VOP 2022: January 16, 2022 - The Word, a Spiritual Torchlight “Pure and Contrite Spirit”

VOP 2022: January 16, 2022 The Word, a Spiritual Torchlight “Pure and Contrite Spirit” The hidden things to man are very obvious to God. Therefore we must constantly purge ourselves and get rid of every filthiness, so that when the Lord searches us with His spiritual torchlight through His Word, we will be counted worthy to portable of His blessings. The Word of God is the Lamp that God uses to search our hearts. We must hide the Word in our hearts, so that sin will have no space or room to dwell in our hearts. The Word of God tells us to guard our hearts with all diligence for out of it flows the issues of Life. Once we can settle it in our hearts, we will obtain the mercies of God and ultimately divine favour. A contrite or repentant heart will always yield us God’s mercies and divine attention. We can live a life free of sin and guilt by confessing Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour and calling on the Holy Spirit to guide us on the new journey of Salvation which comes with spiritual and material blessings that brings joy and peace all round, Amen. Nugget: You must be intentional about living a sin-free or guilt-free life if you desire to be singled out by God for uncommon favour. “Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.” Proverbs‬ ‭4:23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. “Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.” Psalms‬ ‭119:105‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise.” Psalms‬ ‭51:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars.”” ‭‭II Chronicles‬ ‭16:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. Prayer: Father help us to sanctify our hearts with you Word, so that we would be found worthy when you come searching with your torchlight.
