Joyce Meyer Devotional 1 April 2025 (Tuesday) Message
TOPIC: Honor Him First
But as for you, the anointing (the sacred appointment, the unction) which you received from Him abides [permanently] in you; [so] then you have no need that anyone should instruct you….
1 John 2:27 (AMPC)
This verse isn’t suggesting you don’t need anyone to teach you the Word. Otherwise, God wouldn’t appoint some to teach in the body of Christ. But it does say if you are in Christ, you have an anointing that abides on the inside of you to guide and direct your life.
Sometimes you give more consideration to what people tell you than to what God has said. You might occasionally ask somebody for their wisdom, but if you hear from God and then start asking everybody else what they think, you are honoring people’s opinions above the Word of God. You need to say, “God, no matter what anybody else says, no matter what my own plan is, if You say something to me, I am going to honor You above anything else.”
Prayer of the Day: Lord, help me honor Your Word above all opinions. Guide me with Your anointing and trust You above everything else in my life, amen.
