Lord speaks to you person to person.

    There are secrets and insights the Lord brings to you by revelation.

    Daniel the Prophet, understood by books, however, when he had to tell and interpret the dream of King Nebuchadnezzar, he and his companions decided to pray to God.

    “Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation. Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
    That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.”     Daniel 2:16-19 (KJV)

    When you make time to speak to God, He will show you things you do not know (Jeremiah 33:3).

    And also concerning Moses, who spent 40 days and 40 nights with God; he returned with a heavenly pattern of the Tabernacle, priesthood designs and ordinances.

    Beyond the introduction of the “Old Covenant”, Moses received instructions on healthy living, health methods, food management, etc. No wonder, he saw the commandments of the Lord as life and not legalistic codes. (Deuteronomy 32:44-47)

    He received insight into the beginning of time. It will only take divine revelation and inspiration to have such hindsight into God’s creation work.

    The events in the book of Genesis took place many centuries before Moses was born. The details of Genesis transcend his exposure to historical materials in Egypt and Oral history from learned men (as others claim).

    Certain details in Genesis will only be by revelation.

    Elihu said, “I thought age should speak, and a multitude of years should teach wisdom. “But there is [a vital force and] a spirit [of intelligence] in man,
    And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.”     Job 32:7-8 (Amplified)

    Beloved, you have the Holy Spirit in you and with you; be immersed in Him through prayer and fellowship; your heart will be inspired with understanding into unsearchable verities.

    Glory to God.

    ENJOY DIVINE INTERVENTION

    “The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your life.” 

    Psalm 121:7 (Amplified Bible)

    Until you are conscious of a reality, you may not fully take advantage of it or enjoy it.

    This is why spiritual maturity is important. Your maturity gives you an edge to fully enjoy all the things the Lord has made available for you.

    Your spiritual maturity is basically your increase in knowledge and understanding of your relationship with God and the inheritance you have in Him.

    Many believers pray wrongly and even subject themselves to emotional distress because of their ignorance.

    Fear is a product of negative thoughts. Understanding what the Lord has done and provided for you gives you restfulness even amidst the most chaotic seasons.

    How you react when things seem difficult or challenging is dependent on your level of understanding of God’s provision for you.

    Are you afraid of failure?
    Are you troubled by a negative experience?
    Do you feel all alone and think nothing good will come out of your situation?

    Are you caught up in a loop of pain and disappointment?

    If your answer is “Yes” to these questions, then it’s time to intentionally set your mind on the Lord’s intervention.

    The intervention of the Lord is God’s act of stepping into an endangering situation to deliver you and also to support you greatly for your progress or your miraculous advancement.

    The Lord’s intervention is not in your future. The Lord is not looking forward to a day to intervening in your life before He makes His attempt.

    Understand that He is not waiting for your toughest moments before He sends you help. He is not waiting for your difficult season to send you help.

    The Lord’s intervention has always been with you. He has set things in place to preserve you.

    As you can see from the opening verse, “The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your life.”

    Now understand that the willingness of the Lord has gone forth, and has set in place all that is needed for your protection from evil. He has set things in place for the preservation of your life.

    You don’t just have to hope for His help or expect that things will get better.

    You have to know that the Lord has set things in place for your preservation and progress.

    YOU HAVE TO ENJOY!

    You have to take advantage!

    Now, prayer for divine intervention must be with the understanding that the Lord has already made provisions for you.
    Therefore, you pray to take advantage of the systems the Lord has put in place for your enjoyment.

    The author of Hebrews gave us an example as to how we can take advantage of God’s intervention:

    “… For hasn’t he promised you, “I will never leave you alone, never! And I will not loosen my grip on your life!” So we can say with great confidence:
    “I know the Lord is for me and I will never be afraid of what people may do to me!”     Hebrews 13:5-6 (TPT)

    Whatever the Lord has said in His word about your situation is what He has done and is doing. 

    To enjoy the manifestation of the word is for you to take a confident stand on what He has said and make it your declaration in prayer and your speech.

    Don’t be troubled!

    Enjoy the Lord’s intervention today and all the days of your life.

    Hallelujah!

    UNDERSTANDING GODLY SORROW IN REPENTANCE 2

    “For [godly] sorrow that is in accord with the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation; but worldly sorrow [the hopeless sorrow of those who do not believe] produces death.” 

    2 Corinthians 7:10 (Amplified Bible)

    There are some who think true repentance is determined by how you put on a sackcloth and cry your eyes out in sorrow.

    It is erroneous to think that people only show repentance when they grieve or are in painful anguish.

