Praise the Lord, and a very good morning to you.
-
Welcome to our morning Glory devotion, which is powered by
-
Harvestapol International Commercy. Today's devotion will be shared by Pastor
-
and Missus armond Apia.
-
Please let's share word of prayer.
-
Father, will thank you this morning for your goodness, and
-
my Sisterwards asked thank you for the gift of life
-
and the privilege to gather around your word. We welcome
-
your presence into this moment, and we ask in the
-
name of Jesus that you nourish us with all grace
-
and wisdom in.
-
The precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Amen, Let's take our confession from Joshua chapter one, verse eight.
-
This book of the Law shall not depart out of
-
my mouth, but I shall meditate in it day and night,
-
that I may observe to do according to all that
-
is written in it. For then I will make my
-
way prosperous, and then I will have good success.
-
Amen.
-
Our devotion is titled the Simplicity of the Supernatural. Will
-
take a scripture reading from First Kings chapter nineteen, verse
-
nine to thirteen.
-
N e t. He went into a cave there and
-
spent the night.
-
All of a sudden, the Law's message came to him.
-
Why are you here, Elijah?
-
He answered, I have been absolutely loyal to the Lord,
-
God of Heaven's armies. Even though the Israelites have abandoned
-
the covenant they made with you, turned down your altars
-
and killed your prophet to the sword. I alone am left,
-
and now they want to take my life. The Lord said,
-
go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord. Look,
-
the Lord is ready to pass by. A very powerful
-
wind went before the Lord, digging into the mountain and
-
cossain landslide, but the Lord was not in the wind.
-
After the windstorm, there was an earthquake, but the Lord
-
was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake, there was
-
a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire.
-
After the fire, there was a soft whisper. When Elijah
-
heard it, he covered his face with his rope and
-
went out and stood at the entrance of the cave.
-
All of a sudden, a voice asked me, why are
-
you here, Elijah?
-
Amen? May the Lord bless the reading of his Holy Word.
-
The simplicity of the supernatural. Many believers today have been
-
conditioned to associate the supernatural with word is spectacular or dramatic,
-
simplicity is quietly dismissed as inadequate or even suspicious. Yet
-
the account of Elijah at Hurry unsettles this assumption. There
-
was a wind, an earthquake, and a fire, and as
-
powerful as they may be, the Lord wasn't in any
-
of them. Instead, the Lord showed up in a still
-
small voice or whisper, proving that the supernatural is not
-
always accompanied by a spectacle. Many believers pursue spectacular expressions
-
of spirituality, convinced that God is most present where drama
-
is most versible. There are others who are also not
-
persuaded by such displays, and they eventually go wary of
-
the supernatural Lord together, unsettled by how it is publicly
-
portrayed the simplicity of the supernaturalism discerning the voice of
-
the Lord. Sometimes in the heat of the spectacular, we
-
miss out on one of the most important ingredients that
-
makes for our good in Christ, which is hearing the
-
voice of God and obeying it. And that is even
-
more powerful than any other spectacular experience. We may have
-
simple and struct through the voice of your Holy Spirit,
-
like read your Bible, love your enemy, go to church,
-
walk in order, and not less as spiritual acts. They
-
are the areas that reveal the power of God when
-
heeded to yes. That is how simple the supernatural can be.
-
God speaks so that his people may live, obey.
-
And endure.
-
When believers learn to discern his voice beyond noise and spectacle,
-
the supernatural is no longer a source of confusion or fascination,
-
but a means of transformation. The church is called not
-
to chase the wind fire or earthquakes, but stand attentively
-
before the Lord and listen with accompanied obedience. Amen, beloved,
-
let's take our memory verse for today, and we take
-
it from Second Corinthians eleven, verse three. But I fear
-
less by any means, as a serpent beguid ive through
-
his subtilty, So your minds should be corrupted from the
-
simplicity that is in Christ.
-
Amen, let us pray, Father, well, thank you for speaking
-
to us through your word.
-
Today.
-
We ask for grace to be doers of your word
-
and not hear us.
-
Only.
-
Let the truth we have heard about the simplicity of
-
the supernatural bear fruits in our lives and bring glory
-
to your name.
-
In Jesus's name, With great amen.
-
God bless you for joining today's episode of our Morning
-
Glory Devotion. Join us again tomorrow at the same time
-
for another edition of the Morning Glory Devotion. Until then,
-
remain in God's presence and stay blessed.
-
Shalom.
