Memorise: Surely the Lord GOD will do
nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto
his servants the prophets. – Amos 3:7
Read: 2 Kings 6:8-13 (KJV)
Bible Passage Below
8 Then the king of Syria warred against
Israel, and took counsel with his
servants, saying, In such and such a
place shall be my camp.
9 And the man of God sent unto the king
of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass
not such a place; for thither the Syrians
are come down.
10 And the king of Israel sent to the
place which the man of God told him
and warned him of, and saved himself
there, not once nor twice.
11 Therefore the heart of the king of
Syria was sore troubled for this thing;
and he called his servants, and said
unto them, Will ye not shew me which of
us is for the king of Israel?
12 And one of his servants said, None,
my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet
that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel
the words that thou speakest in thy
bedchamber.
13 And he said, Go and spy where he is,
that I may send and fetch him. And it
was told him, saying, Behold, he is in
Dothan.
Bible in One Year: Isaiah 63:15-66:24, Psalms 43
MESSAGE:
There is power in the glorious presence
of God where many wonderful things
take place, including having access to
great revelations and instructions which
makes living pleasant. God is supreme
and He is the power behind all that
happens in the deep and secret places.
God will not do anything without
informing His prophets. The prophet of
God is a messenger of the Most-High
God. From the passage for today, we
can see that over and over again, the
Syrian aggression against the children
of Israel kept leading to the defeat of the
Syrian army. It reoccurred to a point in
which the King of Syria knew there was
a problem somewhere, he came to the
conclusion that there must be a traitor
somewhere who was revealing all their
military tactics to the Israelites. In the
long run, they discovered that there was
an unseen prophet in the background
who was counseling the King of Israel
from time to time about the plots of the
Syrian army. I decree into your life; all
the weapons of the enemy against you
shall be exposed in Jesus’ name. There
is nothing as great as hearing from God
because it helps you avoid many great
mistakes in life, and helps you to do
great things for God in life. When you
are in partnership with God, He will
always speak to you concerning things
to come before they eventually happen.
You will have access to certain classified
information and this will help you to
maintain your stand against all odds.
Knowledge is an important tool and is
key to the life of a believer. This is what
separated Daniel in the kingdom of
Babylon and he became a reference
point for different kings in different
situations. Daniel had access to vital
information which separated him from
the crowd.
When you have access to the knowledge
of God, nothing will trouble you because
you are aware of those things
beforehand. Understanding gives you
the privilege to know the mind of God.
When you don’t have access to divine
knowledge, it can lead to a lot of
suffering and hardship. If you want to
have access to this divine knowledge,
you must purpose in your heart not to
defile yourself with the lust of the flesh,
the lust of the eye and the pride of life.
Those that will have access to
information from God will be people
who understand the heartbeat of God.
There is a God in Heaven that reveals to
His children vital information from time
to time, I always tell my children that if
they have enough of God’s presence in
their lives, demons will have no power
over them, because the activities of the
demons will be revealed and destroyed
before they are even executed. Right
from my early years as General
Overseer, I had learnt the secret of
victory by spending time in the presence
of God, and each time I am in His
presence, He reveals deep things to me
about different situations of life. I want
to implore you to decide to spend
enough time in His presence, and you
will see the devil fleeing from your life.
In His presence there is full disclosure of
all the activities of the devil so that you
live your life in constant victory.
Prayer Point: Father, remove everything
hindering me from hearing from You.