    This does not necessarily prove repentance. Repentance is a change in mindset about what sin is, who God is and what He has produced through the death and resurrection of Jesus.

    WHAT IS GODLY SORROW?

    Godly Sorrow is basically the genuine regret, pain and discomfort you feel when you realise how you have fizzled out or fallen short. But it is not the regret or discomfort which makes it godly. It is what is produced out of the discomfort.

    Godly sorrow is determined when the regret doesn’t move you away from God but rather makes you turn to the Lord in repentance through the supply of His grace.

    Also, don’t assume it is the Holy Spirit who wreaks pain and anguish in your heart. The Holy Spirit only shines the light of truth in your heart. And you come into the realisation of the will and the way of the Lord.

    It is this realisation that influences how you feel.

    It doesn’t necessarily lead to tears and sorrow all the time. The focus is that you will have a total mind shift or change of mind when the light of the Spirit shines in your heart.

    Godly Sorrow is not a feeling of condemnation. It is a feeling that comes from understanding who you are in Christ and how you have failed to live in that reality. You lift your hands to God for Him to pick you and set you up to continue in the reality of who you are in Christ.

    Paul the apostle received a report about the various sins of the saints in Corinth. He then sent them a letter to rebuke, correct and address them. One such sin was the case of a man living in sexual sin with his stepmother. (1 Corinthians 5:1).

    Paul the apostle showed displeasure at the various misconducts in the Church. And even instructed that they keep no company with such within the Church (1 Corinthians 5).
     
    Was Paul condemning such a person? No!
    He was condemning the deeds. Remember I have said before that God did not justify immorality, idolatry, extortion, but justified the believer (see 1 Corinthians 6:11).

    In Chapter 6 of 1st Corinthians, Paul takes his time to expound on the reality of the believer. He didn’t just demand that they change their behaviour. He cultivated the consciousness of who they are in their minds. He didn’t just show displeasure. He didn’t zoom in on condemning them. He condemns the wrongfulness or sins and brings them to the realisation of who they are.

    Take a look at what Paul said:

    “Have you forgotten that your body is now the sacred temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who lives in you? You don’t belong to yourself any longer, for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, lives inside your sanctuary. You were God’s expensive purchase, paid for with tears of blood, so by all means, then, use your body to bring glory to God!” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (TPT)

     He was just demanding a behaviour change. Paul the apostle knew that without the shining forth of God’s revelational light, there cannot be true repentance.

    Just as he was drawn to the Lord by the revelation of Jesus, he drew the Corinthian brethren from their weaknesses by reminding them of the fellowship they have with God.

    Did this work? Yes, it did.

    Read this from the second epistle Paul wrote to the Corinthians:

    “And now, isn’t it wonderful all the ways in which this distress has goaded you closer to God? You’re more alive, more concerned, more sensitive, more reverent, more human, more passionate, more responsible. Looked at from any angle, you’ve come out of this with purity of heart. And that is what I was hoping for in the first place when I wrote the letter. My primary concern was not for the one who did the wrong or even the one wronged, but for you—that you would realize and act upon the deep, deep ties between us before God. That’s what happened—and we felt just great.” 2 Corinthians 7:11-13 (MSG)

    Oh, glory to God.

    Godly Sorrow or distress does not drive you away from God. It turns you around from the path of defeat and leads you to enjoy the Salvation which you have in Christ.

    Some decide to stay away from Church meetings (assembly of the saints), refuse to pray or read their Bibles because of their weaknesses or sins.

    But that is not consistent with the word of God.

    When your distress or sorrow, or remorse leads you away from God or keeps you hiding from God’s presence, it is ungodly.

    God is a loving Father whose interest is that you continue in the reality of His life at work in you, through the supply of His grace.

    UNDERSTANDING GODLY SORROW IN REPENTANCE

    “For [godly] sorrow that is in accord with the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation; but worldly sorrow [the hopeless sorrow of those who do not believe] produces death.”

    2 Corinthians 7:10 (Amplified Bible)

    WHAT IS GODLY SORROW?

    How is it necessary in Salvation?

    What is the connection between Godly Sorrow and Repentance?

    What is the difference between Godly Sorrow and worldly sorrow?

    What Paul the apostle said in 2 Corinthians 7 was a follow-up response to the Church in Corinth, after the report he received from Titus concerning the outcome of his first epistle to them.

    To get into this, I want you to take another look at the concept of Repentance and also to understand the mindset of Paul the apostle.

