THE SPIRIT AND THE WORD: Daily Devotional

THE SPIRIT AND THE WORD: Daily Devotional

 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light (Genesis 1:2-3).

As you read the Psalms, you will find that David knew the value of words and taught his son Solomon the same. It was Solomon who said: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue..." (Proverbs 18:21). David, his father, taught him that. David knew that life and death were not in the sword's power; they are in the power of the tongue. And he showed it when he faced Goliath of Gat.


You need to understand how he defeated Goliath.

It's easy to imagine that he defeated Goliath with a smooth stone and a slingshot. But not; it was with words! Study the account in 1 Samuel 17. He was sure of defeating Goliath because of his trust in words.


He used the tools guided by the wisdom of God. He had the rock and the sling and the words came out of his mouth. He knew he hadn't killed Goliath with a rock; the Spirit of God was upon him, and the Spirit of God uses words.


Words release spiritual power. Without words, the mind will do nothing.

Reread our theme verse. The spirit was all over the world, but nothing changed. So the Bible says, "And God said..."; Suddenly the Spirit acted and everything God said happened! Hallelujah!


At the second coming of Jesus, the Bible says that he will strike the Antichrist "...with the breath of his mouth..." (2 Thessalonians 2:8), referring to the sword of the Spirit, which is the "Rhema" of God - words that come out of His mouth (Revelation 19:15, Ephesians 6:17).

When you speak the Word, you release the power of God to act on your behalf. So if you find yourself in a life crisis, don't back down. No panic. speak words! Speak to it and make a change.


Jesus said that whatever you say you will get (Mark 11:23). Remember, words are powerful, but God's Word is almighty. Glory be to His name forever!

Happiness - Daily Devotional

  Bible Verse: "This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it." - Psalm 118:24 Happiness is something that we all desire and seek in our lives. It is a feeling of contentment, joy, and satisfaction. As Christians, we know that our ultimate source of happiness is God. However, sometimes in our daily lives, we can get caught up in the challenges and struggles we face, and we forget to be happy and grateful for what we have. The Bible verse above reminds us that every day is a gift from God, and we should rejoice and be glad in it. No matter what we may face in our daily lives, we can always find something to be grateful for and something to be happy about. It could be something as small as a beautiful sunrise, a kind word from a friend, or a moment of peace in our hearts. As Christians, we have the assurance that no matter what we face, God is with us, and He will never leave us or forsake us. This should bring us great joy and happiness, even in the mids...

Make Time for God: Daily Devotional

  “Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.” Psalms 5:1-3 (KJV) Making enough time each day to meet with God is sure to lead to your breakthrough. There was something King David did that help him to enjoying victory from time to time. It was about the quality of time spent with God. He spent time in fellowship with God in the mornings, meditating on God's Word. There were times when he prayed three times a day (Psalm 55:17). My beloved, do not rush to work or any activity in the morning without first praying. A Christian's prayer life is his lifeline; The moment you stop praying, you begin to die (Luke 18:1). You cannot succeed by your own grace or power; Therefore, make time to pray and meditate on the Word of God, and God will cause you to walk in victory and en...

The Goodness of God - Daily Devotional

  Verse: Psalm 100:5 (NIV) - "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Devotional: Today, let us reflect on the profound truth that God is good. His goodness is not contingent on our circumstances, but it remains constant, unwavering, and eternal. In Psalm 100:5, we are reminded that the Lord's goodness is inseparable from His enduring love, and His faithfulness transcends generations. As you begin your day, consider the goodness of God in the light of your own life. Think about the moments when His goodness has been evident, whether through answered prayers, unexpected blessings, or moments of divine guidance. God's goodness surrounds us, and even in challenges, there is a purpose that unfolds through His love. In times of joy, acknowledge the goodness of God with gratitude. In times of trial, trust in His goodness, knowing that He works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Take a ...
