Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | March 10, 2020. Enrich and Sustain your relationship with Jesus reading our daily devotional – Exodus 4:17 – And thou shalt take this rod [ staff ] in thine hand, and use it to perform the miraculous signs I have shown you

Beloved, you need to learn the wisdom of God from His doings with saints of old. When He commissioned Moses to go to Egypt as the deliverer of His people, He equipped him adequately.

He was given a Rod. See it.

Exodus 4:17 And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs

Check the scriptures very well, you will discover that , this Rod was sufficient for Moses. It was used at the Red Sea to divide it into two. It was used to bring out water from the rock for the children of Israel to drink.

You can be sure that, as that Rod was sufficient for Moses, to fulfil his ministry as a deliverer, so it will be sufficient for you too for everything that shall bring you joy here on earth and blissful eternity at the other side.

So when Moses was to leave Midian for Egypt, all He went with was the Rod of God. See it,

Exodus 4:20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.

But then you wonder what relevance is this rod in the hand of Moses, to you. This same rod is revealed to us in the scriptures as the rod of Jesse. See it.

Isa 11:1 — Isa 11:2. And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;

This rod is our Lord Jesus Christ. The Rod signifies Jesus, the Word of God.

Jesus our Lord is the Word personified. He is the Written Word. The spoken Word. The living Word. See it yourself.

Jn 1:1 — Jn 1:3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Rev 19:11 — Rev 19:13 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

Beloved, our loving Father in heaven has placed at your disposal all that you shall ever need for lifelong earthly Joy and blissful eternity.

All you will ever need on this side of heaven and hereafter to attain desired earthly and eternal blessings revolves around God and His unfailing, eternal, unchanging and ever dependable and reliable word in the Bible.

Isaiah 34:16 Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

Not a single verse in the Bible shall fail.

Not a single verse in the Bible shall return to God not accomplishing the purpose for which it is sent.

Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:
it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

When this whole earth has been burnt according to the Bible and a new heaven and new earth are made. The only thing that shall remain unchanged is the entirety of God’s word in the Bible.

Psalms 119:89 For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

This word is a lamp for your feet that shall help you in particular not to fall into any satanic snares, in spite of his subtility.

Psalms 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Psa 119:9 — Psa 119:11 – Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

The Word of God in the Bible is the unfailing manual to attain every desired earthly aspirations.

Deu 4:5 — Deu 4:6 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

Joshua 1:8 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.

This Word of God in the Bible is what would make you wise to meet the requisite of living eternally with God.

Mat 7:24 — Mat 7:27 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

This living Word when properly applied and obeyed will make your service and sacrifice to God acceptable and bring you eternal rewards beyond your wisest dreams.

Psalms 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

This unfailing Word of God if you live by them, it will make you perfect and blameless before God.

2Ti 3:16 — 2Ti 3:17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

This unfailing Word of God if you live by them shall guarantees your readiness for the dawning rapture and make you escape the fearful great tribulation meant for the sinning and rebellious worldlings.

1Th 4:15 — 1Th 4:17 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Rev 3:10 — Rev 3:11 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Beloved as a wise person for which you are, you must esteem the word more than anything or anyone else in this world.

Job 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

You must determinedly obey it at all times , for your relationship with God to be sustained and enjoy His unfailing lifelong wellness.

Jeremiah 7:23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

Beloved, see what Jesus our Lord, the living, spoken and written Word personified Himself said, you in particular should be doing with the entirety of the Word in the Bible.

1. Live by the entirety of the Word.

Matthew 4:: 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

2. Associate only with the ministry or assembly teaching and living by the totality of the Word.

Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

3. Separate and have nothing to do with assembly, ministry and ministers that are picking and choosing what to preach from the Bible. This is because it will damn your soul and send you to hell. Your own soul shall not be damned and you shall not go to hell, so heed the warning of Jesus, the Word personified now.

Rev 22:18 — Rev 22:19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

This becomes important and necessary because any Word in the Bible you reject and refuse to obey today will stand to judge you in particular in eternity. This shall not be your portion in Jesus name. But then, be obedient to the instructions from the Word personified.

Jn 12:46 — Jn 12:48 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

May the good Lord help you to be wise unto salvation in Jesus name.
