THE CRY OF THE SPIRIT DEVOTIONALS - BY RICHARD E. S. TAKIM

TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL (Thursday 11 June 2026)

“And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people."

Therefore "Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you." 'I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty." 2 Corinthians 6:16-18 NKJV

WELCOME TO THE 162nd DAY OF OUR YEAR OF STRATEGIC VICTORIES!

In today’s devotional we shall be sharing on a Rhema word from the LORD that came into my spirit for this devotional. I believe God will use it and touch someone reading these thoughts on paper. That Rhema word says, “there is something for you to come out from, for God to come into your life and unleash His glory in and through it.”

We want to look at few truths on the glory of God. You see, the glory of God is the storehouse of God’s goodness, manifestations, gifts, callings, graces, etc. Most of the divine promises we receive from God cannot come to pass until He steps into us and unleash His glory.

I do not know if God has spoken to you of something that He wants to do for you, in you, or through you, and yet it is not coming to pass.

May be some prophets may have told you to give some money to them in other to activate it to come to pass, and perhaps you have done so yet it has not come to pass. God sent this word this morning to tell you that His glory manifesting in and through you is the key to seeing that thing Come to pass.

It takes the manifestation of the glory of God in man for God’s will to be done in or through man. That is why the ultimate vision of GOD for us is that He comes into our lives and tabernacle in us. He wants to tabernacle in us to unleash His glory on the earth.

When God comes into our lives, our friends and enemies will know He has come because of the blessings He will put in our lives and the paralysis He will put in the life of our enemies. He will begin to guide us with amazing lights and understanding on issues of life and driving darkness away from us.

PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO BE PART OF OUR DESTINY WILL SUDDENLY WITHDRAW FROM US OR BECOME HOSTILE.

When God comes into you and dwell in you, whatever and whoever is not of God in your life will begin to hate you; even a Church or a minister of the gospel filled with the spirit of hell will hate you. Agents of darkness you may have taken for husbands or wives will begin to withdraw from you or cause problems for you.

Everything that is not of God that may have attached itself to your life has a way of reacting when God comes into your life to tabernacle in you. But all that is the burden attached to the blessing. Because it is better for God to dwell in me and men stay away from me, than for men to stay with me and God stay away from me.

When men stay with you and God do not, your life will be full of problems. But when God lives in you (and maybe men refuse to live with you), your life will be full of peace. The Bible says,

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." Revelation 21:3-4 NKJV

If you look at this scripture carefully, you will discover that there are tears that cannot be wiped away from men until God OWN THEM and TABERNACLE in them. If you try to wipe such tears away by sowing seeds, fasting and prayer, running after and looking for prophets who should speak into your life, bringing anything they tell you to bring, or using whatever they instructed you to use in prayer, they will never be wiped away.

SADLY, SO MANY ARE TRYING TO WIPE AWAY TEARS THAT CAN ONLY BE WIPED AWAY WHEN GOD TABERNACLES OR LIVE IN THEM.

Tears like persistent poverty, spiritual attacks, being due for marriage yet it’s not forth coming, what we call generational curses, things we blame on what deliverance ministers’ call “foundational problems” or “evil altars” cannot be wipe away from men until GOD live in them.

Friend whatever evil work in your life that deliverance ministers may have blamed on your foundation or evil altars can only be neutralized in your life when God comes into your life to tabernacle in you. That is why I tell people it is not the presence of an evil foundation in their lives that is responsible for their problems but the absence of the foundation of the LORD in their lives.

When God tabernacles in your life, the Bible says no evil will befall you. Whatever cannot befall God will not befall you. Now, how do we come to the realm where God will tabernacle in us? Our devotional text today is full of the answers, because to me there is no other answer that can be more accurate than the one God Himself gave through Apostle Paul as captured in our devotional text.

A major highlight in the text says,

As God has said: "I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people." Therefore "Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you." 'I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty."

The only thing to do to come into that realm where God tabernacles people, is to use His saving grace upon your life to come out of things that will not let Him dwell in you. You make use of that grace through fasting, prayers, and separation from anything considered unclean by Him (not by religion).

It could be a church that has become unclean in his sight, a business that is defiling you, a friend or carnal relationship, a pseudo marriage etc. It could even be a paradigm to shift away from; a thought system or mindset to dissolve by the power of scriptural revelations.

The point is you can use God’s saving grace upon your life to discern those things, places or people God wants you to come out from and come out from them. The Rhema word remains, "Come out from among them and be separate … and I will receive you.” Hallelujah!!

As we bring this to a close, I want to submit to you that there are dimensions of God you will never know until you come out of things that are spiritually unclean – marriages considered in Heaven as unclean, businesses considered in Heaven as unclean, Relationships considered in Heaven as unclean, Churches
considered in Heaven as unclean, families considered in Heaven as unclean, and etc.

