FAITH CAPSULE: The word of God delivers and preserves from the wicked of the world.
Judges 14
Against a wicked and darkened world, are you giving yourself to the word of God for deliverance?
The word of God, the Spirit of the Lord, is the power of God. _
The power of God testifies to healing, deliverance, and preservation through the pages of the Bible.
The Bible records Samson and the Spirit of God that worked in him.
Judges 14:5-6 documents, “So Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah. Now to his surprise, a young lion came roaring against him. And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he tore the lion apart as one would have torn apart a young goat, though he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.”
With the Spirit of the Lord, there is nothing a surprising challenge can do but fail and not prevail.
The enemy cannot be more powerful.
The Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson when a surprise lion came at him, and Samson prevailed against the lion.
Every day of the journey in this wicked and darkened world, unexpected lions roam back and forth, ready to devour available ones.
In your daily journey, are you encountering an unexpected lion?
A journey that is yet to encounter a lion is not evidence that free from a lion.
Wisdom is the way to prepare for an expected or unexpected lion that wants to devour on the way.
Taking to the word, the Spirit of God is wisdom.
Jesus spoke in John 6:63, “…the words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.”
The Spirit of the Lord that is power is the word of God.
The word of God is also the light generator, and when it enters, it gives light that keeps one not to stumble.
As you journey in the wicked and darkened world, are you giving yourself to the word of God?
The word of God is truthful to deliver and to preserve.
The Spirit of God delivered Samson from his enemies.
Are you studying the word of God rather than skimming through the word of God daily?
Encountering the journey in this wicked and darkened world, demand not to leave home without the word.
Meditating on the word of God is communicating with God.
Meditate on the word of God that keeps one to God and not to be far away from the presence of God.
The lion that encountered Samson was a surprise, but the Spirit of the Lord upon Samson made him an overcomer of the lion.
Give self to the word of God, the Spirit of God that can deliver one from known and unknown lions in the journey of the wicked and darkened world.
Prayer for today: Ask for the strength to increase the studying word of His deliverance.
