FAITH CAPSULES: Keeping the testimonies of God to experience His blessing.
1Timothy 4
Know that the word of God is His command, His statutes, and is the testimony of God.
Living a God-given life is keeping His testimonies of God that provoke the blessings of God.
Expectation for the blessing of God demands keeping His testimony diligently.
The word of God speaks to all, “You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you.” (Deuteronomy 6:17)
Let there be desire in you to experience the blessings of God.
Keeping the testimonies of God is seeking Him to receive His blessing.
What you keep in the word of God (testimony of God) is what you have received to become of you and position you for the blessings of God.
Psalm 119:2 encourages, “Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!”
The promise of God does not return to God void.
Isaiah 55:11 testifies, “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.”
Living a God-given life, be encouraged in the word of God, and keep the word of God that does not return void.
It avoids the word of God not to claim the promise of God.
Keeping the testimonies of God will be meditating on the word of God.
Meditating is communicating with God so as not to miss His presence.
The word of God identifies keeping His testimonies in Joshua 1:8, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
Keeping God’s testimonies by meditating on His word is set to gain the blessing of God’s success.
In the life journey, give yourself to testimonies of God by meditating on His word continually.
The Bible identifies when you meditate on the word of God:
Psalm 77:6, “… I meditate within my heart, And my spirit makes diligent search.”
Psalm 77:12, “I will also meditate on all Your work, And talk of Your deeds.”
Psalm 145:5, “I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, And on Your wondrous works.”
1 Timothy 4:15, “Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.”
The word of God is God.
The word of God is His command, His statutes are His testimonies, and one that will live life by keeping the word of God, meditating on the word of God will experience the blessings of God.
Keep the testimonies of God to experience the blessing of God.
Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to keep His testimonies.
