MY PEOPLE PERISHED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE DEVOTIONAL!
It is written, Let the WORDS OF MY MOUTH, and the MEDITATION OF MY HEART, be ACCEPTABLE in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)
This is to say, you as a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World must know and understand that in relating with GOD in Christ in this World, what you are SAYING with your MOUTH par time is not enough in His sight because what you are MEDITATING (deeply thinking) on in your HEART matters to Him as such time as well. True! This is because what you are MEDITATING (deeply thinking) on in your HEART is what you really are than what you are SAYING with your MOUTH. True! This is why the Bible reveals that as A MAN THINKS, SO HE IS and counsels us to KEEP YOUR HEART WITH ALL DILIGENCE; FOR OUT OF IT ARE THE ISSUES OF LIFE. True! Therefore, don't be deceived because you are actually encountering and experiencing each day what you are consciously and unconsciously MEDITATING (deeply thinking) on in your HEART consistently. True! This is why Jesus Christ openly rebuked the Pharisees in His days for their HYPOCRISY saying O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? FOR OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKS. A GOOD MAN OUT OF THE GOOD TREASURE OF THE HEART BRINGS FORTH GOOD THINGS: AND AN EVIL MAN OUT OF THE EVIL TREASURE BRINGS FORTH EVIL THINGS. But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by your words you shall be justified, and by thy words you shall be condemned. Once again, I say to you, don't be deceived because God sees you as a HYPOCRITE If what you are SAYING with your MOUTH is not what you are MEDITATING (deeply thinking) on in your HEART. Therefore as God is concerned you are not qualified for what you are asking from Him, if what you are SAYING with your MOUTH is different from what you are MEDITATING (deeply thinking) in your HEART. True! Unfortunately, this is the sorry and sad spiritual state of many Christians in the sight of God today. So sad but true! This is why one of the instructions given by God to Joshua when He (God) informed him to take over the leadership of Israel after the death of Moses is that this book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but YOU SHALL MEDITATE THEREIN DAY AND NIGHT, that you might observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shalt make you way prosperous, and then you shall have good success. This means it is not enough to say or confess the WORD of GOD with your MOUTH to get divine solution or result in your life or situation, you must as well learn to MEDITATE (deeply think) on it in your HEART day and night to become the Word of God first, then you are qualified to see the Word of God you are MEDITATING (deeply thinking) on manifest in your life or situation. True! This is because God is His Word and He wants you to become His Word as well as His Child in Christ in this World. True! Again, I say unto you don't be deceived because until you learn to MEDITATE (deeply think) on the WORD of GOD in your HEART day and night, you cannot truly see the manifestation of the WORD of GOD in your life and situation. True! This is why the Bible says that blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. BUT HIS DELIGHT IS IN THE LAW OF THE LORD; AND IN HIS LAW DOES HE MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and WHATSOEVER HE DOES SHALL PROSPER. If I may ask you, do you truly DELIGHT (take pleasure) in the WORD of GOD? Now, know and understand that you cannot take pleasure (delight) in the Word of God to an extent of MEDITATING (deeply thinking) on it day and night and you will not PROSPER in whatsoever you are doing. I can confidently tell you this because I have personally proved it to be true and so over the years. Glory halleluyah! Therefore, don't be deceived because you cannot be MEDITATING (deeply thinking) on materials of the World like the people of the World and be expecting to see the Word of God manifest in your life or situation. My dear brother or sister, no way because it does not work like that in the Kingdom you belong to in Christ in this World. True! This is why Apostle Paul warned saying BEWARE lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the World, and not after Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And you are complete in Him, which is the Head of all principality and power and counselled that Let the WORD of CHRIST DWELL IN YOU RICHLY in ALL WISDOM; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Furthermore, this why Apostle Paul requested that Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK ON THESE THINGS. THOSE THINGS, WHICH YE HAVE BOTH LEARNED, AND RECEIVED, AND HEARD, AND SEEN IN ME, DO: AND THE GOD OF PEACE SHALL BE WITH YOU. Know and understand that it is only the WORD of GOD that is true, honest, just, pure, lovely and of good report to MEDITATE (deeply think) on in this World, nothing else to be compared to it. True! This is why the Psalmist reveals by His personal encounter and experience saying THE LAW OF THE LORD is PERFECT, converting the soul: THE TESTIMONY OF THE LORD is SURE, making wise the simple. THE STATUTES OF THE LORD are RIGHT, rejoicing the heart: THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD is PURE, enlightening the eyes. THE FEAR OF THE LORD is CLEAN, enduring for ever: THE JUDGMENTS OF THE LORD are TRUE and RIGHTEOUS altogether. MORE TO BE DESIRED are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold: SWEETER also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is your servant WARNED: and in KEEPING of them there is GREAT REWARD. Who can understand his errors? Cleanse you me from secret faults. Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the WORDS of MY MOUTH, and the MEDITATION of MY HEART, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. Do you desire the WORD of GOD in your HEART than money and earthly possessions, position, power and popularity? Is the WORD of GOD in your HEART sweeter than anything including honey and honeycomb? I tell you the truth that until you get to this level with the WORD of GOD, so that you consciously and consistently MEDITATE (deeply thinking) on it day and night to guide your ways and manners and choice making and decision taking to please God, you may not enter and enjoy God's REST and BEST in Christ for you par time in this World. True! Finally, you must know and understand that SALVATION (freedom or deliverance) in CHRIST in any area, beginning from getting saved (born again) in Christ to receiving peace, purpose, power, provisions, etc in Christ is by BELIEVING in your HEART first unto RIGHTEOUSNESS and then CONFESSING with your MOUTH into SALVATION (Freedom or deliverance). True! The Bible reveals this truth to us saying what said it? The WORD is near you, even in your MOUTH, and in your HEART: that is, the WORD of FAITH, which we preach; That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God had raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVES UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION. For the scripture said, WHOSOEVER BELIEVES ON HIM SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED. Believing anything other than the WORD of GOD cannot make you RIGHTEOUS in the sight of God, but only make you UNRIGHTEOUS instead. True! Believing anyone other than the JESUS CHRIST cannot make you a PRAISE in the sight of God, but only make you ashamed instead. True! Always remember that if your MEDITATION (deeply thinking) is ACCEPTABLE to GOD, you will GET what you PRAYING for. True! (Proverbs 4:23; Matthew 12:34-37; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:1-3; Colossians 3:16,17; Colossians 2:8-10; Philippians 4:8,9; Psalm 19:7-14; Romans 10:8-11; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter 2:9,10; Matthew 13:18:23)
Take note, take heed!
God bless you.
