FAITH CAPSULE: Be occupied by the presence of God.
John 1:1-35
Day after day, week after week, and month after month.
To be alive is the grace and mercy of God.
Undoubtedly, God does not own any creation but, all own God to live for His glory.
What occupies you determines living for God.
What is your desire to occupy you?
To be occupied by the word of God is in a position to live by the word of God.
The word of God is God.
John 1:1-3 informs all, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
Jesus is the word of God.
Whoever is occupied by the entrance of the word of God is bound to live for God.
Revelation 3:12 records the word of Jesus, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him, and he with Me.”
God, the perfect creator, does not force anyone to gain entrance into the life of one.
God is not a slave master but a saving God.
Why not take a position to allow the word of God into your life?
Why not?
One that allows the entrance of the word of God shall become built to gain the inheritance among the sanctified. (Acts 20:32)
One occupied by the word of God is to gain the presence of God, live by His word, and retain His presence.
The word of God is not a destination for the tips of the mouth but for the heart.
One not occupied by the word of God lives by the way of the world.
It is a wicked world covered by the darkness of evil.
The wicked world demands the light of God to navigate and arrive at the divine assignment of God.
Jesus, the word of God, is the Lamb of God.
Revelation 21:23 states, “The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.”
John the Baptist once identified Jesus as the Lamb of God when Jesus approached him, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29)
The word of God is light.
Jesus is the Lamb of God.
Jesus is the light of God.
God is light. 1 John 1:5 records, “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.”
Pray for the understanding of God.
Psalm 119:130 records, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”
Prayer for today: Ask the light of God to gain entrance into your life to occupy you against the darkness of this world.
