Wisdom For The Day Devotional 8 September 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – The Spirit Helps Through Your Obedience
TOPIC: The Spirit Helps Through Your Obedience (TREM Devotional 8 September 2022)
“A man’s heart deviseth his ways but the Lord directs his steps” Proverbs 16:9 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
A man may plan in his mind but God directs him in the path he should follow. God is the one that leads. He is the One that orders your steps. That is why it is so important, more than ever before, to be obedient. It is important to look into the word of God and begin to apply it. Make up your mind to be a doer of the word.
The book of James 1:25 says “Whosever looketh into the perfect law of liberty and continueth in it, he being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the word, this man shall be blessed in his deeds”. It is continuous looking so that you will not be going about blindly. The Holy Spirit will begin to direct you once you start doing the word.
“Order my steps in thy word: And let not any iniquity have dominion over me.”(Psalm 119:133 KJV). To get rid of sins in your life, fill your life with the word of God. It will wash you! The word will cleanse you! It will sanctify you! The word will set you apart as you begin to declare who you are, God will begin to reveal to you your true image. As you say and do the word, Holy Spirit will work it out in you. Jesus on the inside, working on the outside.
According to John chapter 14:26 “And the Comforter which is the Holy Ghost whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things” The Holy Spirit will teach you all things. He shall bring all things to your remembrance. He will teach you about your marriage. He will teach you about your academic life. He will teach you about ministry. He will teach you about business. He will teach you about your career. He will teach you about your profession. He will teach you about your health. He will teach you about everything in life even in ministry. He will teach you and bring things to your remembrance so that you can succeed.
