Shalom,

Today's "Faith Food" by Kenneth E. Hagin goes right along with what we have been covering on our Spoken Word Church website devotional! God's plan for our prosperity and how it will affect the world around us! 

Is Your Profit Showing?
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all (1 Timothy 4:15). 

If your profiting is to appear to all, then it is to show! Why is godliness profitable? Why is living for God, being God's child, walking in fellowship with God, keeping God's commandments, profitable? 

It is because God has made some promises to His faithful children. Notice the word "promise" in yesterday's text: "having promise of the life that now is" (1 Timothy 4:8). God has made us promises in this life. Our profiting is because of these promises. 

And when our profiting (which is due to God's promises) appears to all, we are able to show the world there is a God in the Church - just as when Israel was walking with God, she could show the earth "there is a God in Israel" (1 Samuel 17:46)

Confession: I will meditate upon God's promises and give myself wholly to them, that my profiting may appear to all.
AMEN! God's plan for our prosperity is to reach the world with the GLORIOUS GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST! In fact, THIS, from our wonderful partners, Jerry and Marilyn O'Dell, is one of our foundational TRUTHS! 

"The reason for the knowledge, the purpose for the power and the plan for the prosperity is reaching the lost."

Let's be all about our Father's business in reaching the lost! It is HIS #1 priority! Let's make it ours, and do whatever it takes to be the best that we can be! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "No Reason To Hide":


Shalom in Him!
