THE CRY OF THE SPIRIT DEVOTIONALS – BY RICHARD E. S. TAKIM

TODAY’S DEVOTION (Sunday 21st September 2025)

Blessed is the man whose strength is in you, whose heart is set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools.

They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion. Psalms 84:5-7 NKJV

WELCOME TO THE 264TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF VICTORY

Today is the end of the week. Tomorrow, Sunday, we will be starting a fresh week in corporate worship. Sundays are special days in the life of the Church global; it’s a day set aside to celebrate the resurrection of our LORD and savior Jesus Christ. What we do once a year that many called easter, was not the order.

Church history made it clear that the resurrection of Jesus Christ created what we know today as Sunday worship.

Before then there were daily corporate fellowships, and a weekly one, patterned after the sabbath in Judaism. But when men like Paul the apostle came into the Kingdom, they brought the revelation of meeting on what we know today as Sunday, the first day of the week.

He also gave us the revelation of assembling with our offerings to the LORD. He wrote saying:

“Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.” 1 Corinthians 16:2 ASV

This became a pattern over the years as the Church of Jesus Christ grew and expand. Sunday is a working day in some countries but a special day to fully spend in God’s presence for us. It is our special day for corporate fellowship.

Simply put, it is our day for appearing corporately before the LORD.
People who have a destructive independent spirit may decide to sit at home to do what they call prayer on Sunday. If you are in the wrong Church, you can do that, but wisdom demands that you stop as soon as God gives you a good one, even if it’s through television or YouTube.

It’s better to attend services through YouTube than to be put in a church operating as Satan’s tube. God will have you stay away from wrong churches so that they will not be used to raise you into one of Satan’s men or women.

HISTORY HAS SHOWN HOW SATAN USE WRONG CHURCHES TO RAISE A PEOPLE FOR HIMSELF.

So, if you are in the wrong Church, God would have you sit at home to pray rather than even go preach there or do any activities. But if you are in a life changing Church and you sit at home to pray instead of joining the rest of the brethren in fellowship, you will be breaking a rule of spiritual growth - the rule of not forsaking the assembling of ourselves. The Bible says;

“not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25 NKJV

Not many have realized what God is saying in this scripture. Church attendance is very important to making Heaven.

This scripture makes it clear that as the consummation of all things draws closer, we should increase our Church attendance, not diminish. Sadly, the opposite is happening. People no longer go to Church. Some who go faithfully attend local assemblies that lack what it takes to move them from faith to faith, grace to grace, and apostolic strength to apostolic strength!

They go faithfully but are still the same in spiritual state.

Liars are not learning how not to tell lies again, in fact in many Churches, leaders teach people how to lie, steal and commit s*xual sins without being caught through what they do or say. Those are the very churches being used by Satan to raise his men.

So long as it is bringing money to the pastor, you will never be told to stop lying, stealing or doing the ungodly. I was told of how a certain preacher contributed to the spiritual decay of a man who has a call of God upon his life.

He and wife joined this Church and tried to live right but the teachings of the Church would not let them. The man started seeing it as ideal to tell lies that bring money.

HE BEGAN BY TELLING SMALL LIES, AND THEN HE GREW INTO BIG LIES UNTIL HE BECAME A CON MAN.

All the lies made him momentarily rich. He shared the financial proceeds with his pastor. Today, the same Church that taught him how to lie has sent him away. It may not be a sin not to go to church, but it is a big loss not to go to a spiritually sound church!

Churches that do not pressure you to live a pure and holy life, are being used by Satan to raise his men, people who will help him fight against the LORD, and be with him in hell on the final day. Though he is not telling them that. He is just influencing them to be that.

If this man had made himself a member of a spiritually sound Church, his life would not have been the way it is.

Some Churches today make men sons of hell. They use their faithfulness and all that to mold them into sons of hell; people who are noisy about their devotion and dedication but by God’s standard are not truly devoted or dedicated, yet they are feeling nothing about it.

They look nice and inviting physically; their song services are great and entertaining, their preaching ‘powerful’ but by spiritual impact on the souls of men they are spiritual mortuaries that carry out the spiritual embalmment of spiritually dead people to dump them in hell.

Again, those are the kind of Churches that God uses to raise men for himself, do not be part of them else you become one of his men without even knowing it. Understand that most people who are Satan’s men call themselves God’s men. When Peter operated at one time as Satan’s man, he thought he was God’s man.

