Look And Live! – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional September 4th

(Look At God’s Word And Take Your Eyes Off Everything Else)

TO THE BIBLE: Hebrews 12:2 AMPC
“Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus….”

LET’S TALK
Daniel’s parents hadn’t paid off his tuition fees, and his school had sent copious letters to his parents, reminding them of the pending money for the new term.

Looking at this, Daniel’s first and immediate response was to turn to the Word of God; he meditated on and declared God’s Word concerning the financial challenge. Sure enough, and in time, the school tuition was paid in full and for several terms afterward!

In John 3:14, the Lord Jesus said something symbolic. He said, “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up.”

This had to do with the Jews in the wilderness, when they were bitten by fiery serpents that caused them burning pain and death.

God then instructed Moses to make a serpent of brass, raise it on a pole, and everyone who looked at it would live.

He didn’t say they should look at the serpent and pray; there were no ceremonies or rituals; all they had to do was look at the brazen serpent and live. And when they looked, they were healed. Hallelujah!

This was symbolic of Jesus at the Cross, taking your place of sorrow, pain, disappointment, sickness, and failure, saying that you should never suffer them.

But beyond the Cross, we now have His life. We live because He lives. By reason of His resurrection, we’ve been brought into the newness of life (Romans 6:4).

The life we have now is divine. Therefore, what you have to look at today isn’t the Cross, but His Word! In His Word, you see what He’s done for you, who He’s made you, and your inheritance in Him.

Our opening verse says to look away to Jesus, but who is Jesus? He is the Word! It makes no difference what dire situations and circumstances you face; don’t gripe or whimper!

Look to the Word! Look to the Word and see your glorious and glorified life! Look to the Word and see your success, victory, and prosperity. Look to the Word and see that you’re indomitable, full of the Holy Ghost and power. Hallelujah!

Speak:
As I feed on the Word, success, favours, and grace are multiplied in my life. My life is an endless stream of blessings and the miraculous because I live in and by the Word. Amen.