God will never unleash more of Himself into your life if you have not used His grace upon your life to walk away from things unclean. My prayer for us today is that we stop shortchanging our destinies through illegal attachments and alliances. Amen!!

MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR THE DAY

“O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open. You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. Now in return for the same(I speak as to children), you also be open.

“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?”

“And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people."

Therefore "Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you."
'I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 2 Corinthians 6:11-7:1 NKJV

THE CRY OF THE SPIRIT DEVOTIONALS - BY RICHARD E. S. TAKIM
TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL (Wednesday 10 June 2026)

“Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way you should go.

“Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.” Isaiah 48:17-18NKJV

WELCOME TO THE 161st DAY OF OUR YEAR OF STRATEGIC VICTORIES!

What a day to be alive and well. God have been faithful to us. We give Him the glory for His glorious moves and marvelous works in our lives. Indeed, “man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceed from the mouth of God.”

I am so glad that the statement did not come from a theologian or a religious person, it came from God Himself. He taught Israel just that one lesson for 40 years. If the lesson was not important, learning about it would not have been that long, and why did God take so long a time to teach a nation just that?

You see, when God speaks, He does not speak to the body of man. He speaks to our spirits. So, when He feeds man with His word, He does not feed his body. He feeds his spirit. We feed our bodies, while God feed our spirits. So, when God said, “man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from His mouth”

He was revealing to us what the human spirit needs to become alive and powerful in the spirit realm. Simply put, He was telling us that just as the human body needs natural food (bread) to stay alive, so the human spirit needs spiritual food (God’s Rhema or proceeding Word) to stay alive.

Meaning, if the preaching you hear in your church is not a proceeding word from God, you will never come alive in the spirit. You will become spiritually weak, malnourished, and eventually die. When you die, a life of sin will result. But there is more to this revelation.

You see, man is made up of spirit, soul, and body because he was created in the image of God, who is also made-up Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. The spirit of man was designed to be his divine communication gadget. That is why the Bible says, “God is Spirit they that worship Him must do so in spirit and in truth.”

NOW, WHAT IS THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF THAT?

Here is it; with our spirits, we commune with God, with our souls we assimilate from God, and with our bodies we carry out the ex*****on of what is assimilated. You see, God designed life to begin from within. He never designed life to begin from without.

That is why the Bible says in proverbs 4:23 “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” (NKJV)

The heart within context refers to the spirit of man. It is in the heart or spirit of man that all divine activities take place. Then they are subsequently, communicated or transmitted from the spirit to the soul, and then the body. The body then bring into the natural world whatever was received by our spirits.

God designed our bodies to carry out whatever our spirits and souls transmit to its senses, either good or bad. That is why He counseled us to yield our spirits to Him alone so that good things alone will be coming out of our lives. Now, why did God create man that way?

The reason is simple; man was originally created to outsource Heaven to the earth. Though his body was created from the ground or the earth, his spirit – the real man - came from God. In other words, the spirit of man came from GOD where his survival resources are. Our spirit needs to be alive so that we can collect those survival resources and live on earth successfully.

His primary responsibility, therefore, was to bring things in Heaven to the earth as written in Heaven. That was how he named the animals. Obviously, He outsourced the names from Heaven to the earth and God did not change any of the names because all names corresponded with the names God gave those animals in Heaven.

The Bible says,

“Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.” Genesis 2:19 NKJV

LIFE BEFORE THE FALL OF MAN WAS SO BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE HE SUCCESSFULLY OUTSOURCED HIS EARTHLY LIFE FROM HEAVEN UNTIL THE FALL.

But after the fall, he was disconnected from God and could no longer outsource his earthly life from Heaven. He began to outsource it from the earthly and satanic realms, resulting in all kinds of crisis on earth.

In other words, his spirit started outsourcing his earthly life from the earthly and satanic realm. So, when you see a man suffering or living an unbelievably bad and sinful life, his spirit is outsourcing something from another realm outside Heaven, into his life.

That is why the Bible says we should keep our spirits (heart) with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life.

God is saying to us through this scripture that we should make sure that our spirits are reconnected back to Heaven, and feed with what proceeds from His mouth. That is the only way we can go back to the kind of life Adam lived before the fall; a life of outsourcing his earthly life from Heaven. A major highlight in our devotional text this morning says,

“Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.”

This scripture is one of the lamentations of the almighty in the Bible. God is saying to us in this scripture that no matter what may be going on in our lives, if we heed to His commandments or proceeding word, it will connect our spirits back to the Heavenly realm and change our circumstances.