He took Jesus aside and rebuked him, and the LORD called the spirit behind it, Satan. He said, “get behind me Satan, for you are an offense to me. You are not mindful of the things of God but the things of men.”

If you become Satan’s man, his spirit will be behind everything you do. You will hinder the will and ways of the LORD without even knowing it. You will even kill God’s servant and take it as a duty to the LORD.

I HAVE MET PEOPLE WHO ATTACKED ME FURIOUSLY FOR THE WORD THE LORD HAS PUT ON OUR LIPS, AND SAID GOD SENT THEM.

A woman who called herself a prophetess burnt our three books, “Overcoming Witchcraft by the Greatness of God’s Power, Riding on Covenant wings, and You shall not be poor” and said God asked her to do it. Sadly speaking, she did not end well.

Satan has a lot of men and women he has recruited using false churches and they are everywhere doing his will. It is better to sit at home praying to the LORD to lead you to a sound Church, than to worship in a Church that makes men sons of hell or Satan’s men.

Do not be a victim of the subtle satanic attacks that are being lunched on the souls of men today from the weekly service of some Churches. Jesus in the book of revelation call such places assemblies of Satan.

I remember sharing about that recently.

Our devotional text said we go from strength to strength when we appear before the LORD. That only happens in a local Church that is part of the true Church Jesus is building. It can never happen in a false church, where people are raised into Satan’s men.

When you worship in a local church that is being used to raise Satan’s men, it will fill your heart with crave for the earthly, s*x, marriage, money, fame, success, etc. If you once had the love of God, it will be replaced with a love for money.

Getting married will become your greatest vision making you a cheap prey to the s*x demon. It will make you a lover of pleasure rather than a lover of God. It will make you part of the end time race of perverted Christians known as perilous people.

God will rather have you praying at home or follow a church that is millions of miles far from you through technology than to have you seated in an assembly of Satan called church.

GOD WILL NOT WANT YOU RAISED BY SATAN TO BECOME PART OF HIS MEN!!

He wants you in his image and likeness and will not want you to do anything with Satan. Any church that is not increasing your capacity to live right and say no to sin is silently preparing you to spend eternity with the devil, by raising you to become one of his men.

Any Church that is not talking about your need to be rich towards God, but just your need to be rich with money and all that, is raising you to become one of Satan’s men this end time. Any church that is not increasing your moral excellence but calls your sins weakness, is raising you to become one of Satan’s men this end times.

God sent this word to warn us to beware of this spiritual development within the church circle. When we say the Church circle, we are referring to the spiritual circle of false Churches and preachers around. Do not forget, whoever is not having an intimate relationship with the LORD, is not safe eternally. Most of them are Satan’s men.

All who are in any religion, a part of in an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, as LORD and Savior, are Satan’s men. It is my prayer that none of us will become part of his team.

A few years ago, we preached a message from the LORD titled, the Army of Satan among the people of God. It is real. It was a prophetic alarm. There is an army of Satan among us, and it is rising daily. One of its departments is in the church and the other in the world. Both are lethal weapons in the hands of the evil one. We must be aware of that and become sold out to our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.

I pray that the LORD will lead us into every other truth that will complete this one in our private Bible studies. That none of us will become careless. That we will not be deceived into becoming part of Satan’s army or faithful men and women. Amen!!

MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR THE DAY!

THE CRY OF THE SPIRIT DEVOTIONALS – BY RICHARD E. S. TAKIM

TODAY’S DEVOTION (Saturday 20th September 2025)

“For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.

Anyone who has rejected Moses' law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. And again, "The Lord will judge His people." It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:26-31 NKJV

WELCOME TO THE 263rd DAY OF OUR YEAR OF VICTORY

Welcome to a fresh day from the LORD. As we have always maintained on this platform of grace and truth, our whole duty as men is to fear God and depart from evil. Becoming a Christian is a calling to do just that all your life and to influence others to do the same.

Christianity is not a religion, but a life that is outsourced from the 3rd Heaven to the earth. The life is full of holiness, God’s kingdom power, truth, faithfulness and Christlike virtues. Anything outside that is not Christianity but insanity. The kind of Christianity in the church today is simply insanity in practice.

I cannot imagine how a Sunday school teacher or any other Church worker or preacher will be having s*xual in*******se with people they are not married to - living in terrible sins of le***anism, gay, fornication or adultery and saying “nothing can separate them from the Love of God”, instead of falling down in deep repentance and sorrow for sin, like we all should do if we fall into sin. It’s terrible!