    The Concept of repentance as we have looked at from previous episodes, is essentially a change of mind.

    When Jesus said to the people to “…repent…” He was basically admonishing them to have a change of mind about what they believe. Repentance is essentially turning away from the self to faith in Christ Jesus.

    God’s supply of forgiveness and salvation is according to the riches of His grace and not dependent on your repentance.

    Your repentance is as a result of the forgiveness which God has already supplied.

    True repentance is produced by the revelation of God in Christ Jesus.

    Paul the apostle understood this, he was on his way to Damascus in the business of persecuting the saints in Christ. He believed in the Jewish traditions and was zealously defending it and also attacked any believe system which was contrary to his belief. To him, “Christianity” was ungodly and should be stopped.

    The teaching that Jesus is the Messiah and all must believe in Him to be saved was blasphemous, therefore anyone with such faith must be persecuted.

    He was stiff-necked, uncircumcised in heart and resisted the Holy Spirit. As Stephen described the Sanhedrin (Acts 7:51).

    Paul’s encounter with Jesus on his way to Damascus, changed his mind. He realized he was not working for God but against God. He had a change of heart, turned from his wicked way and turned to God.

    Most people only think repentance is turning away from your wicked ways. But turning away from your wicked ways is not all that there is. When you turn away from your wicked ways what do you turn to?

    That is the most important matter here.

    Turning away from your wicked ways is not the complete reality of Repentance. Turning away from sin or your wicked ways does not mean you are going to live by God’s supply and according to God’s will.

    You can turn from your wicked ways, to live by your own effort, which will only result in death and not God’s salvation.

    Total repentance is turning to God!

    Paul turned away from the Jewish legalistic system and traditions, and turned to the glorious revelation of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:5-13).

    Definitely this change of mind or heart was not without regret. Considering how he contributed to the persecution and displacement of the saints,
    He didn’t clap and celebrate his actions. He felt discomfort and sorrow.

    But this sorrow wasn’t without hope. It was with hope and joy of what he has found in Christ Jesus.

    No wonder he said,
    “To truly know him meant letting go of everything from my past and throwing all my boasting on the garbage heap. It’s all like a pile of manure to me now, so that I may be enriched in the reality of knowing Jesus Christ and embrace him as Lord in all of his greatness” Philippians 3:8 (TPT)

    He threw away his old belief system on the garbage heap. And turned to the revelation of Jesus.

    He didn’t sit back in hopeless sorrow and regret. He set his focus on knowing the Lord Jesus. This was how he continued in bearing fruits of righteousness unto the praise and glory of God.

    This explains how people show remorse or a feeling of regret for something wrong they did, but later they continue in that wrong. They truly didn’t repent. Having a feeling of remorse is not necessarily a change of mind towards God’s truth.

    You may feel wrong about something you did, but still not think right. Repentance is a radical mind-shift from your old way of thinking to God’s way of thinking. Just as Paul the apostle did.

    Repentance in the New Testament is not just a feeling of sorry or confession of wrong.

    Repentance in the New Testament is a tangible transformation in thoughts and deeds through your surrender to the love of God.

    Paul the apostle surrendered his thoughts to the loving kindness and graciousness of God.

    In the New Testament, repentance is not a human or worldly feeling of regret, shame, or remorse. It is more than that. It is a conviction of heart produced by God’s goodness through the Holy Spirit.

    Godly sorrow is not focused on weakness, failures, or sins. It is recognizing the wastage caused, failures, weaknesses, and then submitting to God’s gracious power and love.

    It is great to have a personal experience of Christ. Nevertheless, this experience must be grounded on sound doctrine.

    No one becomes born again, and automatically, has sound doctrine without being part of the community of Christ, where the word of God (goodnews) is rightly divided.

    In the book of Acts, after Peter and the apostles had preached, all those who got saved were added to the Church.
     
    For which purpose, they were to be taught the true revelation of Jesus (goodnews) and be built in the new and living way.
     
    “Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.” Acts 2:41-42 (NKJV).
     
    What is the apostles’ doctrine (teaching)?
     
    The focus of the message or teachings of the apostles was the revelation of Jesus and the expression of His life.
     
    You don’t understand the scriptures alone. 

    As you have personal study, you also submit yourself to be taught in a Christ-centred church community.

    This is how you begin to grow in the knowledge of Christ.
     
    So we are charged through the scriptures, esteem them who labour in teaching you the word (1 Thessalonians 5:12-13).
     

    Beloved, you cannot fully grasp and experience the goodnews of Jesus without a sound teacher of the word.

    Selah.
