THE WORD AND YOUTuesday, April 25th 2023 BORN WITH THE DIVINE NATURE SCRIPTURE:Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust (2 Peter 1:4). Being partakers of the divine nature means we’re...

SCRIPTURE:A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things (Matthew 12:35). God has given every human being the ability to imagine. It’s a gift we all have from Him. And it’s so important that you recognise...

SCRIPTURE:Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom (Luke 12:32). What a profound statement made by Jesus in the verse above! However, when He said it, He wasn’t addressing the new creation. God isn’t “going to give” the Kingdom to you that are born again; the Kingdom...

SCRIPTURE:…God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:13). Sanctification is part of the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Even though you’re born again and your spirit is alive to God, your mind still needs to be purified of...

SCRIPTURE:If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth (Colossians 3:1-2). Each one of us is ordained of God to be very successful. But you can’t really be a success...

SCRIPTURE:Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled (Matthew 5:6). Sequel to our previous study, something else that fasting does for you is that it helps you build a strong desire. Fasting helps nurse your spiritual hunger or desire for whatever you’re praying about. Gradually, your desire moves...

SCRIPTURE:And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes (Daniel 9:3). Fasting is a spiritual exercise, and it’s one of the vital conditions necessary for effective praying. Fasting isn’t the same as a hunger strike. It’s not about avoiding meals. After all, there’re...

SCRIPTURE:“…Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full (John 16:23-24) The Phrase _“…he will give it you”£ in the verse above is “didomi” in Greek, and it means God will...

SCRIPTURE:But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8 Some years ago, a young man came to me and said he suddenly woke...

SCRIPTURE:For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to...
