Today’s Reading:
Prov. 7 : 1 -3; Matt. 4 : 1 – 11
Beloved, Empty positive confessions are positive statements spoken that are not based on the word of God. If you are filled with fear, you will speak fear. Jesus said, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks; So, to improve your life, the first thing to do is not to start talking positive but to start feeding your spirit with the word of God. If you are fed with God’s word, fear will be easily handled.
Many Christians experience defeat today because they are not just strong enough. “Your strength is small, if you fall in the day of Adversity” if your spirit is weak, the devil will have his way in your life. Remember, we are admonished to resist the devil so that he will flee from us. Resisting requires strength.
The reason why many Christian get weak is that they feed their spiritless in the word of God. All some Christians ever know of the word of God are the interpretations of some portions of the Bible as believed by their denomination and taught by their Pastors on Sundays. In Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus was able to defeat the devil not because he was a special person but because He was well acquainted with what is written in the word. The word was His life. The devil will come to you as he came to Jesus, but if you do not know what is written, you will be beaten.
Worldly magazines and newspapers, film and social media feed you fear and satiate your curiosity, but the word strengthens you and makes you a conqueror, God bless you.
