TEXT: PSALM 92:12–14
[12]]The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

MESSAGE:
In the wilderness, God supplied the Israelites with food of the angels called “manna” for forty years. It nourished their body and they grew in good health. In like manna, the Lord has promised to nourish the faithful believer. Halleluyah
“Hidden manna” suggests the spiritual nourishment that the faithful believers will receive just as the Israelites were nourished in the wilderness.
Jesus as the “Bread of Life” (John 6:51) is able today provide spiritual nourishment that satisfies our deepest hunger if we remain faithful.
This is not the only promise from the Lord. He has also promised to give a “white stone” to the believer that overcomes.
The overcomer Christian is he who is able to resist the temptations of Satan, preserve himself in holiness, and keep himself undefiled by sin and all worldly attractions.
The “white” in the stone signifies “purity,” which could be indicative of God’s perfect acceptance of the believer and an assurance of eternity with Christ.
Living as an overcomer does not come easy but in due season it will produce abundant blessings, so never give up. Satan as the prince of this world has introduced many contaminants into the world system as landmines to defile, distract and derail believers. Any attempt to hold to the truth of scripture and preach the gospel in its purest form will attract negative comments and you may be accused of being a “fundamentalist,” or “narrow minded,” or “judgmental.”
Brethren,in all of your walk with God while on Earth, be diligent, stand for what is right and also live Right with your savior through the help of the Holy Spirit everyday of your life.
ACTION POINT
Keep your stand in Christ and never allow worldly influences to pollute your Christian life.
PRAYER POINT: Pray that the Lord preserves you and His church in His holiness in Jesus Christ name. Amen
