Hebrews 4:12 was penned against the background of the need for obedience. The writer warned that the disobedient risked destruction, for the word of God is quick and sharper than any two-edged sword. Also, nothing ca n be hidden (or kept away) from the sword.

A hammer is a tool with a heavy metal head for breaking things, driving in nails, etc. It can also be the wooden mallet used by an auctioneer. In some cultures, a hammer is also used for pounding – solid are hammered until they become pulp or powder.
CONTEXT
God was speaking against false prophets in Jeremiah 23. In verse 29, God describes the nature of His word. Amongst others, His word is like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces.
God said that since the false prophets had chosen to speak their own words and not God’s, He would disgrace them. The passage suggests that the disgrace would come because their word would lack power. It would not be able to “break the rocks”. Thus, they shall be put to great shame.
I another sense the word of God as a hammer could break their stony hearts or arrogant and rebellious lives to pieces, such that those who can see their destruction would certainly laugh at them.
RELEVANCE
The word of God as a hammer is useful against:
1. The spirit of pride

Topic: The Finger Of God
Daily Devotion
Text: Luke 11:20, exodus 8:19
But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
…………..
Ten the magicians said unto pharaoh, this is the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the lord has said.
DEFINITION
A finger is one of the five members at the end of the hand. The fingers are used for work. Also, fingerprints are used to identify individuals, while thumbprints especially can stand in the place of signatures.
The finger of God is a term often used to describe the power that has God’s “thumbprint” or signature on it. When the exercise of miraculous power is unquestionably divine (not devilish), the ancients would scream,” This is the finger of God!”
CONTEXT
In Luke chapter 11, Jesus cast out demons from a mute man. At the end, the man began to speak. His detractors, however, claimed that He was using evil powers to cast out demons. In His answer Jesus explained that He was casting out demons with the finger of God.
Also, in Exodus 8, Aaron was commanded to strike the ground with his rod. He did, and lice covered all the Egyptians and their beasts. The magicians of Egypt tried to imitate the miracle, but could not. They surrendered, and acknowledged that this was the finger (power) of God.
RELEVANCE
1. The finger of God can be used to cast out demons. Generally, during deliverance ministration, you can bind and cast out devils by the finger of God. When you say, “I cast you out by the finger of God”, what you are saying in essence is that you cast the demon out by the omnipotent power of God.
2. The finger of God as a spiritual weapon can be used to silence lying spirits. This is useful either during deliverance sessions or in warfare prayers.
3. The finger of God can be used to overcome the powers and charms of magicians, witches and wizards. It can be used to render them powerless and to disgrace all who use evil powers.
4. It can also be used to overcome the spirit of infirmity. When sickness in the body has manifest or latent demonic roots, the finger of God can be used to deal with the situation.

THE DESCENDING BLOWING OF GOD’S ARM
Text: Isaiah 30:30
And the lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation OF his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
DEFINITION
The descending blow of God’s arm is best explained using the image of boxers fighting in a ring. A boxer soon begins to overpower the opponent and, as the opponent staggers, he gives him a heavy, downward punch that knocks him down and out. That is a descending blow. When it comes down, it knocks the opponent to the ground.
The descending blow we are talking about here is not from the hand/arm of an ordinary boxer, but it the descending blow of God’s arm (arm Almighty, Omnipotent one)
CONTEXT
As the people of God sing and praise the Lord, the prophet is saying that God will show the descent of His mighty arm upon the enemies of Israel. God’s mighty hand will descend in:
? Devouring flames
? Clouds bursts
? Thunderstorms
? Huge hailstones
These will knock down and utterly destroy the enemies
RELEVANCE
The descending blow of God’s arm can be called down upon:
1. Those who oppose the gospel. This weapon is especially useful against those who use violence (i.e religious fanatics)
2. All anti-Christ spirits who attack churches spiritually. These demonic spirits can be overpowered with the descending blow of God’s arm.
3. Individuals who attack Christians. You can fight against those who attack preachers, Christian workers, etc, using the descending blow of God’s arm.
4. All evil spirits/powers that manifest violently against the believer. These demons or powers seek to maim or destroy. You should not allow them.

THANKSGIVING PROGRAM
Text: Isaiah 12:4-5 (NASB)
And on that day you will say, “Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; make them remember that His name is exalted.” Praise the LORD in song, for He has done glorious things; let this be known throughout the earth.
English dictionary describes thanksgiving as an act of gratitude especially to God
In other words, thanksgiving is expression of heartfelt appreciation for kindness and or favour earned
God has always show us favour, love and kindness, our duty as human is to reciprocate his kindness towards us through thanksgiving
I encourage each and everyone of us to find a suitable time out of our busy schedules to appreciate God today and you will never regret doing so.

