TAKE IN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 1 Kings 19:5-6

Then he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.” Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again.

Additional Verses

📖 1 Kings 19:1-21; John 15: 1-8; Acts 20: 32

When Elijah was fleeing persecution from Jezebel in 1 Kings 19, he became so exhausted to the point that he wished to die. As he lay under the broom tree the Word of the LORD came to him through an angel telling him to rise and feed himself with the food from heaven. The angel commanded him to eat as much as had been given to him because there was a very long journey ahead of him. God still had a lot of tasks for him among the same people he was fleeing from. At times when children of God face persecution they quickly give up on life. They forget that God is always there to sail them through whatever situation they may be facing. Isaiah 43:2 says, “When you pass through the waters, l will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned and the flames will not set you ablaze.” The Word of God is Jesus Christ Himself who now dwells in you. John1:1-3 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made.” So Jesus Christ is always there to sail you through your wilderness which includes persecution, rejection, intimidation, blackmailing and name calling, you name it. The Word of God is your spiritual food which when you take as much as you can into your soul, you will become a spiritual giant and you will be able to prevail over every contrary situation. Proverbs 24:10 says, “If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.” Fear of persecution, intimidation, blackmail or sickness and even the devil means that you lack the wisdom of God. 2 Timothy 1: 7 says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of a sound mind.” The more of the Word of God you take into yourself through meditation, the more the Holy Spirit of God will sail you through every contrary situation. The Word of God is that tool which the Holy Spirit will use as you declare with your mouth to bring healing to your bones, flesh and to your soul. Remember that Jesus Christ gave you the authority to trample upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and that nothing shall by any means harm you. Today l am encouraging you therefore to take in as much of the Word of God as you can as it is the solution to all your challenges. Alleluia!

Prayer

Thank You for giving me authority over all powers and principalities of this world that are not of Your making, Heavenly Father. I pray that l am able to take in as much of Your Word and make it alive in my life as that is the solution to all my problems. In Jesus Christ’s name l pray. Amen.