WILLFULLY LIVING IN SIN AND CALLING YOURSELF SAVED IS A TERRIBLE DECEPTION.

The Bible calls it “the deception of sin.” It is also called the deceitfulness of sin. The deception of sin is the ability of sin or any ungodly act to promise us pleasure or benefit while delivering a result of pain, guilt, and eventual separation from the active presence of God.

It is through the deception of sin that one moves from an erratic sinner to a persistent one. It creates a spiritual amnesia where you forget that God is watching you and angels taking record. It downplays the inherent consequences, appealing to our desires, presenting itself as attractive and desirable, but leading one to a destructive end.

One of the destructive ends is a separation from the active and life-giving presence of God, leaving one in a state of spiritual death, a realm where no spiritual life but religious or church life exists.

Who will tell our generation that persistent sin separates a believer from the active presence of God, making it impossible for him or her to be in love with spiritual activities, like prayer, church attendance, fasting, personal or corporate Bible study, etc. Who will tell our generation that saying “nothing can separate us from the love of God” while living in sin is delusional.

The deception of sin drives one through the path of persistent sin, and makes sure one’s love for God grows cold, and goes ahead to replace a heart full of freedom, a sense of peace with God, and the liberty of Christ, with a heart full of guilt, shame, pain, regrets and unbelief.

The exploits of sin cannot be quantified. Through its terrible deception, it takes one back and back to a sinful act repeatedly, downplaying the consequences. It tells you, “Take the pleasure” only to give you a life of pain, regrets, guilt and eventual separation from God’s presence that was carefully concealed within that pleasure.

I think it will be proper to throw more light into the deception of sin.

The deception of sin is one of the most subtle deceptions in human history. It has kept the ungodly so, and men and women of iniquity have been safely locked under its grip. It is one reason many will be found in hell. In the church world, it has been telling us, nothing shall separate us from the love of God while leading us to sin, only for many to wake up to discover that we have been separated from God’s marvelous presence.

THE DECEPTION OF SIN IS NOT SOMETHING WE ARE TO IGNORE IF HEAVEN IS OUR GOAL.

Through its effective ability to promise us pleasure only to deliver pain, it has quenched the flames of burning warriors of righteousness, shut down the voices of men and women of prayer and prophecy, closed down once vibrant churches, shut down oceanic moves of God, and its targeting you and I for shame, reproach and possible eternal life in the lake of fire. That is why we must all fight it.

The deception was responsible for the dark side of great men of Faith like Samson, David, and the like. It is responsible for the dark sides of our lives that we are not proud to talk about, and trust me, every one of us in Christ Jesus has a dark side we are not proud about. The dark side of some of us is huge and awful, others mild and not too awful.

Yes, the deception of sin is responsible for departure from faith, any fall from grace and all forms of willful sins. Some of its characteristics are obvious. It disguises itself by appealing to our sinful desires, satisfaction, and fulfilment but its ultimate result is always pain, guilt, and disappointment.

It deceives by discouraging thoughts about the negative outcomes and punishment associated with that sin, like having s*x with him or her outside marriage, going gay or le***an, telling that lie, taking that money, stealing that jewelry, extortion etc., thereby making an ungodly action seem less serious than it is.

There are so many s*x slaves in Church today who see nothing wrong with their lives of sin because of the deception of sin. It makes believers not to see that when the Bible says nothing can separate us from the love of God, it listed those things (Read Romans 8:23-39). It did not say sin cannot separate us from the LOVE of GOD.

SIN SEPARATED ADAM AND HAS BEEN SEPARATING PEOPLE FROM THE LOVE OF GOD FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION.

You may be a pope, if you are living in any kind of grievous sins; you are already separated from the active presence of God where God’s love exits. If you die you will go to hell. God loves sinners but not the sins they are living in. The Bible says because of their sins God is angry with the wicked every day.

Each time a believer commits such grievous sins like adultery, fornication, stealing, heresies, unbelief, selfishness, love of money, or lying, it grieves the Holy Spirit. It does not rejoice His heart. Understand that what grieves the Holy Spirit can separate a man from the love of God.

