Pastor's Every Day Word
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 1 Timothy 6:11
The apostle Paul writes: "But thou, O man of God, flee these things..." First of all, let's see who the "man of God" is. The one, who follows the Lord, wants to fulfill His commandments and spends the eternity with Him, can be called a man of God. I am sure that we...
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. Job 5:17-18
Dearly beloved, today I have a word of consolation in my heart and I feel many people need it. Therefore, the Lord inspires to read the word. It is written, behold happy is the man whom God correcteth. I'm not talking about the difficulties and troubles of life, but...
The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. Nahum 1:7
Three important things are mentioned here. The Lord is good, He is a strong hold in the day of trouble and He knows them who trust in Him. You know, the book of Nahum begins with the words that the Lord does not tolerate an evil and He punishes the guilty. You think...

Affliction and trouble, these two misfortunes pursue a man. However, the Word of God shows that they do not come forth of the dust or ground but from inside of a man. Miseries and troubles lead to the fact that a man becomes unsuccessful and unfortunate in this life...

And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better. Luke 5:36-39
This is a wonderful parable, which teaches us that the power of the new is greater, than that of the old. The Lord gives His supernatural, new anointing, but our old being must be renewed in order to be able to receive the new. Old thinking, character and habits must...
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2
The world has a pattern or an image, which is attractive and many like it. But the Word of God says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world”. The image of the world is attractive for the body, but not for the spirit. A man consists of spirit, soul and body. If...
