Elkan's Word For Today

THIS  IS A PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

 Greetings Brethren and welcome to “The Word For Today”. God bless you all for the various feedbacks, I’m grateful to God that they have been a blessing.

In Psalms 2:7, the psalmist says,

“I will declare the decree: the LORD has said unto me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten you”.

We weren’t there when God told him this; neither, it would seem, is it our business what God told him. However, reading the previous verses show that he has been under several attacks and assaults from various quarters. The “kings of the earth” have been raging and plotting wicked schemes against him.

When adversity struck, he got up and made a PSA (Public Service Announcement).

Believe it or not, if you sit down and think well you’ll realise that there are specific things that God has said to you in the past that you have forgotten. Whether it is a particular scripture that ‘stood out’ while you were reading, a prophecy/’ word of knowledge’ from a minister, or simply straight into your spirit from God, each one of us has at least one WORD that is absolutely unique to us from God Himself.

Like our psalmist above, that word may lie dormant until adversity arises. That is when you need to tell those circumstances what “the LORD has said to (you)”.

2 Co 4:13 (GNB) says

The scripture says, "I spoke because I believed." In the same spirit of faith we also speak because we believe”.

If the psalmist could speak, so can you, too. Declare the decree.

Maybe you are being harassed on every side by one conflict, challenge, need, etc. it’s time to talk back to them and tell them something.

The Easy-to-Read Version of that verse says, “Let me tell you about the LORD'S agreement...” When you, a child of the King of Kings, preface a statement to the devil like that, he knows he’s in for trouble.

So this is the word for today:

“Make clear the Lord's decision...” (BBE)

“Tell the promise that the LORD made to (you)...” (CEV)

“Announce what the LORD has declared...” (GNB)

When you do that, you’re estimating God’s word over the situation and contrary circumstance; and like that psalm says at the end, you will be blessed for putting your trust in God. (Ps 2:12)

AMEN.

More Blessings await you today, you’ll not miss them in Jesus Name.
