TREM Devotional 11 February 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – All You Need Is In The Word
TOPIC: All You Need Is In The Word
“And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her”. Luke 10:41-42 (KJV)
Jesus, according to the scriptures, went into the house of Martha and Mary. Whilst He was there, Mary sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard His Word but Martha was distracted by much serving. She was interested in things other than the most important Word. And she said: “… Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.” (Luke 10:40 KJV). And Jesus said to her: “… Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things. But one thing is needful…”
Child of God, there may be many things troubling you right now. Maybe many things are challenging your life. Many things are upsetting you and there are a lot of difficulties surrounding you. But one thing is needful. What is that one thing? The Word of God! All you need is in the Word! But many have refused to acknowledge that one necessary thing. Like Mary did, I encourage you to choose the one needful thing. And Jesus called it the good part which shall not be taken away from you.
There are a lot of things that people are busy with and yet the most important thing is neglected. In the face of difficulties and hopelessness, where do we turn to receive hope if not the Word of God? Many believers are just like Martha. Busy about other things. But I have come to present to you the only therapy that can grant you total and complete victory over the forces of darkness. The Word of God.
