Daily Devotion

TEXT: Jeremiah 23:29
Is not my word like as a fire? Saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

DEFINITION
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
2. Demos who manifest violently, especially the demons of insanity. They can be overpowered with the hammer of God. Thus weakened of pulverized, they are easy to cast out.
3. False prophets. The word of God as a hammer can be used to overrule their prouncements, so that their words would lack effect. Moreover, you could ask the hammer of God to deal with them until they surrender to Jesus.
4. The word of God as a hammer is also useful against the spirit of divination. This spirit manifests often through utterance of false prophecies or demonic tongues during church/fellowship programs. They can be crushed with the hammer of God.
5. The word of God as a hammer can be used to deal with manifestations of the spirit of Jezebel. The spirit of Jezebel is responsible for immorality.

THE DESCENDING BLOWING OF GOD’S ARM 

On By Isreal EtangewakIn MessageLeave a comment


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.
5. Human agents of evil powers ( e.g witches, wizards, etc)

PRAYER POINTS
1. Every stubborn pursuer of my life and family is paralyzed by the descending blow of God’s arm in Jesus’ name.
2. Every satanic agent working against my home, receive the descending blow of God’s arm in the name of Jesus.
3. I bulldoze every satanic gathering against my family by the descending blow of God’s arm in Jesus’ name.
