Today's reading: Psalm 74

But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
2 Timothy 1:10

The literal meaning of the word "gospel" is "good news". It is a message of victory. God Himself has made known the glorious message of the tremendous victory wrought by Jesus Christ at the cross. On the day of the crucifixion, His enemies imagined they had finally got rid of Jesus. In fact, through His death and resurrection, He conquered death and the devil.
In Greek history, there is an incident that illustrates pointedly the significance of the word "gospel". The marathon race in the Olympic Games is a reminder of the event. 2,500 years ago, a Greek runner returned to Athens from the battle against the Persian king Darius. He stormed through the city gate, uttering just one cry in his exhaustion: "Victory". Then he collapsed and died. The man had covered some 25 miles running from the plain of Marathon to Athens, so as to bring his compatriots the news of liberation.
Until today, God has called on his messengers to make known the gospel of the grace of God, the content of which is: turning to God by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul says of this gospel that it is "the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes" . All who believe this good news are freed from the bond of sin and the power of the devil and take their stand on the side of the Victor of Calvary, Jesus Christ, God's well beloved son.

FASTING IS NECESSARY

To relate with the Holy Spirit, you must be holy. You must also exercise a living faith, pray and fast. Some people will tell you that because had finished the work of salvation, there is no need to fast. To them, fasting is completely needless and is some form of self-inflicted punishment.

Jacob sojourned with Laban and laboured for him for several years. At first, his host was cheating him at every opportunity, and the years of his hard labour were almost in vain.

The name you bear is very important because it serves as your identity and your future may be connected to it. The name a person bears is sometimes indicative of the experiences he or she will encounter in life. Take for instance Moses: this name means "drawn out of water"
