Wisdom For The Day Devotional 2 August 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo | Find Yourself In The Book
TOPIC: Find Yourself In The Book (TREM Devotional 2 August 2024)
“And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written.” Luke 4:17 (KJV)
Wisdom For The Day MESSAGE:
The secret of power is having a vibrant, intact, ongoing relationship with God. It must not be a one-time shot. You must put your ears in His mouth. That is the secret of power. If you do not discover this, you can fast all you want and pray all you want; power will not flow. Your father needs you around every time. The reason for manipulation is that people are too much in a hurry. They don’t want to wait. You ought to sit at the Master’s feet and let him share the secret of victory with you.
When Jesus went home to Nazareth, and as His custom was, they gave him the book to read. He opened to what was documented about Him in the volume of books. Jesus opened to Isaiah 61 and read: “The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, to heal the broken hearted…” After reading, He closed the book and sat down. That seat had been waiting for the man whose documentary was in the book to come and sit there. He sat down, and the Bible says all the eyes of those present were fastened on him.
Do you know some of your seats are empty? Do you want people to be drawn to you? Then, find yourself in the book and become the book. It was the same thing with John the Baptist. They asked him, are you the Christ? He said no. Are you one of the prophets? He said no. Then who are you? He quoted from Isaiah 40: 3: “The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God”. The scripture says people left the city and went to look for him in the wilderness. What happened? He found himself in the book.