Friend, if present day Christians do not hear the authentic gospel and change from our wicked ways, there will be more Church people in hell than those who never went to Church. Hell is enlarging itself daily, taking out many in Church. Our devotional text today says,

“For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Anyone who has rejected Moses' law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. And again, "The Lord will judge His people." It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:26-31 NKJV

These are some the Scriptures that make me ask myself which Bible these carnal preachers and Christians are reading when they live in sin and claim nothing shall separate us from the LOVE of God. The Bible is clear on sin.

IT SAYS IF WE CALL OURSELVES SAVED AND LIVE A LIFE OF SIN THEREAFTER, WE ARE LOST.

In other words, if we give our lives to Christ and then slip back into adultery, fornication, stealing, lying or any wicked thing or sinful life, we have counted the blood of the covenant by which we were sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace. We need to repent.

Sadly, the deception of sin is responsible for all these. It distorts truth by misrepresenting what is good and true, leading us to trust our own feelings and independent understanding rather than God’s ways.

It makes us willful sinners by turning us into believers who appeal to self-interest, encouraging us to act on selfish instincts, transmitting into us a faith that tells us to express ourselves, enjoy the pleasure and find happiness and fulfilment, even when we know it is a sin against God.

There are times that the deception of sin will use flawed bible examples to encourage us to commit sin, especially s*xual sins, or hide the consequences of sin from us.

It has used the flaws of David to encourage many, especially spiritual leaders, to engage in s*xual sins with whoever they felt is s*xually appealing, it has used the flaws of Noah to encourage some to take alcohol, and the flaws of Abraham to encourage some to commit the sin of adultery or fornication with their s*xually appealing house helps.

It has used the flaws of Jacob to make believers walk in deception, the flaws of Samson to influence some to sleep with harlots, and the flaws of many bible figures to keep so many in a life of sin, deception, trespass, and all forms of ungodly behaviors and carnality.

If you want to deal with the deception of sin, you must take very decisive actions against it.

You must see the painful, shameful, and destructive result of every pleasure of sin, and use it to fight the temptation to sin. You must walk in Bible truth and not in distorted truth. You must not allow the flaws of Bible men to be an inspiration. You must fix your heart in their faith, season of spiritual strength, perfection and holiness.
That is the word of the LORD!!!

LET THIS SCRIPTURE BE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR YOU TODAY!

TODAY’S DEVOTION (Friday 19th September 2025)

“Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.” Romans 12:19 NKJV

WELCOME TO THE 262nd DAY OF OUR YEAR OF VICTORY

We thank the LORD God almighty for His mercies in our lives. We thank Him for the truth of His words that we have always encountered on this platform.

When flames of truth burn off errors and deception, there are always sparks of reaction from people who are beneficiary of what the LORD is frowning at. That is the reason for all the backlash we do face in ministry, as God’s teaching prophets and apostles.

Personally, I have been called a cult, demonized, vilified and contemptibly called, the Nigerian here in Kenya because of the same reasons. They try to diminish us in so many ways with better words they shoot at us like arrows because of the flames of truth on our lips, our pen and fingertips.

Sometimes it is difficult, but when we look back at the lives and times of our fathers, men like Paul the apostle who went through the same, we will be encouraged.

When we look at the lives of those that these flames of truth are refining, we receive strength. When flames of truth burn off the flesh and all forms of carnality, they leave a mark behind. That was the mark Paul and many other apostles of Grace and Truth in scriptures had.

It is part of the marks of the LORD Jesus Christ because Jesus is the way, the Truth and the Life. It is a mark that makes one Christlike in moral nature and spiritual power.

IT MAKES ONE TO DESIRE TO LIVE THE WAY THE LORD AND THE EARLY CHURCH LIVED.

Today, in awe, we hear the same people who vilified and condemned us for what we taught on CITIZEN TV and elsewhere, stealing from it to preach. I wish it was out of true encounters with the LORD, but clearly it is not. That is why they have never tendered public apologies for all they called us.

They are only counterfeiting the message because they realized the LORD is with us and has taken His sheep from their dark controls and terrible errors.

Truth is first a person, that person is Jesus Christ. He manifested in form of grace and truth and walked in the lives of men and women resulting in the selection of Godly and Heavenly revelation called the Bible. When kindled by the Holy Ghost, the truth can leave a mark on you – a mark that will make sure no devil trouble you again. The Bible says,

“From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.” Galatians 6:17 NKJV

There is certain trouble that leaves you when you allow the flames of truth to consume you until you become pure as gold. Yes, there are devils that will stay permanently away from you when go through the refining process of burning truths from the throne room of God.