In the Heavenly realm there is no war. There is just peace! So, if our spirits are connected back to the Heavenly realm, peace will begin to come into our lives like a river. Hallelujah!

This is where sitting in Churches planted in the Holy Place comes in. However, most local churches do not meet the spiritual threshold, due to what we call church failure. One of the greatest problems of men today is Church failure. Church has failed in connecting many back to the true GOD.

WHAT IS THE MESSAGE THIS MORNING? THE MESSAGE IS SIMPLE;

God never designed that our earthly lives be outsourced from the earth or demonic realm. God designed that our earthly life be outsourced from Heaven. We malfunction spiritually, and come under intense hardship, curses, satanic attacks, and total disharmony in all aspects of life when our earthly lives are not outsourced from Heaven.

In other words, if our earthly lives are not Heavenly governed, there will be no peace in our lives. And God’s way of returning us back to that Heavenly governed life is by feeding our Human spirit (the man in us) with what proceed out of His mouth – the Rhema word.

There is always a Rhema word that will connect us to God to quench adversity in any crisis area of our lives. That word is what you must seek God to receive, assimilate and obey. If you do, your peace will be like a river according to the word of the LORD.

MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR THE DAY

"Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways! I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries.

“The haters of the Lord would pretend submission to Him, but their fate would endure forever. He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat; and with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you." Psalms 81:13-16 NKJV

THE CRY OF THE SPIRIT DEVOTIONALS - BY RICHARD E. S. TAKIM

TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL (Tuesday 09 June 2026)

“So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.”

“Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the Lord your God chastens you.” Deuteronomy 8:3-5 NKJV

WELCOME TO THE 160TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF STRATEGIC VICTORIES!

We may be in a season of trial as humans but am convinced that the days of God’s glory are also here.

When we say glory, we are referring to the fullness of God on display. And Jesus is that fullness. He is present among us demonstrating and manifesting His fullness upon our lives, putting us in a reformation mode, making us stewards of measures of revival in the Holy place.

That is why it is not good to be in the outer darkness in the realm of the spirit, not even in the outer court.

The glory can move on all, but it does not rest on people in the outer darkness. It only rest on people in the Holy place, making them stewards of the end time measures of God’s fire and apostolic force, making it possible for us to come out of any circumstances of life strongly.

Friend, like I have always maintained, these are no longer days of praying with bottles of oil in your hands. That is just the spirituality of the outer court, even spreading to the outer darkness. We have done that in time past and discovered that there is more in God. These are days of praying in the holy place and becoming God’s reformation force on earth.

You see, there is so much to press into in our age that is bigger than the anointing oil or whatever is used in the outer court. It is called the fullness of God. One of the major things that Israel got from the fulness of God is the proceeding word that kept them alive.

Like some of us may have known, the Bible is made up of the logos and the Rhema. In other words, the spirits and the letters or the spoken and the written words. Jesus said the words that I speak to you are spirits and life.

When you open the pages of the Bible, you find the logos, the letters, and the written. But when the Holy Spirit lives in you and you open your spirit as you open its pages, you will contact the Rhema, the spirit and the spoken word as you read.

THAT IS HOW WE TOUCH THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, THE VERY TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST.

The contact makes you more accurate than any prophet or prophetess out there because the word of the LORD is lifted higher even above the name of the LORD. You see, genuine prophetic flow is scripturally based and scripturally cooked.

False prophetic flow is always soulish, seductive, deceptive, and mystical. It is always far apart from the spirits of the letters of God’s word. You can tell the difference because God does not speak in contradiction to His written word.

People who absorb themselves in the spirit of the word, suddenly finds out that if you want to hear accurately from GOD, what you find in the Bible will show you which scripture to wait and meditate upon to receive an accurate proceeding word from Him.

Now I am not saying we stand on one single scripture then come out with a suppose proceeding word from the LORD. That is destructive. Standing on one scripture without a corresponding truth from another scripture will make you do things that will tear your life apart, thinking that its God that is leading you.

You see, the Bible is not capable of private interpretation. In other words. scripture is designed to interpret scripture, and such interpretations can only be accurate if the person reading the Bible or preaching from it is filled with the Spirit of truth (the manifestation of the Holy Spirit that reveals all truths in the Holy Scriptures).

Sadly, many have stood on certain feelings and twisted scriptures to speak a suppose word from the LORD and destroyed both themselves and those who hear or trust them.

For instance, those who stood on the scripture that told us how Elisha poured salt into a stream and prophesied the waters out of a plague, have told us how God used that scripture to speak to them to use salt to pray for people. They stood on it without a corresponding truth from Matthew chapter five that says we are the salt of the earth and deceived so many people.

HERESIES AND FALSE PROPHECIES ARE CONCEIVED THAT WAY.

