THE LAMP DEVOTION
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30
GOD’S WORD IS ETERNAL
Isaiah 40:6-8
One characteristic of God that is of immense blessing to us who believe Him is that He lives outside time. God is eternal, with no beginning and no end. He is not confined or limited by time. He has absolute control over all that happens to us in time. We are blessed and highly favored by this nature of His because in Him we also live beyond the limitations of time. God is doing a lot of things in our lives that will transcend time and move into eternity.
Jesus said we should lay up treasures in heaven and not on earth. It means the life He gives transcends what we see today in this dispensation of time. Jesus also said that His words are spirit and they are life, meaning they are eternal. Everything about God is eternal. We are privileged to be His children.
When we see everything around us fading and coming to an end, we are not perturbed because we have eternity reserved for us by our Father who is eternal. Paul said if our bodies are destroyed, we have a home in heaven not made with hands. That is the faith with which the early saints endured physical torture and many died as martyrs. They were persuaded by the eternity promised by the God who is eternal so they had no doubts about that. The Book of Revelation acknowledges them in no small way.
It is our turn to live on earth being conscious of eternity because of our eternal heavenly Father.
Prayer
1. Thank God for giving you eternal life that will not end on this earth.
2. Pray that henceforth everything you do will be informed by the reality of eternity.
3. Father, please help me develop more heaven-mindedness in my life on earth.
Declarations
I declare that I am a pilgrim walking on earth in transition. My true home is in heaven, in eternity, prepared for me by my God who is eternal. I declare that nothing can prevail against inheriting my new home because it is being controlled by God’s power from eternity. Therefore I declare that I am blessed in the name of Jesus.

GOD’S WORD IS ETERNAL
Isaiah 40:6-8
The voice said, “Cry out!” And he said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. 7 The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. 8 The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.”
