Revelation of the Word:

THEME: GOD IS GOOD

James 1:17-18 NKJV

”Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.“

INSIGHT 

–God’s goodness is reflected in the gifts that He releases unto us. God has released unto us every spiritual blessing unto us from the heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:3). Once we believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we partake of the journey of spiritual enlightenment through salvation and the Holy Spirit grants us the gifts of faith, wisdom, word of knowledge, discernment of spirits, talking in different tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy, healing, teaching according to His will (1 Corinthians 12:8-11). The Holy Spirit also fills us with the fruit of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control according to His grace (Galatians 5:22-23). We are then reminded of God’s ability to work through us as the first fruits of His creation to cause exultation to Him through His good gifts, fruits, word and work.  

PRAYER 

Lord You are Good and Your goodness is eternal. You are Good to all who diligently seek You. Lord You give good gifts to men and those gifts are irrevocably by Your divine enablement and grace. Jehovah You are mighty and faithful, Your grace and love are infinite. We thank You for the gifts that You have granted us and ask You for the grace to exercise them faithfully according to Your purposes for us that we may achieve everything that You have designed for us at Your appointed time. May You fill us with all fruits and the relevant gifts that we need to do the work that You have called us to do well for the glory and honor of Your name. May You transform us by the renewing of our minds that we may prove Your good, acceptable and perfect will. Our Father who art in heaven; hallowed be Your name; Your Kingdom come; Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptations but deliver us from evil; for thine is the Kingdom the power and the glory; forever and ever. Amen