That is the process that takes place in the lives of those the LORD has given us to disciple.

The freedom that such refining process and power of the word of truth brings is what the devil does not want any to come into, because it keeps us forever beyond his reach. That was why we were vilified. But he failed and will always fail. The flames have power to burn off spiritual dirt in our lives.

Do not forget that it is spiritual dirt in our lives that makes us eatable by devils.

But when we abide in the word of God until the flames of the truth in the word get the dirt burnt off, we will become free and free indeed. That was what Jesus made clear to us when He said,

…"If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:31-32 NKJV

God wants us consumed by His truth, and He wants us abiding in it so that the flames in His truth will remain unquenchable in our lives, refining us, purifying us, building us and keeping us refined and purified.

IF WE ARE KEPT REFINED AND PURIFIED, THE EVIL ONE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TOUCH US.

That is why the bible says:

“We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.” 1 John 5:18 NKJV

It is the flames of truth in the word of Christ that we are keeping that makes it impossible for the evil or wicked one to touch us, it is not really our prayers. As necessary and powerful as righteous prayers are, there is something stronger than righteous prayer.

It is stronger because it makes righteous prayer powerful and life changing.

If you desire to make your prayer powerful and life changing, then you must have your heart kindled and consumed by the flames of strong apostolic truths, truth in the word of Christ (the bible describe those words as the testimony of Jesus Christ).

When we keep the truth, the flames in it will kindle our lives and protect us from the evil one.

God is the God of truth, and the flame in His truth consumes the spiritual dirt’s in the lives of the willing and refine them for His use or His blessings in their lives. But the flames do not do that in the lives of all. There are those that it terrifies. Those are the people who profit or live in error and benefit from darkness.

When it terrifies them, they will begin to hate or attack the one God may be using to spread the truth. Their hate blindfolds them not to see who is behind the truth that is being spewed out with a fervency and accuracy of the Spirit that is out of this world. Paul was one of such when he was Saul.

HE THOUGHT HE COULD SUCCEED AGAINST THE TRUTH UNTIL JESUS MET HIM.

When Christ met him, here is what he said:

"I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads." So he, trembling and astonished, said, "Lord, what do you want me to do?" Then the Lord said to him, "Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." Acts 9:5-6 NKJV

Saul got up from the ground that day knowing for the first time that he was attacking Christ Himself by attacking His truth bearers. Those in religious or moral darkness persecute bearers of God’s word when the flame in its truths touches them.

Sadly, many who attack bearers of fiery truths do that thinking they are doing harm to the bearers. They do not know that it is not the bearers they are harming but the One who is bearing the bearers up, to cry His truths in their hearts – the LORD Himself!

Sometimes people who do such things do it and prosper. They kill God’s redemptive work in the name of God and still prosper. The Bible spoke about things that makes the righteous sad. There are so many things that are making the righteous sad today.

One of it is the prosperity of the wicked. It’s not easy for the righteous to see the prosperity of the wicked and remain happy because it is the prosperity of people God is angry with every day.

Someone may be wondering why the sadness! Well, anyone who claims to be a Child of God and is happy when God is sad, is not His child. He is an alien in the transmits household of faith. It is the sadness of God that the Holy Spirit transmits into the hearts of the righteous that makes them sad.

The prosperity of people God is angry with every day, will destroy the prosperity of those God is happy with every day. That is the reason for the sadness. The prosperity of the wicked with a hate kindled by the flames of God’s truth will be used to quench that truth. That is why God is saddened.

God wants our hearts refined and purified by the flames in His word of truth and righteousness. It is when that happens that our life will be brightened up. The Bible says the paths of the just is like a shining light, that shines brighter unto a perfect day. What makes it shine is the flames of Bible truth that refines and purifies the just as he submits to God’s will and ways!!!

God sent this word to teach us to submit to His truths and let them purify and refine us. They will give efficacy to our Christians lives, improve the results we get in prayer, and give us a life that God designed us to have. Amen

LET THESE WORDS FROM OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST BE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR THE DAY!!

“I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.” John 17:14-19 NKJV

THE CRY OF THE SPIRIT DEVOTIONALS – BY RICHARD E. S. TAKIM

TODAY’S DEVOTION (Wednesday 17th September 2025)

Thus says the Lord: "Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest?

