FAITH CAPSULE: Against wicked and darkened world are you giving self to the word of God for deliverance?
Judges 14
The word of God, the Spirit of the Lord is power of God. Through the pages of the bible, the power of God demonstrated healing, deliverance and preservation. The Bible recorded about Samson and the Spirit of God that worked for him. It is written, “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.” (Judges 14:5-6) With the Spirit of the Lord there is nothing a surprising challenge can do but to fail and not prevail. The Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson when a surprise lion came at him and Samson prevailed against the lion.
In man’s every day journey in this wicked and darkened world, unexpected lions roam back and forth ready to devour man. In your daily journey, are you encountering unexpected lion? A journey that is yet to encounter a lion is not an evidence of a journey that is free from lion. Wisdom is the way to prepare for expected or unexpected lion that is meant to devour man. 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 that keeps man not to stumble. In your journey in the wicked and darkened world are you giving self to the word of God? The word of God is true to deliver. The Spirit of God delivered Samson from his enemies.
Are you spending time to study the word rather than skim through the word of God daily? Encountering the journey of today, in this wicked and darkened world, demands not to leave home without the word. Meditate the word of God that keeps man to God and not to be far away from the presence of God. The lion that encountered with 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 is able to deliver man from known and unknown lions in the journey of the wicked and darkened world.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to increase studying word of His deliverance.
