BREAKFORTH

Day 235

Date: Saturday 22nd August, 2020

Text: Isaiah 54:3 King James Version (KJV)

“For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.”

(please read the entire chapter for understanding).

THOUGHT CODE: "Until you break forth, you can't take charge."

To break forth means to exasperatingly reach out for something completely outside your comfort zone.

From our main text today, we saw that it is God's desire for us to be the best and get the best of life. But sometimes, these things are completely outside our reach, which demands that we go the extra mile to get them.

God promised the children of Israel a land flowing with milk and honey, but when they got there, they met giants (children of Anak) in the land and before they can partake of the milk and honey, they would have to subdue the giants, rear the bees to produce the honey and nurture the cows so that they can begin to produce the milk.

Sometimes, we get so excited about prophecies so much that we fail to fulfill the demands in other to see the manifestations thereof.

1 Timothy 1:18 says " This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;"

All that God has said concerning you is true but you will never see nor partake of them by folding your arms or crossing your legs. You've got to breakout of your comfort zone and break forth into the manifestations and realities of God's word concerning your life.

COUNSEL: Whatever or wherever you are presently is as a result of the decisions you made. Decide wisely today and begin to break forth on everyside.

PRAYER: Dear Father, I break forth on everyside. No more limitations, in Jesus name (Amen).

TOUCH NOT!

Day: 234

Date: Friday, 21st August, 2020

Text: Psalm 105:15 King James Version (KJV)

15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

(please read the entire chapter for understanding).

THOUGHT CODE: "By the anointing, you're exempted"

Yesterday, we looked at the exempting power of the anointing and how it can deliver us from the harm of the enemy (please reread yesterday's devotional for maximum understanding of today's topic).

For us to understand what Psalm 105:15 means, we have to read it in context. Psalm 105 is actually a Psalm written by David, remembering God's promise to Abraham, and thus God's people.

We know that, according to the Old Testament, God promised Abraham that He would make him the father of many nations. The Bible records that God's promise to Abraham became true in the form of Isaac, who had Jacob, from whom the nation of Israel came.

We read in Exodus and other books how Israel became a slave in Egypt, how God delivered them from slavery, and how He led them to the promised land - the same land He promised to Abraham. Their journey was marked with many challenges and trials, but the Lord was with them as He promised.

Here's where Psalm 105:14-15 comes in: "When they were few in number, indeed very few, and strangers in it. When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people, He permitted no one to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying, "Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm."

From this very passage, we read that when God spoke of His "anointed ones" and His "prophets," that no one must ever touch them and no one should do them harm, He was referring to His people. He was in no way specifying a single minister or Christian. He meant everyone that belonged to Him.

With these words He meant to tell everyone that He doesn't want anybody touching or harming all of His children, not just a small group of "special" Christians. He was protecting each and every person who is called by His name, who believes in Him and follows Him.

And so, dear friends, realize that you are important to God as much as any minister is. While we are all equal in His sight, He gives us leaders who will look after us. Let's love them and see ourselves not as as inferior to them but as brothers in Christ, walking side-by-side in the Lord.

COUNSEL: Always remember that you are precious in God's sight and no harm can come to you.

PRAYER: Dear Father, I terminate every annoying thing by the anointing of your spirit upon my life. Henceforth, I refuse to be tormented or molested by the devil because I am anointed and no harm can come to me, in Jesus Name (Amen).

The anointing destroys annoying things

WATCH AND PRAY

Day 231

Date: Wednesday 19th August, 2020

Text: Matthew 26:41 King James Version (KJV)

41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

(please read the entire chapter for understanding).

THOUGHT CODE: "There is no weapon that Satan has that can defeat the weapons God provides us with when we watch and pray. "

To watch and pray means to be sensitive and on guard in all our waking hours so that we can see when sin is at the door, desiring to entrap us.

We must be sober-minded and watchful. Satan is always on the prowl, waiting for an opportunity, for a crack to slip into. To let down our guard against sin, for even a moment gives him the moment he has been waiting for. His whole desire is to turn us from God. If we are watching and praying, then we can always resist him, firm in our faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by our brotherhood throughout the world. (1 Peter 5:8-9).

We have evil lusts and desires in our flesh that draw and entice us. Only by the power of God can we overcome.

Jesus experienced the same thing when He lived on earth. He had to pray with strong crying and tears to His Father. He too had to be alert and watchful so sin couldn’t get in His heart. (Hebrews 5:7).

We use God’s Word to help us to be watchful. We have to have a connection with God from the time we get up until the time we go to bed.

Obviously we can’t be on our knees all day, and we have many things to do in our day-to-day lives, but we need to have a hearty-connection with Him, so that we can always go to Him for the help that we need, to find His will and find the strength to do it.

The weapons that Jesus used to overcome were prayer and God’s Word. There is no weapon that Satan has that can defeat the weapons God provides us with.

When we are alert we can see when Satan is trying to plant some ugly weeds. At that time, we need to pray to God to help us keep out all those evil seeds and prevent them from taking root in our hearts. They won’t always look like big, obvious sins. Often, satan will try to sneak in with “harmless” things, little sins that don’t seem like such a big deal. It is important to be watchful so that we recognize all of those temptations for what they really are.

Just think of all the situations we come into. What goes on during those times. What thoughts we allow to come into our minds. The conversations we become engaged in. Be on guard for Satan and his ugly weeds!

COUNSEL: Always be alert and on guard consciously from today, so as to discern the strategies of the enemy

PRAYER: Dear Lord, help me to always watch and pray and be on guard, as you help me, in Jesus Name (Amen).

Distractions are side-attractions wanting to get your attention to keep you in detention.

Has the devil crippled you in some area of your life? Is he trying to keep you out of church and away from the work of God? Is he discouraging you with one trial right after the other? Making you think you’ll never be delivered. That you’ll never get to the place you need to be in Christ. Well, rise up and walk back to where you belong spiritually. Don’t allow the devil and the junk he conjures up to cripple you emotionally, financially, spiritually, or even physically for that matter. Rise up and walk by faith just as the lame man above. Rise up and shake off the attack of the devil!

The Word of God mixed with faith is a weapon

Choose Your thoughts consciously and deliberately

You have the unlimited life because you have the spirit of God in you