Text: Matthew 14:16-21 –
16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 He said, Bring them hither to me.
19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
The scripture illustrates how God can use difficult situations to provide our needs, it was just 5 loaves of bread and two fishes that was available comparing to the crowd (five thousand). Feeding five thousand people’s with just 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes? Humanly, this is absolutely impossible but with God it is possible.
Note vs 17 “We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.”
In reality, this reply from Jesus disciples sounds like a doubt, this i can say that it was a test of faith.
It doesn’t matter the situation surrounding you what matter at this time is your faith and how you apply it.
PRAYER
Lord, I thank You for provision. Despite the lack that we have, yet, you miraculously provide for us and be satisfied. We pray for more provision and open doors in Jesus name we pray. Amen

31 PRINCIPLES FOR ETERNAL IMPACTATIONS
Principle 1
Give Your Heart to God
Text: Proverbs 23:26 “Give me your heart, my son, and let your eyes delight in my ways.”
As we consider a life guided by the principles of God, we must begin by making sure that we have truly given our hearts to God. Once God has your heart, he is able to guide and direct you in every area of your life.
There are many examples in the Bible of God working through individuals who had surrendered their hearts to him. David had a heart that was after God, and God used him in a mighty way. Zaccheaus had a burning desire to see Jesus, and he responded immediately when Jesus called him. Caleb showed faith in the power of God in the face of what looked like insurmountable odds. He followed God wholeheartedly and, unlike most of the others who died in the wilderness because of their disobedience, was allowed to enter the Promised Land. Samuel listened to and obeyed the Lord and as a result was used by God as a prophet and judge to the people of Israel. When God approached Gideon, who was the least in his father’s household, God recognized a heart that would respond and be obedient to him. Daniel’s heart was so committed to God that God felt free to reveal secrets to him.
Each one of these individuals had a heart that was fully devoted to God, and all of these people are role models for us today. Their significance in the Bible narrative begins with their relationship with God. Likewise, our significance begins with our relationship with God. When God has your heart, he has everything that relates to you and your life. All of our giving springs out of the genuine relationship that we have with our heavenly Father. As we develop and deepen that relationship, God will work in us and through us.
Heart Deposit:
Have you given your heart fully to God? Ask him to be first in your life.
Impactation begins
with a relationship with God

THE POWER OF GOD’S WORDS
TEXT: Isaiah 55:11
“In the same way, the promise that I make does not return to me, having accomplished nothing. No, it is realized as I desire and is fulfilled as I intend.”
When we dig into God’s Word, we learn about his indescribable power and greatness. God can create whatever he wants, even out of nothing! God’s counsel and his plans stand forever. We can either place ourselves in a position to receive his blessing or not. God’s Word is powerful. Active. It accomplishes. Wherever it is sent, it prospers. To fulfill God’s purposes, we need to absorb all that is contained in God’s Word. As we do so, we learn more about the mind of God and open ourselves to receive his direction. By his Word we are renewed inwardly. His Word is like discovering the treasure of treasures: “
“For the one who finds me has found life and received favor from the Lord.” —Proverbs 8:35
“So then from now on we acknowledge no one from an outward human point of view. Even though we have known Christ from such a human point of view, now we do not know him in that way any longer” (2 Corinthians 4:16). Only the Word of God can renew us and give us true direction. All other pursuits are in vain if they are substitutes for the Word of God in our lives.
The bottom line? There is no way for one to be an effective Converterlator without knowing the Word of God. Along with the Holy Spirit, the Word is the primary means for bringing transformation to our values, attitudes, and mindset. It is also the means for nourishing and fueling the very roots of our being. It is by God’s Word that we learn about the will of God and how to implement and execute the plans he reveals to us through his Word.
With our access to technology these days, there are many ways to access God’s Word! If you have a Bible, start reading it today and select a verse for memorization and meditation. Go online and access a reading program; two that are popular and easily available are through http://www.biblegateway.com and http://www.navigators.org. Many Christian organizations also offer great Bible reading helps through their websites which you can get by searching Google
Unlike other written documents, God’s Word is living and powerful. One of my favorite Bible verses is Hebrews 4:12, the verse that opened this chapter: “For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the point of dividing soul from the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow; it is able to judge the desires and thoughts of the heart.” God’s Word works in us and through us! Every day, we need to have his Word actively operating in our lives.
How much of God’s Word do you have memorized? How can you make this a priority in your life?
Converterlators know the Word of God and allow it to actively operate in their lives on a daily basis.