For all those things My hand has made, and all those things exist," Says the Lord. "But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at My word.” Isaiah 66:1-2 NKJV

WELCOME TO THE 260TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF VICTORY

God has been so faithful and gracious to both the faithful and the unfaithful. He has been so merciful to us even in seasons when we do not deserve mercy. He has been patient, so patient that many sinners now think divine judgement no longer exists.

I remember a story told by Late Billy Graham. He said an Atheist once stood to Blaspheme against GOD. He screamed all kinds of unprintable things at God and said all manner of things standing before a preacher. Then he said to the preacher, if your God is alive let him strike me dead now.

But the preacher looked at him with deep love for his soul and responded, “whatever you have said is too small to exhaust the patience of my GOD.” That was the end of the story.

Our patience as men can easily be exhausted by a moment of provocation but God’s patience is too deep to be exhausted by an angry atheist or any other sinful soul that may be involved in all kinds of wicked acts. God’s patience will not even allow Him to strike the most valiant offender dead.

Apostle Peter wrote saying,

“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up” 2 Peter 3:9-10 NKJV

One major reason why God is so patient with men is because of the nature of His fury. The fury of God is so terrible that none can stand. It consumed S***m and Gomorrah and covered part of their land with the dead sea. The Bible teaches that no one, not even an angel can bear His wrath.

IT CAN BURN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION BECAUSE EVERYTHING ABOUT GOD IS TIMELESS.

If you look at the second verse of the scripture above, you will see another reason why God’s patience cannot be easily exhausted by even the most valiant offender. His fury can consume the whole world. So, an individual is too small and minute for it.

In fact, it is His fury that will refurbish the earth after the great tribulation period (a period described in Bible prophecy as 7 years of God’s fury).

If there is something you are doing wickedly that you have not receive a blow from God for it, please do not take His patience for approval of your sinful or wicked acts. The purpose of God’s patience with sinners is revealed by what apostle Peter wrote in the scripture we just read – repentance. That is the purpose.

God’s apostle said, “God is patient towards us because He is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”

Something we wonder why certain wicked people in our age and time are not punished instantly by the LORD for the terrible things they do. Sometimes we wonder why people will touch God’s Holy men and women and go free. Yes, these things can be troublesome a times – why is God not acting, we ask.

I listened to the late Dr. Sumrall share something about what believers were going through in China in 1996.

He said the communist so descended on them that one day, cannibal dogs belonging to the communist party were commanded to eat the flesh of a pastor who was hit on his head by the security forces of the communist party and died. Part of his sins was having a group of congregants that God used to raise the dead.

After the dogs had finished eating the flesh, the man said to the believers who watched the horror, “you said your God raises the dead, call him to come raise your pastor.” What affront on God can be more contemptuous than this.

IT WAS TERRIBLE!! BUT GOD’S PATIENCE WITH THE SINFUL MAN WAS NOT EXHAUSTED. SO, HE WAS NOT STRUCK DEAD BY THE LORD!!!

God has reserved a day for the judgment of all. While we are still alive, we are to make use of His patience and not take it to be, either a sign of weakness, an approval of our ungodliness, a statement that our sinful behaviors are no longer adjudged as sinful by God, or His nonexistence.

We must understand that God is just patience towards us all. What exhausts our patience with wicked and terrible people does not exhaust His patience with us. No human or any created thing can stand the power of God’s fury. Hence, He is slow to anger and is not quick at releasing it.

God’s patience does not suggest in any way that the wicked are right! God is just restraining Himself from using what I will call the nuclear option. I have heard people who pray against wicked men, living shorter lives than the wicked men they prayed against. It does not mean God validated the wicked; His patience is saving them from His blows.

God’s patience with the erring can be confusing a times to the righteous. I listened to the political leaders of nations with nuclear weapons share. They said nuclear weapons are not to be used.

The reason is simple; if one is dropped anywhere in the world the impact can go all around the globe. Within a short time, the world might be no more. Even the lives of those who shoot the nuclear weapon will not be secured from the damning consequences of the weapon! That is why nations with nuclear weapons apply restraint.

That is how God’s fury is. It is Heaven’s nuclear weapon which was not originally to be released. Sadly, it will be released on the day of the consummation of all things. The Bible calls that day the Day of the LORD. It says:

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up”

IT IS THE FURY OF GOD THAT WILL BURN UP THE THINGS CONTAINED IN THIS BIBLE PROPHECY.

