 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

WEDNESDAY AUGUST 19, 2020.

SUBJECT : THE WORD OF GOD! - PART 2.

Memory verse: "God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will not do? Or has spoken, and will He not make it good?" (Numbers 23 vs 19.) 

READ: Isaiah 55 vs 8 - 11:

55:8: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says the LORD.

55:9: For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

55:10: For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

55:11: So shall My Word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

INTIMATION:

When you understand rightly the integrity of God's Word, you will then appreciate why David said the ‘Word is sweeter than honey to his mouth’ (Psalm 119 vs 103). The integrity of the Word is the basis of faith, hence Paul called it "The Word of faith" (Romans 10 vs 8). The Word of God is not simply a collection of words from God, or a vehicle for communicating ideas. His Word is purposeful hence it accomplish what what He please, and prospers in the things for which He sent it, and never returns to Him void. His powerful Word is superbly sharp, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense. It lays us open to listen and obey. Nothing, and no one is impervious to God's Word, as nothing can get away from it.

Word practice makes for a profitable living. The practice starts with your believe in the Word. Believing builds up your faith. To “believe” is to have trust in, or firm conviction about something. To believe in the Word is accepting its existence, recognizing its value or advantage, and to have faith in its ability. Believing is just the beginning, you have to have faith in what you believe, and demonstrate that faith by practicing what you have believed. Even the demons also believe, but fail to practice that believe (James 2 vs 19). God wants a personal, dynamic relationship with you that will transform your life by demonstrating your faith in His Word. God assures us that all who honestly seek Him—who act in faith on the knowledge of God (the Word) they possess—will be rewarded (Hebrews 11 vs 6).

The reason of unbelief, and a faltering faith is a lack of assurance of the integrity of the promises in the Word. God's Word is an embodiment of His faith. In Hebrews 11 vs 3 the Bible says: "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." God called the universe into existence out of nothing; He declared that it was to be, and it was. Our faith is in the God who created the entire universe by His Word. God's Word has awesome power, and we can't go wrong since God can never go wrong. His consistent purpose is to carry out what He has said, and planned. All that is written in Bible are God's Word, and are for our benefit. Live the Word life, and rest assured of good success in all areas of your life.

For instance, the Scripture in Proverbs 4 vs 20 - 22, says, "My son give attention to words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh." God's Word is medicine to all your flesh, but you need to learn how to take God's medicine in order to get it to work for you. The honest truth is that God's medicine (God's Word) won't do you any good if you hear it over and over for hours, and yet continue to think wrong and talk wrong. You have got to believe God and have faith in His Word you heard, and then act out your faith on the Word you heard. For faith without works is dead (James 2 vs 20). 

Therefore, the message is that God's Word is the source of long life, peace, and days of continuous victory, it the source of physical and spiritual restoration. It is the source of continuous guidance by God. If you really want to do something healthy today, read the Word of God. It will refresh and restore your heart, soul, mind, and body; “He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” (Psalm 107 vs 20.) There's not a health spa in the world that can make that happen.

Prayer: Abba Father, forever Your Word is perfect, proven, and settled in heaven. Enlighten my eyes of understanding in Your Word that I may know the breadth, and length, and depth, and height of Your love, mercy, faithfulness, and goodness to me, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
