We are going to make a lot of progress for the rest of the year. This month will help you intiate the amazing things that the spirit of God will do in your life the rest of this year.
Why would we have needed the spirit of truth if not that the world was going to be filled with so much darkness and deception?
Jesus warned us. Now you understand why you need to be filled with the holy spirit. With the holy spirit, you won't be deceived. He will guide you to the truth.
We have got to reach the whole world. We have to take it seriously. Preach to the whole world and to their worlds.
You cannot crown Jesus.
The only one crowned in the bible was the antichrist.
No one called Jesus 'Jesus' after He resurrected. He was called 'Lord'. You cannot talk to him directly and address him like that. If you know him, you won't address him that way.
You're going to make so much progress. You will advance on every side.
Josh.1.8 - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Look what he tells you to do.
Did you notice here he was talking to Joshua at the very beginning of his leadership, after the death of Moses. The Lord showed him how to be a success in his life and how to be progress.
This book of the law: This was the word of God given to them
Shall not depart out of your mouth; you've got to talk it. The word of the Lord must not depart from your mouth.
Meditate on the word day and night.
Meditate : Hagar- to meditate, ruminate, cogitate, to mutter, to roar.
I did teach on the three levels of meditation.
If you meditate on it, You will observe to do. You will become a doer.
When you meditate on it, it will stay in your heart and your heart will compel you to act accordingly.
You will find yourself doing the word.
You will make your way prosperous.
You will have good success.
1Tim.4.15 - Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
This is remarkable.
Meditate: to revolve in your mind. To imagine. To contemplate. To give attention. To focus ones attention.
What things was Paul talking about?
1Tim.4.12 - Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
He was telling Him what life to live if he was going to be successful.
Are you pushed to do things that are wrong because of the environment in which you live! Or because of things you see on the internet? Don't you know that Jesus is the Lord of your eyes?.. you don't look at, or read everything. You have to live a sanctified life.
Profiting: advancement, progress.
Appear: to spread abroad. To become apparent. Openly manifest.
When Jesus said "when you pray, go into your closet to pray. The father who sees in secret will reward you openly". That's the same word used in the above scripture.
The Lord will reward you publicly.
You will make such progress that can not be denied.
Your advancement will become apparent to all and spread abroad.
This month of August is the month of Meditation.
You are about to spread abroad.
To make such advancement that cannot be denied.
But the secret is what we do this month.
Mutter the word, confess the word. Meditate day and night. Soak your spirit with the word of God.
At the end of August, you will know that you have made a lot of progress and in the montjs following, the results will begin to show.
Some warnings for our young people
Prov.19.18 - Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
Read in NIV: Discipline your children, for in that there is hope. Do not be a willing party to their death.
Foundation school is Compulsory and must be taken seriously. Start building the blocks of your life with success in the word.
Share the word with others. The more you share it with other people, the more your life is enriched with the word.
