RESTORATION TODAY
TUESDAY 6TH NOVEMBER 2016
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: THE SPIRIT AND THE WORD.
The spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and His word was on my tongue.. 2 Samuel 23: 2.
There are some things always go together; a person and his shadow, two sides of a coin, the blades of scissors and the Spirit of God and the word of God. It is the word of God that establishes God's will in the earth, and it is the spirit of God that enables illumines, and empowers that word.
For instance, when God spoke the world into existence, the spirit was there (Genesis 1:2b). When early Christians were filled with the Holy Spirit they spoke the word of God with boldness (Acts 4:31). Words of wisdom and knowledge are given in the church through the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:8). And the sword of the Spirit is the word of God (Ephesians 6: 17).
When the Bible exhorts Christians to be transformed by renewing of (their) mind, it means learning to think God's way instead of the world's way. It means to replace lies with truth. We do that by reading God's word, which means the Spirit is the means of the transformation. It is the Spirit that gives understanding that leads to changed lives.
ACTION POINT:
Don't neglect the daily reading and study of God's word don't fall to be filled with the Spirit. A day missed is transformation delayed.
SCRIPTURE:
Genesis 1:1-3
Act 4:31
1 Corinthians 12:8
Ephesians 6:17.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord Jesus, thank You for the gift of Your Word in the name of Jesus.
2. Heavenly Father, help me to faithfully meditate daily in Your Word in the name of Jesus.
3. Lord Jesus, Strengthen Your Spirit in my life in the name of Jesus.
4. I receive a fresh fire of God in my Spirit today in the name of Jesus.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
1 Chronicle 21
Ezekiel 20:1-44
John 7: 2-30
