Your Devotional Message for 19th October
Scripture:
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds, then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction (Job 33:15-16).
Explanation:
Dreams have been a method of communication from God. Whereas, in the Western world many people rarely pay attention to their dreams. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that some dreams were sent by God and contain prophetic messages.
We will continue today, day 18 of the 31 days of this series called ‘The Lord Spoke’.
Today we will gain further understanding of the theme ‘hearing the Voice of God’, more importantly by Dreams. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds, then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction (Job 33:15-16).
The scriptures highlighted how God spoke to the righteous to give instruction and appeared to the wicked for judgement. A dream can come through your daily activity, as a message from God or from the devil. ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams (Acts 2:17).
Most importantly the more you are filled with the Spirit of God, the more recognition as Some dreams come directly from God, offering introspective insight and revelations about the future.
Here are a few other examples of the scriptures expounding on Hearing Lord Spoke – By Dreams.
The experience of Joseph:
Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more. So, he said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed: There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and stood upright; and indeed, your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf” (Genesis 37:5-7).
The Lord appeared to King Solomon:
At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?” (1 Kings 3:5).
The King Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream:
Now in the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was so troubled that his sleep left him (Daniel 2:1).
Have you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour?
If you are yet to receive Christ Jesus, do so today by repenting from all your sins and make Him the Lord of your life.
Thanks be to God for His fullness, grace and His victory. Glory be to God!
In the Month of October 2021, do not miss any day as we will be meditating on ‘When the Lord Speaks’
Faith Confession for Grace and Power:
Our Father, Thank you, for another day. I shall be glad and rejoice in You. Thank you for salvation, divine health, grace and glory, provision, protection, and supernatural enablement. And I declare boldly that I am aglow and strong in the spirit, filled with wisdom of God; and the grace of God is upon me (Luke 2:40). The Holy Spirit is my Senior Teacher and Partner. Lord show me Your glory. I declare that my spiritual ears, eyes, and other spiritual senses are opened to His divine revelations.
It is written, “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and of power” (1 Corinthians 2:4). Behold, I receive the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt me (Luke 10:19). I operate with the great grace and Mighty Power of God for His great works – Healings, miracles and signs and wonders. The word of God is in my mouth and as I meditate, it permeates to the deep part of my Spirit, soul, and body. I am manifesting the great power of God.
I rule over Satan and his cohort of darkness with the Fire of the Holy Ghost. I prosper in my spirit, soul, and body. My life is flourishing in all areas of life as well as my health even as my soul prospers. Success, wealth, financial abundance and victory are mine in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Glory be to God!
Further Reading scriptures to meditate:
Then the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers came in, and I told them the dream; but they did not make known to me its interpretation (Daniel 4:7).