The fury of God burns in eternity and time. It is timeless! Nothing can quench it when it is kindled on the unrepentant. That was why Paul, God’s foremost apostle of Grace wrote saying:

“For we must all be manifested before the judgment-seat of the Christ, that each may receive the things [done] in the body, according to those he has done, whether [it be] good or evil. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord we persuade men….” 2 Corinthians 5:10-11 Darby

Many do not know that whatever we are presently doing while living in this body, will determine what God will do to us when we step out of it. The Bible says we will give account to God on the last day. That day is the day that His patience will no longer save anyone from His fury. It will be the day of GOD’s severity! The day of His terror!

Knowing therefore the terror of the LORD we persuade men….
A generation that does not have the revelation knowledge of God’s terror will never have the true fear of God in their hearts. If you do not have the true fear of God in your heart, you will be calling sin a mistake and abominations weaknesses. At best you will have a religious fear that does not turn you away from your sin.

In fact, it will redefine sins to you and present a mild definition of what it really is in God’s sight.

You will come to the delusion that says nothing can separate us from the love of GOD – not even our active sins or wickedness. While the Bible made it clear that our sins can separate us from the love of God. Isaiah Prophesied saying:

“Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear.

For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken lies, Your tongue has muttered perversity.” Isaiah 59:1-3 NKJV

MOST SINS ARE COMMITTED WITH FINGERS. GOD DOES TAKE NOTE OF WHAT WE DO WITH OUR FINGERS.

The fear of GOD is the only way out of His fury. A heart that fears God will depart from evil. A heart that fears God will not call sin weakness or believe in the nothing-can-separate-us-from-the-love-of-God delusion. God will never pour His fury into the lives of those who fear Him. Though He is not partial. He is just! He as a special love for those who fear Him! The Bible says;

“As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.” Psalms 103:12-14 NKJV

Indeed, God has a special love for those who fear Him. As a father pities his Children, so the LORD pities them. He measures their frame and remembers that they are dust. He does not pour His fury on them but Himself.

Yes, show me a man or woman who fears God, and I will show you a man or woman (a house) that God will pour Himself into.

Many of us are yet to realize that we were originally created to be God’s house on earth. But lack of fear for Him can keep Him away from us. God is looking for people who will fear Him enough to tremble at His word – a people He can pour Himself into and dwell in. That brings us to our devotional text for the day. It says:

Thus says the Lord: "Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest? For all those things My hand has made, and all those things exist," Says the Lord. "But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at My word.” Isaiah 66:1-2 NKJV

Become part of the generation of those who tremble at God’s word. Yes, become part of the generation that does not despise the word but tremble at it. If God can find a people who tremble at His word, He will change their world. We tremble at His word when we submit to it like Mary did.

WE TREMBLE AT HIS WORDS WHEN WE FALL IN REPENTANCE EACH TIME WE ARE REBUKED OR CONFRONTED FOR OUR UNGOLDLINESS.

If you look at the lives of David and Saul, you will see two generations of people. Saul represents the generation that does not tremble at God’s word. This generation will tear the garment of their prophet and that of anyone God may be using to bring a word that corresponds with or confronts the nature of their hearts.

But the David generation represents another generation – a generation of those who tremble at the word of the LORD!

The David generation is that generation that seeks after God’s heart. God will give it a kingdom and use it to open Heavenly portals strategically over nations. If you want to count in the Kingdom of God this end time, you must become part of that generation that fears Him enough to tremble at His word! Amen.

LET THIS SCRIPTURE BE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR YOU TODAY!

“But as for you, O man of God, flee from all these things; aim at and pursue righteousness (right standing with God and true goodness), godliness (which is the loving fear of God and being Christlike), faith, love, steadfastness (patience), and gentleness of heart.

Fight the good fight of the faith; lay hold of the eternal life to which you were summoned and [for which] you confessed the good confession [of faith] before many witnesses.

In the presence of God, Who preserves alive all living things, and of Christ Jesus, Who in His testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I [solemnly] charge you. To keep all His precepts unsullied and flawless, irreproachable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Anointed One),

Which [appearing] will be shown forth in His own proper time by the blessed, only Sovereign (Ruler), the King of kings and the Lord of lords, Who alone has immortality [in the sense of exemption from every kind of death] and lives in unapproachable light, Whom no man has ever seen or can see. Unto Him be honor and everlasting power and dominion. Amen (so be it).” 1 Timothy 6:11-16 AMPC
