KEEPING THE WORD IN MIND
April 24, 2020

The Word: Deuteronomy 8: 17 – 18(KJV)

17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. 18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

Dig Deeper: Deuteronomy 8: 19(KJV)

19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. 20 As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the Lord your God.

Think about it

KEEPING THE WORD IN MIND
God wants us to keep him in our minds.
God wants us to keep his words in our minds.

17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

Once we start to lose focus of the word, we start to lose focus of our identity, our purpose and the core values that matters. That is because our identity is found in God. The more of God we understand, the more we understand our purpose, and life. So our text today specifically encourages us not to lose sight of the word. There is no middle ground. It’s either we are moving forward or moving back

if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them,

Every time we forget God and his word, we start slipping back. We keep the word within our hearts and in our mouth

Nuggets: 
Until the word becomes flesh, there can be no entrance or insight

REVISTING THE PROMISES FOR THIS YEAR
As we have come to a weekend of seeking God and in a month of focus on God’s word, it is important to appreciate that God’s prophecy or promises are equally as powerful or potent as the scriptures. 
The bible is documented promises or words inspired by the Holy Spirit. A direct word to the house is a Rhema (word in real time) which is equally as powerful and relevant for our year. 

Our father said this year is our year of NEXT LEVEL and we said NEXT LEVEL is changing position upwards, moving to the next stage spiritually, physically, maritally as a Church and in every spect of our lives. But for many of us and the church does it look like next level right now? Perhaps many will answer: NO

For some people it might even look like a lower level. But we must not forget that God said we should be expectant of four things.
– New things. He will do New things
– Restructuring. Our lives will need to be restructured and reorganised
– It’s OK to take a step back in order to leap forward
– He will take away all reproach.

Remember Haggai 2:9 The glory of the latter shall be greater than the former. It may not yet look like NEXT LEVEL but God’s word is settled forever. That is what he said. Let’s key in and align ourselves to this.

God’s word is like the rain and the snow. It will accomplish what’s it’s been sent to do
