FAITH CAPSULE: A pledge in the heart lives life for God.

Jeremiah 30

The word of God demands commitment from all.
Also, the word of God is not for decoration but for declaration navigating the life journey. 
The word of God is for deliverance, healing, and preservation.
Are you giving yourself to the word of God?
The evidence of one that gives self to the word shall live by the word of God.
Answering as a believer in God with no evidence of declaring the word of does not live life by the word of God but as a religious one.
Come out of RELIGION of the mouth, but give self to the word of God. 
A failure to give earnest heed to the word of God will lead to distance from God but closer to self-destruction.
Living by the word of God is rooted in giving more earnest heed to the things heard in the word. 
Living by the word of God works for those who work the works of God. 
What is your work with the word of God?
In the book of John 6:28, Jesus was asked, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus responded, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” One that gives earnest heed to Jesus and lives life by the word of God.
Jesus is the word of God. Give the more earnest heed to His word.
The word of God is POWER with no substitute that is in place for one that lives life for the glory of God.
The word of God is the way to salvation.
The power in the word of God is for deliverance and preservation.
What is holding you from giving earnest heed to the word of God?
The word of God is power.
By the word, Jesus brought Lazarus from the grave in four days. Bible records: “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” (John 11:42-43)
Importantly, give earnest heed to the word of God to dwell and abide in the presence of God.
Dwelling and abiding in the word of God is evidence of a pledge to be approaching God.
Those that pledge to approach God are such that make up minds for God. Jeremiah 30:21-22 buttresses, “…For who is this who pledged his heart to approach Me?’ says the Lord. You shall be My people, And I will be your God.’”
How is your way of life demonstrating the pledge of your heart to God?
Give more earnest heed to the word of God!

Prayer for today: Ask for your ears to hear and receive the word of God in your heart
