Wisdom For The Day Devotional 20 August 2023 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Stop Operating From The Realm Of Symptoms
TOPIC: Stop Operating From The Realm Of Symptoms (TREM Devotional 20 August 2023)
“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
Stop looking at the things which the devil is bringing against your life, because whatsoever he is doing or showing you is for a moment. It will soon pass! Hold fast to God’s word! Meditate on the word! Think on the word and speak to it! Speak it in the morning, in the afternoon and in the night. The word of God has no margin for error. Soon you will see it manifest.
Fix your mind on the answer not on the problem because “for as he thinketh in his heart so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7KJV). If you keep on thinking it, you will start acting it. Many of us want to understand how it works, but Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven is like when a man sows a seed in the ground. You can’t understand how the seed is springing forth. Hold unto the word because it is eternal while what you are seeing is temporal. The word made everything that you need because the word is spirit and life. The word is quick and can create what you want.
So as you keep on speaking the word and you keep on thinking it, things will begin to change.
Don’t ever believe what the devil is saying. The devil will do his job and he is very active at his job. But you also have to learn to do what you are supposed to do. How dare you rise up from the place of the word and prayer and you are now saying nothing is working. That is exactly what the devil wants you to say. That is exactly the position he wants to place you when you begin to doubt God because of your immediate circumstance. But the devil operates in the realm of symptoms and circumstances and the flesh. He will begin by telling you that nothing has happened. Your situation hasn’t changed. Don’t fall for his lies.
