TAKING THE HARVEST BY FORCE

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

(Daily Devotional)

TOPIC: TAKING THE HARVEST BY FORCE

TEXT:  “The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it” (Luke 16:16).

Attitude is everything!  your success or failure in life will be determined by your attitude. Luke 16:16 was written regarding the many Gentiles who would press themselves into the Kingdom of God after hearing the Gospel preached. 

The word presseth in this verse means to force your way in. A great example of this was with the Syrophenician woman in Mark 7:27. She came to Jesus for the deliverance of her daughter who was possessed of a devil. Jesus told her that it wasn’t right to take the children’s bread and give it to dogs. He said that because she wasn’t a daughter of Abraham, the healing covenant didn’t belong to her. Do you think that caused her to give up? No way! She responded to Jesus by saying, “Lord, even dogs get the crumbs that fall from the children’s table.” Instead of walking away, she pressed in even harder to get what she came for.

As believers who have heard the Gospel, we are already pressed into the Kingdom of God through salvation, so now the covenant of God belongs to us, healing belong us, the blessing belong to us. We aren’t dogs; we are children! We have a right to God’s Kingdom, and we are not going to sit idly by and allow the enemy to rob us of the best of what the Lord has promised us. So let’s be more forceful in demanding for what we know is ours and not allow one blessing to pass us by!

WORD CONFESSION

I am an evidence that Jesus Christ is alive and at work. Today I declare that I am a child of God and all the blessings of the Kingdom are mine. I press into my Kingdom blessing today and will not allow what the LORD has promised me to pass me by. In Jesus name

SUCCESS QUOTE OF THE DAY

Prayer is work. The experiences of many children of God demonstrate that it accomplishes far more than does any other form of work. It is also warfare, for it is one of the weapons in fighting the enemy. However, only prayer in the spirit is genuinely effectual.
