DAILY FOCUS

SUNDAY 22

THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUTH AND LIFE-IT MUST DWELL RICHLY IN US!

“15 Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always]. 16 Let the [spoken] word of Christ have its home within you [dwelling in your heart and mind—permeating every aspect of your being] as you teach [spiritual things] and admonish and train one another with all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 Whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus [and in dependence on Him], giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” Colossians 3 Vs 15-17 (AMP)

 

MONDAY 23

DON’T BE SUBJECTED TO FLESH—BE GOVERNED BY GOD’S WORD!

“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, Heathen became hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.’” Matthew 4 Vs 1-4 (NASB)

 

TUESDAY 24

THE WORD OF GOD IS POWERFUL—FULLY EQUIPPED WITH SUPERNATURAL POWER!
“For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account.”

Hebrews 4 Vs 12-13 (AMP)

 

WEDNESDAY 25

IT IS WRITTEN, PRAY—PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER!

“Is anyone among you suffering? He must pray. Is anyone joyful? He is to sing praises [to God]. 14 Is anyone among you sick? He must call for the elders (spiritual leaders) of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the prayer of faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God— it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].” Pray as the Spirit of God leads you. James 5 Vs 13-16 (AMP)

 

THURSDAY 26

TREASURE THE WORD OF GOD ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE “But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. 11 My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside. 12 I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.” Job 23 Vs 10-12 (NIV)

 

FRIDAY 27

JESUS IS THE ONLY TRUE AND LIVING WORD “In the beginning [before all time] was the Word

([a]Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. 2 He was [continually existing] in the beginning [co-eternally] with God. 3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being. 4 In Him was life [and the power to bestow life], and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it or overpower it or appropriate it or absorb it [and is unreceptive to it].” John 1Vs 1-5 (AMP)

 

SATURDAY 28

GOD’S WORD IS ETERNALLY FAITHFUL “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold,
the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people,
and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, it is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.”

Rev 21 Vs 3-6 (KJV)

 

 

WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT Proverbs 30:5-6 (KJV) says: “Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee and thou be found a liar.”
