"A Word in Due Season"

"A Word in Due Season"

"And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a jut man, and one that feareth God, and of god report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee. " Acts 10:22.

Our opening scripture was the conversation between the men that was sent by Cornelius to Peter. Cornelius was warned by an angel to send for Peter, and to hear words of him. In order for you to have a better understanding of that, it is important for you to know that there are two basic words for "words" in the New Testament.

The first one is logos and refers to God's way of thinking. It is from logos you get the word "logic", it refers to a matter, concept, idea, body of divine revelation (body of God's thoughts or how God thinks). Just as every word you speak is an overflow of your thoughts, and reveal God's way of thinking, talking and operation.

The second word used for "word"in the New Testament is rhema. This refers to an utterance or the spoken Word of God. The logos is what God has said while the rhema is what God is saying consistent with what God has said.

The word used for "words" in our opening scripture is rhema (What God is saying now). I want you to know that for every season of your life there is a rhema from God to you. In this month's devotional, God's rhema will be coming to you to empower you to take advantage of what God has made available to you in this season. Receive His Word every day with expectation and with them war a good warfare.
