RHEMA FOR LIVING OFM, DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FROM THE DESK OF GOD'S SERVANT REV (DR) LIZZY JOHNSON SULEMAN TODAY
THURSDAY, MAY 28TH 2020.
BIBLE READING: 2 KINGS 11-14.
TOPIC: REASON YOUR WAY TO THE TOP (PT. 2).
TEXT: "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:" Isaiah 1:18-19.
One man who reasoned his way out of suffering was the prodigal son. He came to himself one day, sat down and arranged the relevant fact before him, He analyzed his present position and designed a technique to get out of his quagmire. He listed out the total number of servants his father had and estimated the quantity of food they ate annually and how much went to the dogs. Then he picked up a pen and write down his findings. He arrived at the logical conclusion that home was his best bet out of starvation.
When it dawned on him that he could not simply appear before his father looking bewildered and dumbfounded, he resolved what to say upon arriving home. "I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants." Luke 15:18-19. "And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and fell on his neck, and kissed him." Luke 15:20.
I often wonder where the devil was when he sat down to work out his liberty.
Child of God, the devil is not your problem. You can get the best out of the covenant; you can produce the best result in life. You have what it takes, so put your covenant mind to work.
PRAYER:
Whatever has been planted around me to delay my progress in life, as I pray, be nullified by fire.
