21 Days Fast & Pray - Day 18 : Our World

A. Devotion - Ezekiel 11:19

God reveals to Ezekiel the heart of the leaders of Israel who disobeyed God, who gave wicked counsel and who proudly thought they could gain freedom from the Babylonians in their own way. God judged them and then He revealed His promise in verse 19. He will then restore His relationship with His people. He will do this by giving them an undivided heart, a new spirit and a heart of flesh, instead of a divided heart, a dead spirit and a heart of stone. A divided heart is a heart or mind that is not focused on God and His ways. A dead spirit is a spirit that is not connected to God. A heart of stone is a heart that is not tender and will not love and obey God. If God is to cause an awakening in the Church and the world, He needs to deal with our hearts. God desires to be intimate with us. Let us turn to Him so that He can restore our hearts to Himself. As we desire these things, we must allow Him to work in us and let Him do it in His perfect timing and process. The best part about this is that this is His promise to us.

B. Application / Self-reflection

  1. Are there any areas of our hearts that we need God to make tender? Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal those areas to us and write them down.
  2. Are we willing to be honest to God with our thoughts and condition of heart and allow Him to carry us and work on our hearts? Start by spending time with God without rushing and let Him minister to you.

The Danger of Spiritual Infancy (Hebrews 5:11 - 6:12)

By
Have you met people who refuse to grow up? There are some adults who prefer to remain as children because they do not want to take on adult responsibilities. Not only is immature behaviour unpleasant to observe or deal with, the consequences are often destructive. In Hebrews 5:11-14, the writer expresses his frustration that some members of the church were refusing to grow into spiritual maturity. They were no longer trying to understand God’s word (v 11). Instead of taking on the responsibility of teaching others as they themselves had been taught, they needed to be taught the basics all over again (v12). Therefore, they were unable to take on “solid food” which is for mature Christians, and they were not able to distinguish good from evil (v14) or to understand teaching about righteousness (v13). Spiritual maturity is a necessary part of our walk with God. Remaining as a spiritual infant means that you are not good at discerning right from wrong and you will have a hard time maintain

A prophet prophesies and the church fully obeys (Acts 11:27- 12:4)

By
During this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 One of them, named Agabus, stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world. (This happened during the reign of Claudius.) 29 The disciples, as each one was able, decided to provide help for the brothers and sisters living in Judea. 30 This they did, sending their gift to the elders by Barnabas and Saul. 12 It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them. 2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword. 3 When he saw that this met with approval among the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Festival of Unleavened Bread. 4 After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover. When Jewish believers from Cyprus (Europe) and Cyrene (Liby

22 Sep 2020 - Isaiah 54 : GOD’S PROMISE FOR FRUITFULNESS AND BLESSING

By
Daily Devotion Tuesday 22nd September  Isaiah 54 – GOD’S PROMISE FOR FRUITFULNESS AND BLESSING    This scripture is a beautiful promise of encouragement and affirmation to God’s people. If you have served God faithfully, but you feel discouraged, if you feel that your effort thus far has not borne any fruit, if you feel that you have been despised or looked down upon, this promise is for you.    God tells the “barren woman” to sing and shout for joy, because God will give her the desire of her heart and gift her with more children than she can imagine (v1). This is a prophecy for the increase and expansion of the nation of Israel through the birth of many children, and a promise that the city would be rebuilt. The barren woman could also mean a person or a church that is feeling discouraged, unfulfilled or foolish. Perhaps you feel foolish and discouraged for putting your trust in God for so long, but you have not experienced the results that you expected? If you are feeling discourage
