THE CHILDREN’S BREAD
– MONTHLY DEVOTIONAL –
1st. December 2024
SCRIPTURE,
‘“A man named Simon had been a sorcerer there for many years, amazing the people of Samaria and claiming to be someone great. Everyone, from the least to the greatest, often spoke of him as “the Great One—the Power of God.” They listened closely to him because for a long time he had astounded them with his magic.
But now the people believed Philip’s message of Good News concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ. As a result, many men and women were baptized. Then Simon himself believed and was baptized. He began following Philip wherever he went, and he was amazed by the signs and great miracles Philip performed.
When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that the people of Samaria had accepted God’s message, they sent Peter and John there. As soon as they arrived, they prayed for these new believers to receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them, for they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then Peter and John laid their hands upon these believers, and they received the Holy Spirit.
When Simon saw that the Spirit was given when the apostles laid their hands on people, he offered them money to buy this power. “Let me have this power, too,” he exclaimed, “so that when I lay my hands on people, they will receive the Holy Spirit!”
But Peter replied, “May your money be destroyed with you for thinking God’s gift can be bought! You can have no part in this, for your heart is not right with God. Repent of your wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive your evil thoughts, for I can see that you are full of bitter jealousy and are held captive by sin.”
“Pray to the Lord for me,” Simon exclaimed, “that these terrible things you’ve said won’t happen to me!”
After testifying and preaching the word of the Lord in Samaria, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem. And they stopped in many Samaritan villages along the way to preach the Good News.”’
Acts 8:9-25, NLT.
Child of God Almighty, a beautiful new month to you! The last month of the year is here at last, and we are still standing our ground in our “Holy God Almighty through CHRIST!” Therefore, Child of God, listen well:
Where there is life in God Almighty, there is also hope in Him, and as a result, we, who are TRULY HIS, will neither be consumed by the wrath of His righteous judgment, nor by the evil and strange fire of His enemy’s (SATAN) unrighteous penalty, amen!
Precious one, you see, the above SCRIPTURE is one, which I would love you to read and study, in order for you to be equipped with the knowledge of God Almighty with regards to the truth there-in; SORCERY is false and ungodly, yet, it has become popular and as a result, accepted by many people in our day, even Christians! Sorcery has indeed always existed, and till Christ returns, it will continue to exist, therefore, therefore, we must stand our ground against it through prayers and faith in God Almighty. Due to the fact, that most Sorcerers are very ruthless in their methods of dealings with their fellow human beings, which can be traced to their undeniable allegiance to Satan, all the more reason for us to be aware that SORCERERS AND SORCERESSES are amongst us, even more so in our time, than they were in the times past. Hence, their presence is seen and felt, not just in the secular world, which has always been a breeding ground for them, but they have also extended their reach to other places of comfort for the sons and daughters of God Almighty. Child of God, they are literally everywhere; in all walks of life. On one hand, I must confess, that to us who are genuine followers of Christ, it is a very sad news, that for MANY DECADES, they have also found their comfort within the CHURCH, while on the other hand, there is also a good news for us even in the midst of it all, which is to the glory of God Almighty, because only due to the “MERCY and GRACE of GOD ALMIGHTY,” with regards to us who are His elects, and His children, has the impossible become possible, as their veils are continually being lifted off their operations within the Church, thereby, the TRUE LIGHT which comes from God Almighty, is able to penetrate deeper into their hiding places, which for many decades has not been so, at least, not to the level we are now experiencing it, and as a result of this alone – Child of God, there is HOPE for us who truly believe in God Almighty through Christ, amen!
We are now able to see, that the Sorcerers in our day, have become even more shrewd, and bold in their zeal to deceive, alter, discredit, covet, and hijack the word of God for their evil purposes. To that effect, we ought to do what Apostle PETER did when he was confronted with one of such; have no fellowship with them – Tell them that the HOLY SPIRIT can neither be bought, sold, impersonated, cloned, copied, silenced, bound, or killed! Consequently, should they be insistent on buying HIM from you, just like Simon the Sorcerer in the above Scripture was, or should they try to use deception to covet and hijack HIM from you, although they know too well, that He can’t be hijacked! That notwithstanding, if they are still in doubt of that truth, then, refer them to the nature of God Almighty, one of which is, that regardless of how it may seem, GOD ALMIGHTY can neither be mocked, nor defeated, and so doing, citing THE ARK OF THE LORD’S PRESENCE, when back in the day, those who believed to have hijacked HIM, went to hide Him in the altar of DAGON – Their god! Nonetheless, if they still try, as they would in most cases, since they are “ungodly-rebellious,” thus, would still want to go ahead to do everything within their power to see, if they are able to topple the Holy Spirit of God! Consequently, this evil, becomes that which testifies against them, as it is evident, that if only they could – THEY ALSO WOULD! Therefore child of GOD Most High, when dealing with such, who are “willfully stuck in the pit of iniquity,” then, do what the Apostle of Christ, PETER, did to Simon the Sorcerer – REJECT, OPPOSE, AND REBUKE their demands to trample upon the things of the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD ALMIGHTY! As a result of your firmness in opposing their satanic traditions or practices, should they decide to be forceful about it, then, call God Almighty on them through prayers like you would the police, on thieves and robbers! Subsequently, as we keep remembering them in our prayers whenever God our Holy Father leads us to do so, then, over the course of time, if they are going to be saved, then, they will definitely be saved and find their ways back to the kingdom of our Holy FATHER, the only One Holy God Almighty through Christ, but until then, for the preservation of our own precious souls – SET BOUNDARIES WITH THEM, in order TO REMIND THEM, THAT LIGHT AND DARKNESS HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON, and having done that, LEAVE THEM TO GOD Almighty, THE ONE AND ONLY SUPREME RIGHTEOUS JUDGE OF ALL!
