Layò Writes You

Lord, please, open our hearts to receive your Word and help us to put you to use all that we learn today, so we can live a victorious Christian life. Amen. Before we start studying the scriptures, it's salient to understand what temptations are and what they mean for the believer. I had a discussion with a lady many months ago and she said God would never tempt a man because He's good and would never allow the devil tempt her too. I smiled at her, because really? The bible records that God will not tempt a man, but we see instances of God testing men, so, it would be safe to say God does not tempt, but He tests us.  The end goal of God's testing is to take us to a higher level in Him and it usually comes with you and I sacrificing something. Abraham in  Genesis 22:1-19 Satan does the tempting. The end goal is to make you disappoint God and further pitch you in a corner where it will be hard for you to receive God's grace to get back to your feet. Samson in  Judges 16:23...

"It is easier said than done". This statement is true, but I believe it is incomplete.  As a believer, there are some things that apply to the whole world that you're exempted from. To do things may be easier said than done, but for you, the believer, there is grace, even much grace available to do them. You and I receive it in Jesus name. Whether you believe it or not, there is grace available for you to stand up to the devil, in boldness, and use the Word instead of crying or getting depressed.  Yes, I know it may seem easier to say "use the Word", when the devil is telling you a lie about that job you're seeking, that grade you are reading so hard for, that person who said he/she will help you, that child that's proving wayward or any situation you may be in, as opposed to using the Word when you really need to use it.  But as believers, it's time we understood that only the Word and truth in the Word can make us free. John 8:32. And we must use i...

 Lord Jesus, thank you for your Word to me this morning. My heart is open to receive and find the truth in your Word from now. I pray I am blessed by this piece and go on to bless others with it, too. Amen. One of my favorite songs is the hymn "Jesus loves me, this I know". 🎶 Jesus loves me, this I know,  for the Bible tells me so. Little ones [insert your name] to Him belong;  they are weak, but He is strong.  I love this hymn so much and I literally sound like a baby when I sing it, gosh. 😍😂 I am convinced beyond confusion that Jesus loves me because it's in the Word. I can see it in the Word and it stands as the basis of my conviction: "Jesus loves me because the Bible (the truth) says it" I said last week that the truth is a rewiring, the truth is in the word, and the truth is Jesus.  After knowing Jesus as truth, you need to go on to know the Word as truth to enjoy total freedom.  This is because Jesus is the Word. John 1:1 It is possible to have ...

 Lord, thank you because my eyes are opened to the truth, I embrace and in the end, I gain freedom. Amen. This is an interesting discovery about child delivery and how it relates to freedom for the believer. Enjoy your read. 👍❤️ While a woman is pregnant, the foetus moves freely in the womb, but it is bound by the walls of the womb (uterus).  When the baby is ready to make an entrance into the real world, the amniotic sac (water sac), where the foetus floats and develops, breaks, due to the baby's pressure to come out. Then, the mother goes into labour (not labour room) and this signifies the baby is about to be born! 🥳 Then the baby comes out and everyone, most especially the mother is glad. 🤗 Behind the scenes, the baby fought its way to freedom because it realized a truth no one disclosed.  The baby suddenly realized that the womb was not its world and it got tired of those binding walls, forcing the mother to "push" so it could gain freedom. Until the day the foet...
