DAILY MEDITATIONS AND AFFIRMATIONS - 15

[Albert Finch]

Galatians 1:10 - "If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ."

Observation:

IF I AM TO WALK WITH CHRIST I NEED TO BE DELIVERED FROM THE FEAR OF MAN, THE COMPULSION TO BE ACCEPTED BY MEN, AND THE MOTIVE OF WANTING TO RECEIVE ANYTHING FROM THEM.

Acts 6:4 - "But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word."

TO PRAY IS TO CHANGE.

Observation:

PRAYER IS THE CENTRAL AVENUE GOD USES TO TRANSFORM ME. IF I AM UNWILLING TO CHANGE I WILL ABANDON PRAYER AS A NOTICEABLE CHARACTERISTIC OF MY LIFE.

Psalm 63:1 - "O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is."

John 15:7 - "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you."

Some are willing to spend hours in prayer asking for a miracle instead of planting the Word of God in their hearts, which in time would produce the miracle. Prayer is what water and fertilizer are to a seed. They help the Word release its life.

But if you haven't planted the seed, it doesn't matter how much water and fertilizer you apply, the soil still won't produce fruit. It's the seed that has life!

AFFIRMATION:

The creative language of God is demonstrated when I speak forth the creative word of God in boldness and confidence because it is abiding in my spirit.