REMINDER: Child of God, I am assuming that the one reading the things which I write, as well as the one, who listens to the things I say, is not one of those I am writing or talking about – Sorcerers. Therefore, if you are not one of them, then, as a genuine child of God, don’t hate me for these insights or exhortations to you, which in essence, is meant to help you to be spiritually and naturally safe, both within, as well as out of the places of the general assembly of the believers. In contrast to who you are child of God, Sorcerers, who would read these same devotionals as you, would begin to secretly plot against me for shedding light to their operations or existence with regards to writing about what the Holy Spirit has revealed to me, either through dreams, visions, or through the SCRIPTURES, which obviously and understandably is spoiling their trade, big time!
What this is about, is to do the work of the Kingdom of Heaven, allowing ourselves to be used by God Almighty, to help the Church and those who truly belong to HIM, even such, who for the lack of knowledge, do not yet know who they truly are, thus, are still sorcerers. As a result, even if it is just one child that God Almighty uses us to save from eternal destruction due to them being absorbed in iniquity, then, that particular one, must be undeniably precious to God Almighty. Consequently, what this work of God Almighty which we are bound to, is all about, although it may not be comfortable or popular, nonetheless, it is for our good; for us not to be destroyed along with the unrepentant wicked. Therefore, with regards to you, precious child of God Almighty, when reading what I write, listening to what I say, what you should always do, are these:
- Be discerning enough to eat the godly-meat-of the word, while you must be quick to spit out the bone of that which you understand could be error, either due to the flesh, or ignorance in that particular subject matter.
- Furthermore, as you read these devotionals, be it on your own but of course with the help of the Holy Spirit within you, as HE is our Teacher and Helper, or with others, who are in-league with the Holy Spirit of God Almighty, as well as with those who, unlike Simon the Sorcerer, desire to genuinely know the Holy Spirit in spirit and truth. Therefore, with HIS help, and with a godly mind, one, free of perversion, deception and treachery, try to ponder on the contents of my devotionals, videos, or audios, in order to have a clearer understanding of what the Holy Spirit could be revealing to you through them, for your good, and to the glory of God Almighty, through Christ, amen.
- Read and study the Bible, and try the best you can to live right, according to nature of God.
- Praise, thank, worship, honor, and pray to God Almighty through Christ.
Therefore, as you diligently continue doing all the above, the Holy Spirit of God will begin to teach you, help you understand the things which are confusing or overwhelming to you, and over the course of time, as your relationship with HIM gets stronger, you will also begin to reap the spiritual rewards of your submission to God Almighty and your relationship with Him through Christ, and by His grace, also the physical or material rewards which has no sorrow added to it, amen.
- And with regards to myself, being the vessel the LORD GOD is using, amongst others of course, to open the eyes of your understanding to these kinds of evil as to help you overcome the enemy’s traps and plots, maybe someday, you might remember to thank me, too – God would not condemn you for that, and it sure wouldn’t hurt, or would it?
In conclusion, child of God, permit me to re-iterate; always remember the SORCERERS in your prayers, “BUT” this you should do, only as long as the Holy Spirit has not clearly told you to stop interceding for them. One of the need to keep praying for them, even as you set those boundaries with them, is for this very reason; sometimes, if they do not find Christ through you, God may send another person to them, from whom they would be more willing to receive HIS word, and this mindset is important for us to adopt because at the end of the day, what we are aiming for, is to see those of them who are truly sons and daughters of God Almighty, saved and by no means perish, amen!
PRAYER
Precious ones, may it be well with you this month and always, in the faithful and merciful name of Jesus Christ, amen..
Child of God, with regards to MONTHLY DEVOTIONAL, till the first of next month.
Jesus loves you.
Yours Sister – Susan.