They are conceived when men and woman who have not sat under genuine apostolic grace to receive the Spirit of truth try to preach the Bible. They are conceived by inspiration that is not rooted in sound doctrine, and prophetic feelings not powered by the Spirit of Truth.

Yes, talking about prophetic feelings, every prophecy proceeds from a prophetic sensation or feeling.

When the prophetic sensation is genuine, it will spew out authentic prophetic flow from the throne room of God, but if it is not, it will spew out something that is extra biblical, half-truth, or complete lies from the pit of hell. Authentic prophetic feelings are scriptural based. They are product of strong seasons of encounters with the word of truth and righteousness.

Sadly, the prophetic feelings of most people these days are scooped from carnality and Biblical Illiteracy. They do not spend even minutes with scriptures under accurate tutors of the word but come out with “God says” by the seconds.

False prophetic anointing is generated from an internal fountain of corruption, spiritual ignorance, greed, covetousness, or bitterness. That is why you find seed sowing prophecies, enemy killing prophecies, and prophecies on possessing other people’s possessions and even spouses, the norm in the prophetic delivery of most Christians.

In so many local churches today, a Christian will hear from ‘God’ at one moment to join a Church and at another moment, sometimes after few days, he or she is hearing from ‘God’ again to quit. You find the prophetic hearing of many very annoying and confusing.

Others will hear from God at one moment to marry this person and at another moment they are hearing another thing, sometimes within the same day. In such moments I do ask myself if God is so confused and stupid that He does not know who the real wife or husband of such people is.

BUT I KNOW HE IS NOT. IT IS THE PEOPLE THAT ARE STUPID AND CONFUSED BY LYING ON HIM.

When you lie on GOD for too long, you will run into the consequence. You must be careful what you claim to be from GOD. Many do not know that one can be struck by what looks like insanity when they lie on God over time. That is why so many people who claim to be hearing from GOD have become like mad men or women.

It is God’s way of rebuking them so that they can be found to be liars. The Bible says,

“Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5-6 NKJV

This scripture is a warning to the “GOD told me” and “GOD say” generation who lie on Him and say “He says” while He has not spoken a word. Recently, many of them have been rebuked and found to be liars. However, the greater level of rebuke is coming and is awfully close. Friend, to receive a true Rhema word from God these days, your fountain must be pure.

Our devotional text today is incredibly unique. A major Highlight of it says;

“So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.”

In this scripture, you find God making Israel to suffer hunger and fed them with just one type of food from Heaven. Apart from bringing them to a place in the Spirit where they can develop a sense of value on the proceeding word, the other intent was to purify them.

God’s will is that we have a prophetic people on the face of the earth.

However, we cannot become part of these people until we operate accurately in the prophetic. And we cannot operate accurately in the prophetic until our spirits are purified by the LORD. Sadly, since many rejects God’s purification process, sorcery and divination has now become the prophetic anointing of most youths, Christians who appear serious minded, prophets and prophetesses.

WHERE THERE IS NO PURITY OF SPIRIT, THERE CANNOT BE ACCURATE PROPHETIC FLOW!

If a prophetic flow is oozing out of you despite your sinful living and corrupt spirit, you are operating under the spirit of divination and sorcery. An unclean spirit is powering you to speak those words, even if you are calling the name of Jesus, or quoting the scriptures.

The Holy Spirit does not use unholy vessels; He will first cleanse them.

Yes, He will first purge and purify a man before using him to speak. That is why HOLINESS was the primary hallmarks of the men and women God used in Bible days to speak prophetically. They were first called “Holy Men of God” before operating as prophets of GOD. But today the story is different.

Our prophets and prophetesses are le****ns and s*x addicts. They are masturbators and liars. They prophe-lie and speak under a demonic anointing. They are greedy, covetous, sinful and dirty in spirit, yet we call them “men and women of God.”

Even the lay Christians who claim to be moving in the prophetic are no different from these preachers.

They have capacity to seduce men and women to s*xual infidelity. They tell lies like the devil and still claim a prophetic call. They practice all kinds of secret sins calling it weaknesses yet come out with a prophetic tone that can only be something they stole from genuine prophets of God. They are money and fame driven.

The love of money and the care of this world are stronger in their hearts than the love for God. They are crafty, wicked, and vengeful, yet they claim prophetic hearing. They hide bitterness in their hearts and do so many things to appear holy and right before people. They do that basically to cover their wickedness.

If you want to be blessed by God’s Rhema word this month, you must seek the grace of God to make you pure in spirit. Your internal fountain as a Child of God must be made clean. That is the message this morning!

MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR THE DAY;

“Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity."

But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. 2 Timothy 2:19-21 NKJV
