PREACH … THE KINGDOM / MATTHEW 10:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 10:7

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

PREACH … THE KINGDOM / MATTHEW 10:7

The full context surrounding this passage (Matthew 10:1; Matthew 10:8) makes it clear that the preaching of the kingdom (Christ’s power, authority, purposes and way of life both on earth and into eternity) is to be accompanied by evidence of God’s might and power against the forces of sin, sickness and Satan. It is Christ’s desire that the kingdom of heaven and its power be brought “near” to people (through the lives of His followers and the preaching of His message) so that they can receive the salvation, help and healing they need from God. When we do not see the evidence of God working among His people, it is time to examine our lives. Then we can remove or release anything that is worldly, ungodly or displeasing to God. This is how we “seek first His kingdom and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33), as we pray “your kingdom come, your will be done” (Matthew 6:10; Mark 9:29).

AUTHORITY TO DRIVE OUT EVIL SPIRITS / MATTHEW 10:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 10:1

And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

AUTHORITY TO DRIVE OUT EVIL SPIRITS / MATTHEW 10:1

Jesus wants His followers to spiritually stand against the forces of evil by driving out evil spirits (commanding them to release control of ungodly individuals whose bodies they have inhabited) and by healing the sick (who may also be troubled and discouraged by Satan). This show of authority in the spiritual realm is one way that the power  and purposes of God’s kingdom remain active on earth. We do not possess such authority in ourselves, but only through the power and authority of Christ. For this reason, it is important that we live in a way that is worthy of Christ; otherwise, we will lack the spiritual power to face the direct attacks of supernatural powers of evil.

A FESTIVAL / EXODUS 10:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Exodus 10:9

And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the Lord.

A FESTIVAL / EXODUS 10:9

The request to make a three day journey to worship the Lord was sincere. But there was no promise that the Israelites would return. Pharaoh seemed to have realized this (Exodus 10:11, 24).

YOU MAY TELL YOUR CHILDREN / EXODUS 10:1-2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Exodus 10:1-2

And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him: 2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the Lord.

YOU MAY TELL YOUR CHILDREN / EXODUS 10:1-2

God revealed His great power and protection over Israel so that they would come to know, accept and follow Him as their God. Centuries earlier He chose Abraham with the purpose that he should teach his children to know and follow the Lord (Genesis 18:19). Later, He commanded the Israelites to diligently teach their children the words of the Lord (Deuteronomy 6:7). God knew that if His people failed to take this responsibility seriously, the next generation would reject Him and His righteous ways.

SEVEN EYES ON THAT ONE STONE / ZECHARIAH 3:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zachariah 3:9

For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

SEVEN EYES ON THAT ONE STONE / ZECHARIAH 3:9

The stone is another symbol of the Messiah, or Christ (Isaiah 28:16; 1 Peter 2:6). The seven eyes represent complete insight, omniscience (the characteristic of being “all-knowing”) and divine intelligence (Revelation 5:6). Christ would remove sin in a single day, referring to the day He died on the cross to pay the full penalty for our sins.

GOOD FRIDAY APRIL 18, 2025

Good Friday is the Friday preceding Easter Sunday and is the day Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross. We can celebrate on Good Friday because Christ’s death was a sacrifice so that we could receive the gift of eternal life. The Bible tells us that Jesus bore our sins, shame, and burden on the cross. The results changed the course of humanity and what man meant for evil through killing Jesus; God meant for good!

1 Peter 2:24 – He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

Mark 9:31 – For he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise.”

Mark 10:34 – And they will mock him and spit on him, and flog him and kill him. And after three days he will rise.”

Isaiah 53:5 – But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.

Romans 5:6-10 – For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

Mark 8:31 – And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after three days rise again.

Matthew 12:40 – For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

(KJV) Zechariah 3:8

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.

MY SERVANT THE BRANCH / ZECHARIAH 3:8

Joshua and the other priests were prophetic “types” (people who served as symbols of other things or persons), pointing to the work of God’s servant, the Branch (Isaiah 4:2, 11:1; Jeremiah 23:5). The angel of the Lord (Christ, Zechariah 1:12), who had stood by and supervised Joshua’s cleansing and restoration (Zechariah 3:5), is now identified as the Branch. This name typically referred to the fact that Christ came from the “root” or family tree of King David, the line through which God promised to preserve Israel and eventually send the Messiah – the ultimate King of Israel. The Branch would carry our sins and restore our relationship with God (Isaiah 53:1-6).  He would defeat the power of Satan by taking the filthy clothes of the world’s sins on Himself, dying in our place and paying the ultimate penalty for humanity’s offenses against God.

IF YOU WILL WALK IN MY WAYS / Zechariah 3:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zechariah 3:7

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.

IF YOU WILL WALK IN MY WAYS / Zechariah 3:7

God’s personal message to Joshua strongly encouraged him to follow the Lord and obey His requirements. If Joshua did so, he would serve in a position of authority in the temple and have open access to God’s throne room in heaven, where the angels serve. We too can have open access to heaven’s court through prayer if we humbly obey God and serve His purposes.

I WILL PUT RICH GARMENTS ON YOU / ZECHARIAH 3:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zechariah 3:4

And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

I WILL PUT RICH GARMENTS ON YOU / ZECHARIAH 3:4

God had Joshua’s filthy clothes removed, symbolizing the removal of his (and Israel’s) sin. He then was clothed in clean and costly garments and had a clean turban placed on his head. This meant that he had been fully restored to his role as high priest and that he was able to mediate, or intercede to restore harmony and bring reconciliation, between God and His people. This process represented how God would cleanse all His people from sin and “clothe” them with His righteousness. This same spiritual cleansing is available to us through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:7; Romans 1:16-17; 3:22, 25-26).

REBUKE YOU SATAN! / ZECHARIAH 3:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zechariah 3:2

And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

REBUKE YOU SATAN! / ZECHARIAH 3:2

As Israel’s representative, Joshua in his own power could not resist Satan, for the high priest was dressed in filthy clothes (representing Israel’s sin).

  1. God Himself resisted Satan and discredited (proved to be wrong) his accusations. God had chosen Israel to carry out His purposes, and nothing could stop His plans. 
  2. Israel was a “burning stick snatched from the fire.” The fire represents Israel’s judgment and suffering during the Babylonian exile (when the Babylonians conquered and destroyed Jerusalem over 70 years before and deported the people throughout the empire). God had brought Israel through these sufferings, not to destroy them, but to discipline them. Through all of the difficult and humiliating times, God was teaching His people to obey and depend on Him and preparing them for greater things.
