DCLM Higher Everyday 27 September 2022 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — The life-boosting Book

TOPIC: THE LIFE-BOOSTING BOOK

TEXT: JOSHUA 1:6-9

6Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

7Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

8This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

9Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

MEMORY VERSE: “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success” (JOSHUA 1:8).

We love the word “booster” because it signals a super-fast rapid accelerator. For example, there is an ongoing global vaccination against COVID-19. Most of the vaccines being used have two standard doses – an initial dose and “a booster dose.” The initial dose kicks off the receiver’s immunity against the disease, while the booster dose accelerates it rapidly.

Secondly, according to dieticians, there are some super foods that contain booster nutrients, which could improve overall body health and accelerate recovery from sickness – honey is one of such booster foods.

Psalm 119 verse 103 likens the Bible to honey: “How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” The Bible is God’s “super food”, full of essential spiritual nutrients. To the obedient readers, it offers eternal life, grace, faith, spiritual power, wisdom, health and, strength for life’s challenges.

Astronauts accelerate into space on rocket boosters. All who would eventually ascend into heaven at the rapture will have to entrust their lives into God’s hands through repentance, faith and implicit obedience to His word, the Bible.

QUOTE: The Bible is God’s Super Food.

CHALLENGE: Have you read your Bible today?

PRAYER: Increase my desire for your word, O Lord.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
